I Got A NEW Puppy!

Welcome to the channel, ribbosaurus rex ! :)

He’s just a Short Rib for now🥺 so precious.

7:41 I love how the first thing you taught him in the pool was where the stairs were. Most people think dogs are great swimmers and don’t have to worry, but it’s not uncommon for dogs to swim until exhausted because they don’t know how to get out of the pool. A+++ 🙌

Being in vetmed, I think it’s beautiful when people, after going for a common name, take a HARD right turn for their next pet and suddenly pick something very unique. Rib! I love it. And no shame to Bear, that’s a classic!

Ribosaurrus rex is crazy😂 "I'm walking my ribbosaurus rex so I cant come to work!"

My only thought here is that you now need a pillow to match Rib because you already have one that matches Bear on that couch

Double the cute, double the floof! What an adorable little Newf! Welcome to the family, Rib!

Some things that new puppy owners tend to forget to do during training is to muzzle train and get them used to all sorts of different stimuli, that way they won't be scared of it in the future. Bring him to the vet for a 'fun visit' where the staff just play with and feed him treats so its not a scary place to go all the time. have him wear a harness or a cone for a few hours to get used to (so he doesn't rip it off when he gets neutered) and give lots of treats and chew toys so it's a positive experience. Give him a 'physical exam' often so that when the vet tries to pick up his paws and press on his belly or pick up his tail, he won't be irritated or wary. have strangers (your friends) interact with him in weird ways and play thunderstorm noises or vacuum. Just introduce him to anything at all that he'll need to be introduced to in the future so he learns that it's all safe. Don't have him interact with other dogs just yet because he might not be fully vaccinated, but just. have him learn that no matter what, he's safe with you and safe with people.

OMG, I love how Bear is at your heels the whole time you're carrying Rib. It's like he's saying, "What are you doing with my little brother??"

I really didn't grasp how big this dang puppy was until Dr. Mike was bringing him out to the pool. Holy cow. 😅

4:20 aww his little kicky legs are adorableeeee

Foxes are naturally curious and friendly. I live in a small rural town and we used to have a few roam our streets at night. I can't imagine foxes ever posing a threat to any animal over 15 lbs. I don't know what happened to ours but I miss them. Coyotes are a completely different matter. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.

Why are they so majestic 🥹 *poops on the carpet * Also rib and bear are adorable

Just as a heads-up from a dog groomer, Rib will be prone to a condition called dilution alopecia due to the color of his coat. In my experience, dilute colored coats are also a lot higher maintenance. The fur tends to be finer and wooly, causing it to mat easy and not shed as well by itself. Gray is a registerable color, but gray and white is not. The best thing to do in that situation is see what the stance of the breed club is, or if another kennel club (like UKC) allows it. If no breed or kennel club allows the color, then unfortunately the only way to obtain it is from unethical breeders (if you don't rescue). But like for example, AKC doesn't allow multicolored poodles for literally no reason, but the entire poodle community and every other kennel club is fine with them (besides merle), so you can find many responsibly bred multicolored poodles.

“I was normal two Newfoundland’s ago” You’re such a father and it’s wonderful

one sign of non-aggressive play I always look out for is occasional sneezing. sneezing during play is generally a sign of no hard feelings and just having fun. if there’s ever a problem in play they’ll let each other know for sure

"They fight all the time" When I got a new puppy, my older female was SO crotchety. She'd get up, snarl at her, push her down with her paw--but they're inseparable. Dogs communicate differently than us, and so long as blood isn't being drawn, they're totally fine together. A lot of people thing the 'dog boundary' barking and growling is scary but it's not.

This breed is from where I was born. I’m from Newfoundland Canada…now living in Ontario, Canada. These dogs are the best loyal breeds and are very protective yet gentle. Especially with children!

After my Mom passed, I was in charge of her older boxer. who seemed lost and depressed. But she was getting up there in years. I decided to get a lab puppy (for me, primarily). The puppy perked mom's boxer up so much I couldn't believe it! The puppy soon belonged to her. It was an incredible improvement for the older boxer. She would often put the lab in her place when she got annoying but she was never mean, just assertive. It was fun to watch. Your dogs are incredible! Bear and Rib are so lucky to have each other, and I know you're thrilled with this wonderful pair! Congratulations on your new family member! All best wishes!

Looks like a turkey vulture. Those guys are the clean up crew. They won't harm Rib. He's a cutie!
