Yeah That sounds about right! 8-) I once had a doberman too. It was funny and 
probably you had to be there, but when we had to give our other Newfie a pill 
for medication. You had to struggle with the newfie or trick him into taking 
it. Well there were time he'd somehow avoid getting it down and would spit it 
out. I'd swear before it hit the ground, the Doberman pu would scarf it up. 
heheheh he just did not care what it was. If it went into the big guys mouth, 
it must be food 8-). I don't know how many times we had to purchase meds 
twice due to a sly newf and a fast puppy who wanted to eat everything.

OHHH Yeah! When they are Teething? They are amazing. They can eat anything 
and everything, and do! We called our first Newf an excavator. We had planted 
8 fruit trees in the back yard and they were about two years old. He was a 
teething pup that spring and leveled the whole back yard of any semblance of 
foliage, except the 20 year old Maples  He probably tried those too. 
But they withstood him
