Hey Sneak_e, did it take you 2 hours of saying, "ok, I'm going" before anyone would let you leave....????
We were watching that and laughing....
"Sneak_e still here"...??? "Yeah"....
Great shots Duuuude.....😎

LOL - more people asked me questions about my dog than anything else! Couldn't get away 🙂 I'm going to do up a promo flyer to hand out for Rumpole that has:
"Yes, he is big"
"Yes, he probably weighs more than you do"
"Yes, he is old"
"No, he doesn't eat as much as you think"
"Yes, it's Rumpole as in Rumpole of the Bailey" 🙂

Funnily enough quite a lot of people recognised him as a Newfoundland so I might be able to leave that part off - well done to the studious observers that picked him out 🙂

Cheers, Zak

And an excellent choice in animals too :thumb

I wanted to give him a Big cuddle...... But he was covered in spit and smelt like a lake....🙄

Nice one manx! Gotta love em!

Bringing mine across for a visit next year so will have to have a 'best vw pets' section at the Valla show or something 😉

VDUBXTC · 13 Dec 2005, 4:12 am

ok, your on for valla and the pet contest.

But which Newf do i bring?

Bongo, the black and white one?
or Tilli, the black one stiring bongo up?

or do i bring Nelson?

Or maybe buddy?

hehehehe.
Sorry, my folks run a rescue shelter for newfs, so we have a few 😀

Sorry for High jacking the thread guys.

WABaja · 13 Dec 2005, 5:14 am

Damn it...!!! Now I want one....😵

sneak_e · 13 Dec 2005, 2:20 pm

Rumpole was abandoned at age 5 which is where I got him from (Armadale Pound). I can't believe people can live with themselves by dumping defensless cats and dogs - humans astound me sometimes.

I didn't know Australia had a rescue shelter for Newfies? Where abouts is it? Website?

Bit of a tear jerker but a good story

Well I had to turn my speakers off, but that was nice...😁

Nice shots Brian.

It was good to meet Rumpole. I can see now why you drive a Kombi, it's about the only car you can fit Rumpole in!

That's awesome that you and your mum are involved in rehoming Newfs! You should be very proud!

What's the oldest one you've seen? Rumpole is 11 but our Vet thinks he's in remarkable health for his age. He's only got one hip and wobbles around a lot but otherwise he's spot on 😉

VDUBXTC · 15 Dec 2005, 2:32 am

Harvey was the oldest that i know of at 15.

Rumpole is doing extreamly well for 11.
most drop off around 7 to 9 years.

Looks like the old fella has had a trim recently too. 😀
