"Emily"

The Newfoundland Dog 

 

 

The latest addition to our family is Emily the Dog.  Emily is a Newfoundland dog - a breed that Paul has wanted since, well, forever.  However, it is not a breed conductive for a single guy to own while living in an apartment.  Emily's Mama is 130 pounds and Daddy is 180 pounds.  Thus, we will have a "Big Girl" on our hands.  She will be our big "Drooly Newfie."

Emily, we hope, will be a gentle, big lumpy dog - but we will have to survive this puppy stage.  Puppies are very cute - unless you have to own them - as we have discovered.
