It’s been a while since my last post and there’s not really a good reason aside from I’ve just been busy and there hasn’t really seemed to be much worth posting about. But I remembered these photos of Ayla’s newest toy and wanted to share. I took them when I first gave the toy to her, because needless to say it was rather dirty by the end of the day. There was no particular reason for it’s arrival other than I saw it at the store and just felt I should buy it for when she was really being good…and she has been lately.
Meet Buddy (at least that’s what we’ve been calling him lately). We already have another small dog we call Woofers and don’t want to call it anything like Puppy or Doggie since we don’t want to encourage her later on to think a real dog is a stuffed one – that could turn out disastrous.
As you can see he’s pretty much Newfie size, definitely the largest toy she’s gotten yet…aside from the huge inflatable exercise balls she used to have but killed several months ago. He’s got squeekers in each of his feet and one in his belly, but the belly squeeker is official out of commission already. Someone needs to start making Newfie resistant dog toys with squeekers that last more than a couple of days!
Ha, that ‘buddy’ is bigger than me I think! Looks like fun!

He looks adorable in your mouth Ayla! You won’t destroy him, right?
Love ya lots,
Maggie
Hi Johann!
When my mom bought this, she was thinking how funny it would be to see a Yorkie or Chihuahua running around with something like this in their mouth, dragging it everywhere they go…but I think he’s smaller than you! 🙂
Glad you like him, Maggie. I can’t make any promises about destroying him but so far he’s not allowed outside…I haven’t ripped any holes in him or anything yet but like Mom said, one squeeker is down and 4 to go 😉
Love of Newfie kisses to you both!

Ayla – Yeah! I big toy to fit you! I’m 105 pounds & sometimes my mom actually comes across toys that make me look normal sized…not like a silly little 6 inch toy that makes me look gigantic when its in my mouth! I love your blog..I have a special place in my heart for newf, cuz I’m 1/2 newf! But I look like a supersized lab…that’s my other half…but my personality is all newf…except drool free…which my mom likes!
Love & Licks,
Randi
Hi Randi!
You’re actually almost bigger than me – but I’m pretty small for a Newf anyway. I was the runt of the litter and I’m still the most active too…so I bet we have a lot in common 🙂
My mom was at the pet store the other day and they had Kong Wubba’s there in these tiny little sizes…they looked like you should hang them from your car mirror. She said I definitely couldn’t have one of those cause who knows what I’d end up doing to it 🙂
Looking forward to checking out your new blog!
Newfie kisses!
