The only thing you have to watch out with @eldubb440's boy Rebel is him hitting your legs as he wants attention, the boy is SOLID!!! Rebel is a true gentle giant. He also chews all sticks and twigs saving on yard work.
Preseason training in this heat sucks!

soooo......
I couldn't post here for a few days in fear of jinxing the outcome. On Thursday, Rebel started blowing water (foul, nasty, ****) out his ***, and it continued through the night, by Friday morning I thought I was gonna lose him. He was refusing water and looking real bad, and the scramble to get him to the vet is on. They hooked him up with 2 big IV bags to hydrate him, His body sucked it up like a sponge. He also recieved some kind of shot. Like a wilted plant, the boy perked up and slowly made it back to normal.
we got him to eat, and drink; he was acting like his old self, but I was waiting for him to take a normal dump before declaring victory. well, 15 minutes ago he took a perfect ****; and I didn't have to wipe his *** ( I did at least 20 times) WIN! ...... he's only 5, I was not going to accept the alternative.
**** YEAH
oh, he weighed in at 141, before the IV bags

Did they know what he had?
He's young and strong obviously... but I have never heard of anything like this. Especially with a strong guy like him.

I was thinking about how dogs eat. At least how big dogs eat. The Newfoundlands are monsters. A cheeseburger that might take a human a few minutes to eat is gone in 4 seconds. They don't really chew it's more like watching a shark eat. It just goes down in glups. I make the staff at McDonalds laugh when I bring them through the drive-through for ice cream cones. I get the small cones but the ice cream is sticking put about 4" from the top. I hold the cone sideways and it's one bite. They eat two big bowls of dry food a day with the evening batch mixed with wet food. They are 160 and 165 pounds each. The female, Little Bear won't eat lunch meat. I will give her a sandwich and she somehow eats it without eating the processed meat which she spits out. (It makes me think humans shouldn't eat processed meat either.) The other thing she does is with a donut or a bagel. It's too wide and sticky for her to gulp down and she doesn't want to drop it so Diesel the other Newf can get it. So she walks around with it in her mouth. I have to pry it out and tear it up for her. This is not my Newfoundland but it illustrates their size.
They are considered "Nanny Dogs" because of their gentleness with children. The Newfoundland in Peter Pan is called Nana.
Notice the Yorkie has to have its leash pulled tight. The Newf just sits there. They are nicknamed "Gentle Giants."
Don't leave anything on the kitchen counter. That one is small, some can reach the top of the refrigerator.
Their main forte is water rescue. They are great swimmers. The water drains from their droopy lips, they have a double-thick water-resistant coat they swim using the breaststroke not the dog paddle. The fishermen in Newfoundland used them to drag in the nets.
