In which Newton grows a pair.....


Let me just start by saying how proud I am of my boy Newton! He has always been a little social butterfly but after the initial greeting he can be a little standoff-ish. He is always super excited to meet other dogs, people, kids, ect... but then he proceeds to sniff around by himself. Newt especially loves trips to the dog park! He has his normal routine of greeting all the dogs, peeing everywhere until he runs dry, then ignoring all the other dogs while he sniffs every inch of the park. Recently however, some other pooches have taken a liking to Newton and have inevitably showed their affection/dominance in the way that dogs do. Well, I am here to say that he has had enough. Newton is no longer available for free humps, he is fighting back. P and I were so proud to see our boy standing up for himself at the dog park this past week and then again at my folks house this weekend.

In the videos below you will see Newton, Eli (black lab), and Angel (jack russell/terrier mix, ie DEVIL DOG) having a good 'ole time. Angel is the incessant instigator that has a thing for Newton, and Eli is the gentle giant that also acts as the regulator of the fights. Normally, Newton would just sit there and take the abuse, or try to hop into P's lap, or take a hump from Eli, but this past weekend he made mom and dad proud.
CRAP-- Am I really that retarded I cannot post a video!? Help B!
