Black Newf, Spike, on the couch wrapped with a towel because its snowing and he's damp. He's loving every minute because my youngest daughter is visiting and he loves being her baby.

Everyone in the family loves all the dogs. But sometimes you develop a closer relationship with certain pack members. My youngest and Spike are good buds. If she could hold him and rock him, he'd let her. 🤣

Photo of seated Newfoundland dog. It is from his right side and he has turned his head to look at the camera.

Happy birthday to our big boi, Spike! 5 years of #GoofyNewfie nonsense.

Photo of TV cabinet with TV showing a soccer game. Most of the photo is the face of a Newfoundland dog's head staring at you.

Spike likes watching TV with me sometimes. But he's still figuring out that I'd also like to watch the game. 😆

Newfoundland with head out window at a coffee drive thru. POV is driver window looking at back, left side, window

If Spike could order at the drive thru, "Hi, can I get a baby rabbit latte with goat milk and salmon cold foam? Oh, make it iced!"

Black Newfoundland dog on a crushed gravel trail. POV he is in front of you and looking to his left. Something caught his attention.

Selfie of Newfoundland dog in back seat and watching the road. Tongue hanging out.

Took Spike for a walk with my youngest adult child. He was in his element.
So many smells, so much to see. Saw a snake, a bird watcher, other hikers. He was very happy. And that makes us happy.

Sunday morning walk. Gave Buffy and Spike the solo treatment. They love it.
Have a great day.

Black Newfoundland dog laying on carpet on second floor, spying on neighbors yard through our second floor hallway area windows. Terrible sentence structure. Sorry.

Spike found he can spy on the neighbor dogs, while they are in their yard, from our little "balcony" area upstairs. He takes this very seriously.

Getting some heavy rain and wind soon and Spike does not appreciate being rushed by the weather.

Black Newfoundland dog sitting straight up, tongue hanging, because he ate another bunny nest.

Spike had a successful patrol. He took out another bunny nest. He says they are planted by #WolframAndHeart .

Spike, right before he tried peeing on the corner of the grill.
He's licking his snout because he had just had his face in the drip pan.

Spike the Newf, sleeping in the laundry room near the kitchen. Buffy the Bernese, sleeping in the laundry room in front of the door to the garage.

When I decided to get something out of the garage but found the path blocked by 225 lbs of dog. 🤔

I'll check later. 😆

Photo of Spike the Newf staring out the Jeep windscreen making sure we're on the right route. He's in the back between the front seats.

Photo of my sweatshirt shoulder, with a rope of white Newfie drool.

Took Spike for his annual physical and vaccinations.
He knows the way and was supervising.
Also, my sweatshirt was a casualty for this visit. 🙄
Life with a Newf.

Newfoundland dog with head sticking out of the backdoor window of a Wrangler. The back, side, window has a white sticker of a Newfie with Spike in white lettering underneath. I was picking up coffee at Dark Matter coffee

Spike, Newfoundland dog, looking into Philz coffee, while the mistress of the house picks up the coffee and croissants. He is under the yellow patio canopy. Currently, the space is empty due to the January weather.

It was Spike's time for the coffee and croissant run.

My eldest is going back to school.
Spike is pouting and sad.
He's whining very softly.
We're all a little anxious. The school is within the fire watch zones in California. Not near the current fires but stil...Thank goodness for #WatchDuty

Buffy the Bernese mountain dog and Spike the Newfoundland dog laying on the floor together watching me cook pancakes and hoping for some.

Gave the dogs some egg nog/pumpkin pancakes for coming when called.
Now Buffy and Spike won't stop watching me make more pancakes. 😆
They always get the first one.

Spike the Newf absolutely in crazy mode, running through the snow.

Oz the Berner running through the snow while carrying a rope toy.

Newfie curled up on the chair.

Black Newf curled up on a grey leather chair, chin on the armrest.

Spike has a new bedtime routine.
He's taken to getting in a chair. He doesn't stay there all night but he's never done this before. I think its because of the coming winter.

Being stared at by a black Newfoundland dog because he wasn't allowed to lick dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Oh the dogmanity!

Spike stared at me after I did not let him "pre-wash" the dishes going into the dishwasher.

The great thing about freezing winter temps in the Great Lakes, Newfie drool solidifies. 😁

Buffy the Bernese mountain dog on the left laying on patio. Spike the Newf on the right on the top step of the patio. Both keeping watch for invading squirrels....I mean demons, evil vamps and any other monsters of the week.

Buffy, left, Spike, on right, on yard watch.
Its their time of the year. Nice and cool.
Buffy has been feisty today.

Black Newfoundland dog laying on top step of patio, watching the yard at 10:45 pm.

Took the pack out one more time, for the evening. Spike did his business and casually took up yard watch. He has declined to come inside. I won't leave him out all night, not because it's cold but because he'll bark at stuff. 😆

Back of the head of a Newfoundland dog who's staring at a turtle in the road.

Close up or snapping turtle in the road.

Spike had an eventful morning walk. First, he barked at two middle schoolers who were play fighting/flirting. He tried breaking it up and glared after barking. Then he met a snapper that we rescued from the street.

Spike the Newf, sitting and anticipating a pumpkin muffin. He is drooling and has a drool bubble on the left side of his mouth.

Spike the Newf with his head out the back window of a Wrangler as we drive down a Chicago street.

It was Spike's turn to go to the city.
He got a pumpkin muffin too!
He loves traveling and loves Chicago. He's a working breed but he's very social and always ready to travel; especially if food is involved.

Black Newfoundland dog, Spike, on the lawn searching out rabbit poop. He's looking up after being called.

Spike, a Newfoundland dog, looking up, taking a break from searching for rabbit poop to eat. So gross.
My daughter likes to say he's a giant tardigrade.
