Why Yes, I AM A Big Dog!

Mom told me I'm now 14 months old, and would you believe an amazing 175 pounds? Apparently all the Newf Research mom and dad did before I came home said I would be between 130-150, so I guess you can't believe everything you read! My vet is even happy with my weight, since I still have a nice tummy tuck. I just really am a Big Dog!

My first therapy dog training session went really well. My instructor said he doesn't see me having very many problems with anything I'll be asked to do for the test, but I do need to spend the next 8 weeks "fine tuning"' all my killer skills. I can't imagine why I should ever just pass by some perfectly good food, but apparently that's something the boss lady wants me to do. I don't know how I feel about that!

Sorry guys! I haven't written in like, fur-ever, but first not much was happening, and now, everything is happening.

Today mom's taking me to my Very First Newf club meeting. Whoo! It's called the Creekside Newfoundland Club, which just got started this past summer. It has to be functional for two whole years before it can be an AKC club (or something like that) but I get to meet and greet other Newfies! And mom gets to talk Newfies with other mommas! AND there's even a creek with a swimming hole.....and since a certain Newf blog author has never been swimming yet, I couldn't be more excited.

Tomorrow evening starts my CDC and perhaps TDI training. The CNC is sponsoring the CDC and TDI testing this May, and classes start tomorrow to get us all prepared. I know right now I'm only taking the classes for sure, we'll see how I handle class before we discuss actually taking the tests.

Ok, gotta go get brushed so I look good for the ladies today!
