Calculations
« on: November 02, 2005, 06:28:05 pm »
After having Webster for a month, (and a previous newf for 14 years), I have figured out how often I need to let him out to pee, to poo, how often to feed him and how much.   What I cannot calculate is the "just right" amount of water to put down in his water bowl at any one time.  If there is too little, he will put his paw in it and swirl it around and out of the bowl til it is empty.  If I put more than he can drink at one time, he will tip the bowl over and mop my kitchen floor with an inch of water and his hairy little backside.  At night, when I am "rationing" his water before bedtime, I will give him ice cubes.  The little dickens will eat ice as long as I will give it to him. It will dribble out of his mouth like a little faucet.  If there is water in Rileys bowl, Webster will set it flying across the room.  I won't even begin to calculate the amt of water Webster has emptied from our fish pond.  It is cute and funny, just not always to the one who has to mop it all up.

Also, I have just this morning calculated how much time I can leave Webster on his own.  ZERO MINUTES!  This morning, in the length of time it took me to brush my teeth, he managed to pull 4 towels from the hall bathroom and to seek and destroy a bag of hickory chips that was supposedly lost for the last year.  (I still don't know where he found them)    Webster is 3 months old, afraid of NOTHING and full of personality.  At least we can still laugh and call it personality.

What a goofy Newfy you have there! Sounds like there is never a dull moment at your house. ;D

amazingly he sounds a lot like Gracey too!  She was into EVERYTHING for months.  I can turn my back on her now for short periods of time though.  It's a relief...but I kinda miss those mischievious days.
