How do they do it.

When I first talked about getting a newf I was met with some resistance. Think of the drool! They are big. What about all that hair? After meeting some real life newfs it was agreed that yes I could have a newf puppy! Now mind you I was to be his primary caregiver and he better not hurt the cats. And drool is gross.
Fast forward.
Taver has been with us for 15 months now. I have just been informed that he needs a sister to play with :).
I think my partner has been Newfed.
So now I begin the hunt. I hope it doesn't take as long as it did with Taver.
Maybe I just need to go to Ginny's and puppy nap one of those cuties.

15 months wow he really held out didnt he.lol


Malc never wanted two newfs but it was his suggestion .could have knocked me back when l heard from a friend he was considering it.

Enjoy the hunt for a new baby or will you go to rescue?

If I can find a rescue that does well with cats that would be great, other wise it's a puppy for us. I'd really prefer a rescue, but it's my partners call.

I think the "hold out" had more to do with worry that the 17 year old golden mix would be uncomfortable with 2 newfs. Tbh it's a very valid concern. Brie is pretty fragile. I don't think she'll see another spring or summer. :( but 17 is a grand age.

I love it. Look back at the history starting in late summer of 2006 when Snuffles moved here from across the street and the *rules*we had to live by that *Grandma*, my mother imposed to start with. She has been totally newfed now though not to the point of having a second newf....but we have newf sat for 3 different newfs over the years. :)

I see that you are in Chesapeake. Are you a member of CNC? I was wondering, because Donna, the rescue chair, should be able to help...

Yes I'm in CNC. In fact, Brad, you gave me and my silly boy a ride last Christmas back to the hotel after the parade. I was the one covered in mud. :)

You did it, Taver! That is a big turnaround! Orca is 9 months and my SO is just starting to make noises about wanting another.

I talked to the area rescue and unfortunately there is not a female to be found! Please wish me luck in the puppy hunt. Though I think I may have a possibility. Funny how the first puppy hunt took about 18 months, and now it's so much easier.

Yes, you've been Newfed. And Leonard, I sure remember all those Grandma rules...sometimes I would read one of your posts and think to myself I must have got it wrong. It couldn't have been Leonard's mom who objected. :)
