John and I ate lunch at an outdoor cafe yesterday and an awesome, beautiful family of parents, 3 kids, 1 baby Maltese and a one year old Newfie sat beside us! The Newfie had just emerged from a nearby creek so not only did I get soaked (I had to give hugs) but slobbered on too! Then I ate lunch!!!
The father ordered a bowl of meatballs for the Newfie, whose head rested right on the table with ease! The parents were great with the kids and Maltese but the dad kept kissing the Newfie, a sight I hadn't seen in a long time. I thought it more a girl thing, but this guy was loving on this dog. No other patrons complained, in fact the Newfie was a topic of conversation and everyone was walking over to it. It was so much fun. I was in dog heaven! I love Newfies!
