Reaistically a Newf would be too much dog for me, but they are my fantasy dog. (I think this fantasy also involve a life of leisure with a house by the ocean for the dog's daily swims.) Also, I'd probably get a rescue if I got a dog,so I may end up with a mutt.
Barb, I am so sorry about Boomer. That must be heartbreaking. I know my parent's got rid of a dauchsund shortly before I was born because it nipped, and my mom was afraid what it would do to a baby crawling all over it.
Conversely nephew grew up with a chocolate lab, Bear, and that dog was so incredibly tolerant of all the abuse that a baby/toddler can give.

My mom took her new bulldog with her when she stayed at her stepdaughter's house and babysat her toddler while D and J had their anniversary dinner, and Millie reminded her of why bulldogs are so great around babies/toddlers. Sarah, the toddler, loved Millie to pieces, hung on her, pulled her ears before they could stop her, and held her leash out in the yard, and Millie didn't react at all badly, just took it all in stride. The bulldog we had when I was born was equally great around little ones--she practically babysat us.
"Cats and dogs...living together...mass hysteria!!!"
Okay, I finally clicked on a cute animal picture and ick! That's disturbing.

The cat and dog? I think it's the look on the dog's face. Though that's not an embrace - they're wrestling. You know, like the Greeks did.
That Chihuahua sure looks a little sheepish.
I'm going to get my hair cut in an hour. I hope the pixie cut I picked doesn't just make me look like a fat pixie.

Yeah, it's all "You know it!"
I'm having trauma.

No way! It'll make your amazing eyes look unbearably entrancing.
Timelies all!
I'm sure Newfoundlands can be wonderful dogs, but I'm a bit leery of dogs that can walk me.
(I have nothing against dogs, I just prefer cats)
