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.....:cool:

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 :)

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

Sorry for High jacking the thread guys.


WABaja - December 13th, 2005 at 05:14 AM

Damn it...!!! Now I want one....:starhit:


sneak_e - December 13th, 2005 at 02:20 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


WABaja - December 13th, 2005 at 04:34 PM

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

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 - December 15th, 2005 at 02:32 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. :D
