Newfies can make their owners do the funniest things! 

If you do funny things just to please your Newf, don't feel alone.  We all do!  That is how they have trained us!!!  If you have funny or strange things you do for your Newf, please email me at katie18287@yahoo.com  and I'll put your story on the blogs.  It should be fun to see what people will do for the love of their friend.

Otis - From Paula

Kay

We bought a newfi from you back in the fall of 2000. We lived in Ogden Dunes at the time. Otis has given us lots of joy and is a great companion. Our daughter was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia which affects her walking. Otis stays right at her side and is there for her to grab and help with her balance. He did this on his own.

He has another funny thing he does. If the floor is not carpeted. He only walks backwards on it. This is on our wood floors in the living room. Our deck whatever, I guess he just feels safer doing this. Makes quite the conversation when we have friends over.

Our Newf, Madame Pamplemousse (Moose for short) also walks backwards on hardwood floors or slippery surfaces. In fact, she has taken to going up and down our entry way stairs backwards because they are wood. Interesting to see how they will adapt!
