Below are pictures and updates from Newman's new family in Gaithersburg, MD. Click here to see pictures of Newman during his first 8 weeks at Deepwood Acres. Pictured below at 5 years old     Pictured below at 4 years old Pictured below at 2.5 years old Pictured below at 8 months old at our 2008 Deepwood Reunion     Pictured below at 6 months old. Here are some pictures I took yesterday with my phone.  Newman had a play date with a 16 month old male Great Dane named Eli.  There is also one of Newman on the sofa (he sneaked on when I wasn't looking). At 7 months he is right around 130 lbs and now thinks our bed is his bed :)  He has a very nice bed right beside ours but I guess we aren't in it with him :)  The puppies all look great.  I can't tell you how many people want one after seeing Newman. We are looking forward to the next reunion.  Do you know when it is going to be this year? Talk to you soon Scott

Hi Sandy, Here are a couple pictures of Newman at the beach over Memorial Day weekend and a couple from his grandmothers house yesterday. We walked over to Petsmart on Tuesday night to weigh Newman and I thought the scale was broken.  It wasn't.  He weighs 90 lbs.  Naturally the next thing Katie and I did was purchase a ramp (max weight 400lbs) so we wouldn't have to pick him up anymore to get him in the SUV.  He was killing my back :)  He loves to go in the SUV so it was a must have for us. We are taking him down to southern Maryland this weekend to stay at Katie's families house right on the Potomac River.  Hopefully the water is a lot warmer than the ocean water was over Memorial Day weekend and Newman will go in for a swim with us. He graduated from basic dog class last Wednesday so now he is a perfect angel... almost :) Talk to you soon. Thanks - Scott

Hi Sandy,

We wanted to let you know Newman is doing great!  We have him in puppy class on Wednesday nights, we're in our fourth week and he's the envy of all of the other handlers.  They always ask us if he is always this well behaved and we answer, 99.9% of the time!  He's getting ready for his first big trip to the beach.  Everyone is excited.  We no longer need an alarm clock because Newman wakes us up bright and early at 7am every morning, we're hoping this is something he'll grow out of!  He is weighing in at 58 lbs and getting bigger every day.  People are always amazed when we tell them he is only a little over 15 weeks old.  We attached a couple of recent pictures.

We hope everything is going well and we'll keep you posted.

Katie & Scott

Hi Sandy,

Newman is doing great.  He has adjusted well to his new home.  He even likes his crate and only needs one potty break at night.  He sleeps in his crate beside our bed.  Everyone loves him.  The vet said he looks great as well.  The house training has been going really well.  We take him out a lot so he really doesn't have an opportunity to go in the house.  He seems to like the occasional car ride as well which is nice.  The last two days he has really upped the anty on the biting.  I think he feels completely at home now : )  He is relentless but we have lots of chew toys to try and divert his attention.  I think we are going to get a private session with a trainer next week and then he will start puppy class at 12 weeks of age.  I attached a few pictures of Newman below.

Thanks for everything and Happy Easter to you
