whats on my mind tonight is how much i love my old dog, Story. Like all newfs, she is very sweet and loving. But unlike other newfs I had, she didnt come like that. She had no emotional attachment with humans. She was a kennel dog and a breeding dog. She had all her needs met and was well taken care of but she had no bonding sense. I have had her about 7 years now. And every year she has grown to become more and more devoted to me. Her heart has grown. I know this is going to sound silly, but she had no sense of self esteem when I first got her. She would lower her head and her back would bough in total submission. Now, she climbs into my arms and buries her head into me, wanting that affection. I am so glad she gets to enjoy human love before she passes on....
