During the years we were waiting for Natalie I spent a lot of time training Katie and Louie. One of the things I trained them to do is to pull kids around in their little red wagon. Last weekend we finally we got to take our own daughter for a ride. It was so much fun. I think Katie had the best time of all; her tail was wagging almost the whole time.
Let's get this show on the road!
Louie gets a turn at pulling the wagon.
It's so wonderful to see a dream we visualized for so long become reality.
Ohh, siete meravigliose tutte e 3 !!!! Grandi foto... questi sono attimi che rimarrannoimpressi per tutta la vita :)) Amo il tuo blog. Gary sei fantastico con tua figlia !!! Baci ed abbracci :))) Myriam
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Here is a translation of Myriam's comment so Gary can read it too:
all 3 are wonderful!! Great photos ... these are moments that will remain impressed for life :)) I love your blog. Gary is great with your daughter! Kisses and hugs :)))
I know that Miss Stella wants to draft like this as she always has to have something in her mouth when we go for a walk. Newfs love to have 'work' to do. Katie is such an inspiratiion and Natalie looks like she adores her pups. Looks like she is settling in beautifully. : )
These are such beautiful pictures. What a wonderful family you all are. Natalie gets even more beautiful every time I see your blog updates. Amazing what inborn beauty and loving parents(and newfs) can do for a kid!! She looks so happy. I have to get one of those carts for our newf. By the way, Katie and Louie inspired me to get Bella Bear tested by TDI. She passed with flying colors. The evaluator said she was "born to do this kind of work" Our daughter Emily has pretty much trained Bella Bear since the moment we adopted her from the newf rescue. Can't wait to share the newfie love!! Congrats to all of you again for finally bringing home your gorgeous little girl! Sharon

"Welcome home to the Happy Haus" is the greeting I used to receive from Gary when we arrived home from work each day. Gary and I brought our daughter Natalie home from China in November 2011 to live with us in our cozy cottage. In October of 2013, we unexpectedly lost Gary, our dear husband, father and friend.
Our family includes our two sweet Newfoundland dogs, Katie and Louie. Newfoundlands are working dogs, so we make sure our two always have a job to do. Katie and Louie are both certified therapy dogs and bring lots of joy to people who are in need of some Newfie love. They have also competed in Rally Obedience. Katie has earned a Rally Advanced title and Louie has earned a Rally Excellent title. In keeping with Newf tradition, Katie has become a proficient draft dog while Louie prefers practicing water rescue whenever he gets an opportunity. They are also both protectors of their little sister, Natalie.

Great pictures of your Newfies pulling the cart! Hugs to your big dogs, Karen @ collars for dogs
Love everything about this. :)
That's one thing I love about the Newfoundlad breed, they're good for kids. And I believe, both of them are enjoying the ride.
I love your doggies! And your little girl looks so much like our Emma.
