Beautiful dogs. Can't help you with the naming, but I hope your mastiff is more mellow around humans than mine is. ;)

They are wonderful members of the family! My sister had one and it was the biggest sook with her young kids and all of us, but that deep guttural growl used to freak everyone else out!

A bad dog to match the bad guy, perhaps? Try keeping it away from the single-malt in future, could make it more mellow! Or it just knows who not to trust, maybe? My sisters Mastiff had an amazing ability to read people from miles away! :eek:

Yeah my mate got Newfoundlands because of their nature and the fact they cant be walked too much as it is too much for them. Find a big lake mind you and then you better have a good book because they love to swim....... For hours! He has three at one point. At the same time, in a big but not huge house... When they pawed you for attention, it was like a left hook from a boxer.

As for the loophole, i have to be careful here as my brother in law got a support dog setup for his labradoodle when moving from NY to LA. He bought her business class seats and everything so she could fly with him rather than in a basket in the hold or have to drive cross country with her. So on the one hand, i am upset that he abused a rule but on the other hand Inwas impressed he went to such cost and effort to make sure his baby was safe.

She is amazing but she does this thing where she sneaks in next to you when you sleep, and sits up at your shoulder staring at you from a couple inches away. She is begging to play but as she has been trained to be quiet, she just sits for AGES staring at you with the begging eyes... She is wonderful. I am so happy to see Fenna (we agreed yeah?) And I am so looking forward to seeing if she keeps her muzzle colours. So that is your obligation to us now... We want to see puppy pictures and action shots. Already she has fans around the world, like your camera group have. So mucho pictures my friend....

I adore Newfoundlands; lovely dogs, with sweet temperaments.

Thanks @MacRy . There will definitely be plenty of visuals and updates shared along the way with you all.





Thank you @Scepticalscribe ! I have ended up going with Fenna, as I see myself as my own champion, especially with all the advocacy work I do, and my recently becoming a peer ambassador for a national mental health organisation here in Oz.



As Ken said above, "yep." One and the same, Adam.

Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to the updates. All of the names were (and are) lovely, so have a great time and a wonderful life with Fenna.

Well i know there isn't an option for this but he looks like a guy i know who's surname is Morgan. So that would be my choice. (i think there was a character in Dexter who had the name Morgan too)

Plus it's German for 'morning', so you can use my old school joke and say "Morgan Morgan" to Morgan every morning. Could be a good ice-breaker when you meet hot chicks that want to stroke your puppy

Three would have been amazing to see together, a true pack!


That would freak me out, waking to her only inches away staring at you. I used to have an ex that did that, I'd wake in the middle of the night and she would be staring at me from maybe a foot away. Use to really freak me out, cause I'd wake up thinking someone was there, and there was. It was a bit spooky really! :eek:

Thank you @sartrekid ! I feel truly blessed to be able to have her in my life.

Yeah but an ex that does that is just freaky! I mean who watches people when they are asleep? the dog doing it is fine apart from when she drools on you! tee hee...

Three was a bloody nightmare mate! each one is the size of a small bear and they wanted to be in the room with you the whole time. My mate's study was tiny. Basically big enough for a desk and a chair and not much else then the three kings would come in (Samson, Solomon and i forget the other S...) and lie down taking up ALL the room. You had to climb over them to get to the loo! pests! thing is, if you fell over trying to get past them, they always thought you were playing and then a ruckus would kick off and play fighting with one of them was a tough gig never mind three of them! - can you tell I loved it really :)

I remember my daughter getting out of bed and watching me sleep. She gave me such a fright when I awoke I yelled out. She cried.

You're funny! :D
  1. He's a she!
  2. I'm married, and very happily!
  3. She now has a name, "Fenna," meaning Guardian of Peace.
But thanks for the comedy relief!

Have been joking with the missus that eventually it's going to get confusing knowing which of them is on which side of me when I sleep, especially when they are both snoring at the same time!

The poor girl, that would have really startled her. I know that our friends Autistic son is very easily startled by sudden loud noises.

She used to cry when I sneezed as a toddler. She was a very gentle little soul. Not really sure when that all changed.
