We have a Newfie and found that in order to have a Newfie, we had to have a very BIG car…..it was that or a small horse trailer for our family beach trips to Ocean Shores, WA. Do you find that your pet is dictating what you buy and where you live?
I recently helped a client who wanted to move into a bigger home so that their doggie friend could have a little more space to run around in. I actually have run into this quite a bit!
Our latest Newfie is only a puppy so she is still in the running around very active phase, but we know from our previous Newfoundland experience that this will change a bit. The fact is that our last beloved Newfie Georgianna calmed down considerably as she got a bit older. I still remember how much she changed our life, though, and the things we had to do to “Georgie-proof” our living spaces.
Reinforced gates and extra fencing are a bare minimum, but then there is also the protection for the bamboo floors, etc., and don’t even get me started on my backyard landscaping!!!
Sometimes it really is easier just to buy a new house!!!
