Yeeeeaaaaaaaa - I was so hoping you would post a pic of Cowboy comforting Chester! What a sweet big brother! I just love your handsome boys!

....and proud of it!!!  We had the dogs at our local farmer's market last weekend and a man walked up to dh and I and was commenting on the dogs.  He made me laugh when he said, "I've never seen anybody with just one Newf.  Do they only come in mulitples?"   ;)

Or as Queen Elizabeth told Prince Phillip when he complained about all the Corgies.  "but they are just so collectable!" :D

LOL, I have to say, after seeing all the handsome boys on here and after watching Sadie chase the boys around at the meet up here in MA, I've been thinking a lot about how much Sadie would love a little brother.

I think I'm gonna wait until I am fairly positive that she has stopped peeing on the rugs though ;)

Might be a good idea to wait for that magic moment...it saves marriages that way!  In all honesty, we had a year between our first two and it was GREAT!  Otis could help train Lucille and he was young enough to handle her feisty puppy antics!  Cowboy and Chester are two years apart which is fine too....but it's just a long time to wait for another puppy!! ;) ;) ;)

LOL, no marriage to save (or worry about) here. It's just me and the kiddos. Which my mother thinks will prevent me from ever getting married. "You are already the crazy cat lady - now you add a dog! What man wants to deal with that?" I think if I added another dog right now, it might just push her over the edge. I'd never marry a man who didn't love Newfies anyway, so the way I figure it, it saves time weeding out the ones I'd have to dump anyway once they reveal they don't like animals. Twisted logic? Perhaps ;)

Yeah, I think I'd like to add another Newf in a year or so. It's just that everytime I see the pictures of your two boys I feel this impulsive urge to start calling breeders  :D

I have to agree...love me, love my 300 pounds of dog!! ;)

HOWEVER, my sons regularly 'borrow' the Newfs to cruise the beach in the summer.  They are what the boys call "Chick Magnets".  ;D  The pups are MORE than happy to oblige!

See! Now why can't my Mom see the light? And I totally agree with your sons. I can't keep my hands off a Newf! She fails to see that Sadie loves me way more than any of the low-life bums I've dated ever did! And she lets me have the remote (sometimes :D)

That is the sweetest thing I've ever seen!  I have to agree w/Mom2Sadie.... perhaps a Newfie little brother for Jinx may be in order!  Although Rookie is a good little brother too!  :)

Sounds PERFECTLY logical to me!  If they don't love dogs, what kind of man are they????? 

Cowboy is SO SWEET!  He's definitely on my kidnap list!  Poor Chester!  He's so lucky to have such a sweet brother!  Is he feeling any better yet?

I plan on using Kali to test any boyfriends...i t's love me, love my dogs, or don't let the bog bite you on the butt on the way out the door ;D. Dogs are the best measure of a person.

And Chester and Cowboy are sooo cute together.  Kali says you need a black to complete the bear rug.

: newflvr March 22, 2006, 01:07:20 PM
....and Kali is right!!  but how do I convince dh??

I completely agree to let Kali test out any future boyfriends.  I REALLY believe a dog can suss out if a guy is a jerk!  And any guy who can deal with fur and drool, and in Cowboy's case, gas  ::) can probably deal with a woman!!!

I have to agree with Kali. I'm thinking black female. Cowboy and Chester need a little lady to escort them around ;)
: Re: Cowboy is such a good big brother!
: newflvr March 22, 2006, 01:13:43 PM
Yeah, but with a female, it might just throw Cowboy back in to seizures.  You know how a female can mess with a man's mind!!  That's why we got Chester!!! ;) ;) ;)  He can deal with another guy!!!

Oh no! We definitely don't want any of that! OK, a black male then. I like it. :)

Hubby needs a daddy's 'little' girl.....come on how could you resist.  And how can Cowboy and Chester have the full life experience without a little sister to pester them? Come on you know you want a black bear to add to the panda and grizzly....

Awww don't they look so snuggly together? I love it when the dogs are all cuddled up.

As for having more Newfies in the house, well I say you should have as many as you can, I would like a Landseer to go with my brown's and black's :)... Mind you I wouldn't mind another brown or black either. I'm a hopless case!!!

There was about 16 months between my first two Newfs and that was nice. Having a brother and sister I wouldn't recommend having 2 too close together. Mine were great when they were tiny, but the last couple of months they were totally mad together.... Until we had to split them up because of Kitten's OCD ::), now they miss one another, poor babes.

Does this mean I won't be taking Cowboy home anytime soon?   :D

What a lovely kind boy! I know that if Flynn had his nuts chopped off, Libby would just laugh at him and take advantage. At the moment they're arguing over a Nylabone - the fact that we have two identical ones doesn't matter, if one of them has it, the other just must have that one!
: Re: Cowboy is such a good big brother!
: newflvr March 23, 2006, 03:07:35 PM
Cowboy's were gone when we got him...so I think he has more sympathy for Chester than Libby would have for Flynn!!:D :D

Chester has his B O U N C E back!  He's feeling great and doesn't seem to miss them at all.  That said, I had to go and fetch him again last night....he had gone off visiting again!!!  Maybe we need a little less bounce!!! ::) ::)

LOL!  It is so good to hear he's feeling better!  I won't even say, "We told you so."   ;D LOL!  So, when do the gate guys start coming with their estimates?  Good luck!

: newflvr March 23, 2006, 04:32:09 PM
LOL!!!  Tomorrow at 9:00am!!!  One of the main escape routes has already been fenced in...now we have to deal with the driveway!!

....and you can say "I told you so"!!  I always worry when an animal is under the weather and always go to worst case scenario!  I am relieved it's over and we don't have to do THAT again!!
