funny newmie story (to me anyway)

[shawn]

The other day, Jordan (my son) and I were in the living room watching TV. I heard a noise in the kitchen and KNEW it had to be my food hound (affectionately called Newmie). I asked Jordan if he would go and peek to see what Newman was getting into. Jordan eased around the corner and started screaming! I panicked and heard Newmie bolt to my bedroom. When I jumped up and got to the top of the stairs that lead to my room, I almost fell over laughing.

Newmie was standing in my room and in his mouth in a death grip was a whole, brand-new LOAF OF BREAD!!

Newmie had the saddest look on his face when he realized he had been caught.

It was like he was saying, "Mom, PLEASE don't take my bread!!" Regrettably, he had to give up the bread and now the new loaf resides ON TOP of the fridge.

He's such a silly boy!

Poor boy. He thought he'd hit the jackpot. And mean Mom goes and takes it away!

This morning Quark decided he really, really needed some of my cereal. I was arranging myself comfortably on the couch in front of the TV, and Quark shoved his face into my bowl. Luckily, Morgan and Frank were right on top of things and cleaned up after him while I put Quark in his room "to think about what he'd done." I'm pretty sure it was something like, "damn, too slow again!"

I just have to keep reminding myself that I love him anyway!

Reminds me of Sam. So many times she has gotten caught in the trash or trying to take something she know she cannot have. The look she gives is so pathetic that it is hard to correct her. Sounds like your house is like my house--no peace because of a mischievous newf...love them anyway

KZDZ,
Newmie is ALWAYS trying to get my cereal. He either tries to knock it out of my hands from the bottom or sticks his head in from the top!!

Just the other day, I was sitting in "Newmie's chair" eating a sandwich. As I went to take my first bite, Newman decided I wouldn't notice his LARGE head biting from the bottom half!! I NEVER give him people food, except fruit and stuff like that, but you would think he was used to sitting down to a gourmet dinner every night.

I love him even if he is hard-headed and irresistable and loving and slobbery (especially after cantaloupe!!!!!!)

Oh brother, am I a sucker for that sad Newfy face. I was just thinking to myself, "Well, I'm sure one piece of bread wouldn't have hurt him."

Shawn: I loved reading your story. Beau has been gone for just over 7 months and I had forgotton the look...you know...I'm innocent...I don't know how it got in my mouth look!

Thank you for reminding me. It made me smile!

Beau was famous for that look. I thought I would share this story...

Beau never was fed from the table and he never sat and begged for food. But....if you left the table and there was food on it...well it was fair game!

One night my husband decided to have a feast of some halibut that he caught. Something he rarely gets to do. I am not a big fish eater so I went out for the evening and left him to enjoy the feast. He had been looking forward to this for a very long time.

Well, he cooked up a huge plate of deep fried halibut and sat down to eat. Oops...he forgot something in the kitchen and had to go and get it. My poor husband went back to the dining room table and the plate was there....but no halibut!! Beau of course was laying on the rug with that look! You left the table...what did you think I would do?

Needless to say, my husband was not happy...but he admits that he knew better!

I would have loved to have been there!

Okay, not newf related, but since Frank (my lab/spaniel girl) has put up with 2 newf puppies, I figure she deserves some print. My husband got Frank a little over a year before we got married. My husband shared the top two floors of a house with 2 roommates. They decided to grill on the deck one day. Everything was going quite well. Frank understood the rules -- no begging, no bugging people for people food, no stealing of people food. She is a very smart girl and learned quickly what was acceptable and what was not. Unfortunately for my husband's grilling roommate, Frank's stomach sometimes gets the best of her. We were all sitting in the living room, kebabs on the coffee table, chatting while waiting for them to cool a little longer. The meat and vegetables still on the kebab sticks. Frank couldn't take it anymore -- it smelled sooooo good. All those silly people just sitting there and wasting that good food. What were they thinking? Right in front of us, little puppy Frank grabbed one of the kebab sticks and tried to run. Smart as she is, she forgot to think her plan through. Number one problem, that kebab stick was a little heavy for her mouth to handle. Number two problem, she's on the second floor of a house with no place to run. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Poor Frank was so happy for those few seconds before the "boys" all pounced on her to rescue that kebab!

I guess Misha was smarter - she just doesn't get away with trying to still anything in our presence, so she's not even trying. But there were times when there was no one around. Usually it's when I'm baking something that needs to cool before eating.

Once I gave a biskvit(?) in the balkony (closed one), where she normaly eats. I closed the doors behind, sure that I'd pick the biskvit out before Misha could get in. Boy was I wrong! My mother came, opened the doors and left it open! Misha was probably very surprised to find a coconut-biskvit in her "dinning room", but didn't mind. She just ate this strange meal until I found her. Of course I didn't punishe her - it was all my fault, but still... that was the biskvit I made for our friends who came to us for a New Year's Eve!

great stories. made me laugh I could go on and on about what Tica has stolen but the weirdest was when she figured out how to open the louverd doors and must have eaten 5 lbs of bird food. Seemed like the output was full of bird seed for days.
