August.. I enjoyed your story. It brought back many memories for me. I own a 
Newfoundland, and had one previous to this one. Many times they are mistaken 
for Black Saint Bernards.

house, rather than protect the house, they are so friendly they would 
probably help the burglars carry the stuff out

My First Newfie was a slobberer. During the summer, we actually had to carry 
a slobber towel around with us. The latest one has a pretty dry mouth. but I 
DO! know how they can slobber! And it couldn't have happened to a nice lad, 
He deserved it. 8-) Have you ever seen the Beethoven movies or Turner and 
hooch? In hooch it was a little exaggerated, but sometimes it seems like they 
can slobber like that.
