Puppies fall in love with the weirdest things, and there’s nothing you can do about it. The only thing you can do is support them, and as long as it’s not harmful, who cares? My dog was in love with drywall (specifically, eating it).

For one not-so-little Newfoundland puppy, his first great love has turned out to be a fan. He loves sitting in front of it, and he’s turned into a very easy, breezy, beautiful boy:

Copper the Newfoundland is only about 9 weeks old, and he’s already huge. His family has known about him from the moment he was born, and they had to wait the whole time before they could take him home! He went home to several human siblings and a whole lot of love.

He doesn’t care, though. The only thing he really seems to care about is his fan. He cared so much, in fact, that his mom said his first errand was actually to Home Depot to get one.

Copper is the only dog in his house, and his human siblings are so in love with him! He’s definitely in for the good life! His mom said her kids told her it was “Newfie or nothing,” which is a philosophy I might need to adopt. They even got to meet his parents:

Are those dogs or tiny bears? I’m not sure, but I love all of them just the same.

Desensitizing a Newfoundland Puppy

Desensitization is important for any puppy, but it’s especially vital for giant breeds like the Newfoundland. When they get spooked by something, it can be legitimately dangerous.

Luckily, desensitizing a puppy is relatively easy, and it can start pretty much as soon as they get home. Some common tips include:

• Running the vacuum cleaner.

• Touching their paws and claws often (to make nail trims easier).

• Putting them in front of a fan or a blow dryer on the cool setting (Newfies will need to be blow-dried after their baths).

It definitely seems like Copper will have the time of his life at the groomer from now on. I can’t wait to see it!
