Humans as wiper towels

[sara722003]

Does anyone else feel like they are being 'used' by Newfs as their own personal wiper and smearer of all gooky things?? We haven't had a Newf for about 15 years. Now our boy is almost 3 and we had forgotten in those intervening years how much these guys like to greet you by pushing and smearing you with all kind of 'goodies'.

Sheez.

I adore my boy, so yes, I must admit, I put up with being the used rag....but honestly. What is with these guys???:run:

I must admit he makes my heart sing each and every day when I swing my legs out of bed and he cheers me on with the biggest "whoo hoo". I absolutely LIVE for that moment each morning, when his happiness overflows. That sound, in and of itself, makes me cheer Life.

simba is like that to. and in the morning when i wake up he grabs a toy and growls but not really. the only way i can describe his happy noise is more like a cat purring but bigger lol.

Yes I love the big cat purr too. I do think that is why some people say some newfs are aggressive (silly people). I actually think that is what happened to our rescue Zacky. I adore the sound..............
And yes I am the number one "rag" in our household.:lol: :lol:

I just thought that was a Newf Trait (LOL).

Burgess loves to scrape his mouth on the garage mats that cover our kitchen floor. I think it feels good. Of course, if he has a mouth full of water or slime, he puts his head in mommy's lap.

Yes, we humans are mere "lapkins".

Oliver doesn't personally use me but, I have to stand at the corner of the sofa after Oliver eats/drinks because on his way to the sliding glass doors, he like to take a detour and wipe his mouth on the couch. UGH!

Riki waits until I am in dress pants and walking out the door to slime me. She literally waits to see me put my pants on, gets a huge drink of water and then quite deliberately wipes her chops all over me until I am slimed and have no time to change. She has it down to a science.

Now that the weather is getting nice, I like to sit outside for a bit before going off to work. I have my dressy clothes on but over the top is big robe! I am covered neck to ankle in robe...in the event a newf decides to get their morning loves while I am sitting outside. And that love time is usually right after they have taken a big drink.

So to answer your question...yes!

i find my stevie likes to come and rub her drooly or wet face on me, my lap or on my arm. but she is so cute while she does it!!LOL!

Wash is a firm believer that sharing is caring.

Thanks all, for these responses. They really made me laugh out loud. We all go through it, I guess. Par for the breed.

This is how I leave the house too!!!! Either an old robe that can go over my clothes, or an old pair of scrubs over the clothes. At least that way, I can get where I am going dry and without Newfie gifts attached to my clothes.

Now Beau has it down to a real science, just ask Guy Germaine, he doesn't use your pants or shirt as a napkin, he has to use your face with big slurpy kisses of course!!

Bär is the same way using us for a towel. But he learned quickly that once daddy has his uniform on, he is to clear of him or he does not get his bye bye treat from daddy.

 

[Erika]

Yahooooooooooo on human towels, yep its what we live for. We should market the floog and slime look..........lol

 

[jane]

Merlin definately like's to put his wet mouth on your clothe's..UGH...At least Roger is polite and shake's his head, sending everything in every direction, before he put's his head on you...

The only thing my husband is having trouble learning to tolerate about Newfdom is the drool. He really can't handle it. BUT Seamus has managed to get into his heart anyway and DH actually is sharing the responsibility of taking turns sleeping downstairs with Seamus since he can't go up the stairs yet. This morning he said, "You know, your dog really is an a**ho**. This morning he got up at 4 am, took a nice long drink, then strolled over to me. He stood for about 2 seconds, then took a nice hard shake. Why can't he shake by his bowl?" I know I shouldn't, but I think it's hilarious!

 

[2newfs4now]

Of course and darn proud of it! Hubby on the other hand, hates the drool and has at least two drool towels in each room.

As a proud wipee of only one week, I knew I was in, when Theo took a huge drink last night before our walk, then walked over to me as I was putting on my shoes and deliberately, let me say that again--deliberately, wiped his face on my shirt, pants and crotch :tongue: what a :clown:.

In a joyous moment I yelled out to my husband, I'VE BEEN NEWFED!!whoopeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
