In early summer of this year, my first ever Newf (Marcello) and I embarked upon a Water Test Event. We were both a little overwhelmed (and at 8 months old, he couldn't even swim), well with meatballs and coaching, that lasted less than an hour.
The next stage was training - I searched for bumpers, the usual pet stores, blah blah blah - THEN I found www.katiesbumpers.com. CHANGED OUR LIVES! Marcello LOVES THEM, he has 2 - one for training and one for play, oh and he has one of her "heave hose" as well.
Jill's mum is Rhoda Lerman who wrote "In the Company of Newfs" a) she's reprinting it!!! (go to www.katiesbumpers.com to order AND b) Jill is the most wonderful wonderful woman! I dare you to ask either Rhoda or Jill how Katies Bumpers came about. They're not your average bumpers!! and thankfully they're not your average people. I love them to death (Jill and the bumpers that is).
