Buddy is doing so well. He and Nicholas play here by the hour and then they crash on the couch! They both love the snow and are on the invisible fence so they have 1.25 acres to run on, chasing squirrels etc.. I have them on video playing in the yard but I don't seem to be able to send it. I caught Buddy yesterday licking Nicholas' face while Nicholas was sleeping, wish I had a picture of that!
Buddy's been up to the dog park several times and plays really well with the other dogs. On Monday there was a huge 4 year old Newfoundland female there that he really liked! Ran and played like crazy.They both went to the vet this week to have their nails clipped and get weighed. Buddy now weighs 86.6 lbs. or 39.6 kg. They are the same height now but Nicholas only weighs 66.5 lbs. or 30.5 kg.
I find it difficult to get good photos of the two of them together
because they move around so much. I'll find a few to send you but
they won't be great. Buddy thinks he's a lap dog and sits on my
husband's knee on the couch, I'll send one of those photos too.
One of my clients gave them both beautiful winter sweaters for the
cold, not that they need them with these big coats, but they do wear
them if it's really cold or in heavy snow it keeps them dry. They
seem to like wearing them and they stay in place well.
Update June '13 Buddy is a heck of a swimmer! We have them to this beach every weekend, he loves it. I can't tell you how much we love this big dog! He fit so beautifully into our family you would think we always had him.
Buddy & Nicholas now 1 year old!
Update September '13 Hope all is well. Buddy was to the vet last week for a check up. He's 121 lbs now, 15 months old, perfect health. Nicholas is 21 months now.
What a good boy! Buddy just finished a swim in the ocean & he watched our 2 year old neighbor eat cookies for 20 minutes on the beach. Never went any closer than this, just watched.
Update January '15
Buddy is such a beautiful dog, so loving and gentle. He and Nicholas
are best friends and are never apart. Picture
Our vet believes he is Newfoundland not Bernese because of his size and he is such a great swimmer! Do you think he could be a combination of the two? He is 165 pounds now.
Buddy is a fantastic swimmer. We take him to the cottage every weekend in the summer and he swims twice a day. Just loves the water! Floats like a boat.
He also loves to drive in the car. I have never seen such an affectionate dog. We are so lucky that we found him!
All
the Best to You
