Oh Pitchy, you got your happy smile back! As we all know, a dog is needed around the homestead more than people are needed. Won't be long, you two will be bonded and a new chapter in your life will be on the way. Happy for you bro!-------------------Sixgun

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:15 pm

Small alright, his name is Indy.
Things are normal, got home, he drank half a bucket of water and peed on the floor

We`ll have to have a talk about that, thanks guys and hope it works out ok.

Build a bigger one.

All the Newfies I've ever met would LOVE the chance to sit in a sidecar...

Pitchy, Karnak the Magnificent just opened an envelope that was in a jar that's been on Funk&Wagnels front porch since noon today, and the answer was "a dog sled".

What was the question?

Yea, but Pitchy's going to have one heck of a time pulling the dog around. Hey, what about a sled (you could put wheels on when the snow melts) with a big ole fan (think airboat) on the back? And, just to make it interesting, make it steam powered.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:22 pm

It should be an interesting adventure

Another shot of him.

That is one beautiful dog! We are thinking of getting a Newfoundland as well. At least, that is what my daughter has her heart set on. Keep us posted on how he does.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:26 pm

Thanks guys, they say they`er real smart dogs, of coarse he don`t have to be to smart to outsmart me

Figure he`ll hold us over until Snoop dog shows up.

Post by **Chuck 100 yd** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:45 pm

He looks to be right at home in that white stuff.

Oh, by the way, I would be getting a new weather man if I had to put up with that stuff.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 5:18 pm

Thanks Chuck.
Yep we`ve got about all the snow we need, running out of a place to put it .
Another storm coming Sunday night maybe.

Really happy for you Pitchy. I'm kinda looking for a new dog to replace my Lab/Rott that I lost a few months ago. She was the best dog I've ever owned and I'm 74 now. Had a couple of Oorang Airedales that I really liked though so maybe I'll get another.
Feed him lots of venison and you'll never notice the increased feed bill.

OK, I give - which one's you, and which one's the dog...?

I'm thinkin the dog's the one with the purty black hair all over...

Sounds like a good thing you did. Post a 'range report' periodically.

Pitchy, I'm really happy that you have a new friend; he looks like a dog and a half. To my dying day, I will thank God fir the wonderful gift He gave mankind - the dog.

Thanks pards, he wants to get out and play off the leash bad.

fordwannabe · Post by **fordwannabe** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:23 am

BUT WAIT...YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM HIS JOB OF BEING A BREEDER, AND YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO LIKE YOU??????

Pitchy I am thrilled for both of you.

Bill in Oregon · Post by **Bill in Oregon** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:47 am

Pitch, don't know how I missed this, but I have been hoping and praying you would get another dog, and now you have done so in spades, so to speak. I know Indy is not Snoop, but I am sure he will come to love you just as much. This is a relief!

I doubt he'll eat much more'n a medium-sized black bear!

Congrats--he's a real beauty and will make your life better.

Thanks gents, his back feet look just like a bears foot.

At least i`m not the one that had him nuetered

fordwannabe · Post by **fordwannabe** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:34 pm

OK, then he probably will like you for taking him away from the people that did THAT!

JReed · Post by **JReed** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 4:33 pm

Glad to see you were able to open up your heart and home to a new pup. He should do great with your 12 month long winters up there

. He is a beautifull example of the breed.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 5:18 pm

Thanks guys, he`s starting to get settled in, marked his territory twice and got a spanking

He wasn`t a house dog and had a doggy door to a garage.
But he`s learning.

Grizz · Post by **Grizz** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 6:16 pm

I suppose everyone knows this and I'm the last to learn it, but you don't want your dog to see you clean up his messes in the house 'cause HE THINKS THAT'S THE SPOT WHERE YOU WANT IT.

My sister-in-law is so patient and gracious.....

Glad to see you have a new friend Pitchy.

He made me think of the time we bought a new house when I was a kid. We didn't know the old, old lady across the back fence had an extra large dog that looked just like Indy only being owned by an old lady he was waaay over fed. The first time I saw it I was in about the second grade. I went running back in the house thinking there was a bear in our back yard.

Tycer · Post by **Tycer** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 5:25 pm

Good stuff!!!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:37 pm

Thanks guys.
Rusty, when we met the owners of Indy at a gas staition parking lot we were standing outside the car with him.
A van pulled up beside our car and a young kid of about four got out on the far side and came walking around the corner. Indy liking kids started walking toward the poor kid that i`m sure also thought he was a bear.

We let him off the leash today and he stayed right by us, he is really bonding with us fast.
