HAHAHA! That's great! The problem is not convincing Mark that we need a Newf, he's convinced. Its just the money thing right now, and also he wants to wait until we buy a house. But, yeah, I've done the same kinds of things!! hehehe! I put Newfs all over his desktop on his computer, and I send him e-mails and that sort of thing. He's totally enamored with the breed, he just thinks that three kitties and our 100 pound Chewfie (Newf/Chow cross) in one place is too much! He wants to buy a house on a lake for the new pup. So, we wait.......... ....
