Lilly is fitting in very nicely here. Last Thursday (the 24th) was her 2 month anniversary. She adores her big brother Boomer, and they play like only puppies can ! She has been learning her commands admirably. She has been to agility training classes 4 times and is a natural ! Lilly and Boomer are working feverishly to evict any squirrels and chipmunks from the property. Her newest trick....she just learned yesterday the joys of a squeeky tennis ball. She just layed in the grass squeeking it. She was so happy !

it's Mr. Squirrel! ....... Rebel can't catch him

time for an after dinner nap

I have several bunnies living in a landscaped area of the front yard. Every time the Newfoundlands run out the front door they try to chase them. Newfies are made for power, not speed. They never have a chance to catch them.

”The Guinness Book of Records” lists a Newfoundland as the strongest dog in the world–that one pulled 52 pounds per pound of body weight for a total of 5,045 1/2 pounds.

The "CUMMINS DIESEL" of dogs!! All about the torque, but once rolling, its about the "mass" in motion.

@eldubb440 : it's tough being the "shop foreman"!! Needs a nap to unwind after work. Both good pics: Is Rebel eyeing up the bats? lol lol lol. WHAT A PUP!!

Is Rebel eyeing up the bats?

that reminds me......

I'm looking for someone with a lathe who can help me with my latest invention. I need a hole in the center of the blue cup. I tried doing one by eye and it wobbles. I need to move the motor down the handle to lighten the cup end

I have had girls say they want a Newfoundland. A 120-pound girl is not going to be able to hold one. When I have them on a leash and they change direction when I'm not ready it's enough to pull me off my feet. I can't imagine trying to contain a Newf that was wearing a chest harness, not a neck collar attached to a leash. Diesel and Little Bear are both 160 pounds each. Little Bear is 10 years old which is old for a large dog. When she gets in the old Ford truck she puts her front paws on the floorboard and I have to lift her back end into the truck. It takes about everything I've got sometimes.

Here's a 160-pound Newfie.

Rescues rock!

Lilly looks a lot like my former malinois rescue, Sheela. She now belongs to a good friend, smart, and well trained. Saw her again just yesterday, and she still loves me too! (Surprised how small she is though. 2/3 of my shepherds, maybe....)

If you can survive the first three years, they are amazing dogs. 45 pounds is the bottom end of the breed standard. 22-24 inches at the shoulder. She looks about right and she will fill out more as she matures.

The pics are from late 2021, and she has definitely filled out some, but still strikes me as smaller than I expected her to be.
