Ribosaurrus rex is crazy😂
"I'm walking my ribbosaurus rex so I cant come to work!"

[lyslegrande]

He’s just a Short Rib for now🥺 so precious.

[TheFamousEggOfficial]

Welcome to the channel, ribbosaurus rex ! :)

[yoongistongue]

Doggos do have that instinct to take care of their little ones, that comes from their pack nature. It's absolutely the cutest

[Ariel_Waters]

OMG, I love how Bear is at your heels the whole time you're carrying Rib. It's like he's saying, "What are you doing with my little brother??"

[spaceboy]

“I was normal two Newfoundland’s ago”
You’re such a father and it’s wonderful

[danielleking]

I really didn't grasp how big this dang puppy was until Dr. Mike was bringing him out to the pool. Holy cow. 😅

As a 🇨🇦from NF, our Newfoundlanders have historically been water rescue dogs. They go out on the fishing trollers with the lads.
Growing up next to big water, these gentle giants have saved many a people, adult and child.
❤that you rep the breed

[lisa_vxng]

My only thought here is that you now need a pillow to match Rib because you already have one that matches Bear on that couch

[fleridanfox]

one sign of non-aggressive play I always look out for is occasional sneezing. sneezing during play is generally a sign of no hard feelings and just having fun. if there’s ever a problem in play they’ll let each other know for sure

This is the perfect thing to keep Bear younger and help keep his joints healthy with activity and his mind happy, Bears gonna have a blast teaching RIB how to be an Amazing Lil brothe

[takata]

I can't imagine having two huge dogs around the house! (anymore, I used to have golden retrievers). I'm sure Bear will enjoy having RIB for companionship. I smile when I hear you call Bear, because I live near a long beautiful linear park which happens to pass a local bar. One night I was in the bar and a gentleman more for the merry said good night and went on his way home. Moments later he was back in the bar white as a sheet, you forgot something he was asked? I'm not going out there for a while... "There is a woman walking a big black bear on a leash!" Despite our laughs and reassurances he was unconvinced it was fine, he wouldn't accept it was a Newfoundland and perfectly safe. He gave it time and went on his way after a while! I mentioned to the experience one day to the owner, she laughed and said because her dog was so big and rare locally it wasn't the first time she had been told he looked like a bear especially by children.

Why are they so majestic 🥹


*poops on the carpet * Also rib and bear are adorable

[gilajacobs-chrw]

Any dog that goes to Dr. Mike is extremely lucky. They get a nice home, exercise, they get properly trained, such a lucky little puppy to find you. 😊

"They fight all the time"
When I got a new puppy, my older female was SO crotchety. She'd get up, snarl at her, push her down with her paw--but they're inseparable. Dogs communicate differently than us, and so long as blood isn't being drawn, they're totally fine together. A lot of people thing the 'dog boundary' barking and growling is scary but it's not.

[happyknitstitches]

What an adorable floof! Rib is so cute! Bear is gonna love him 🤎🤎

[catherinecran]

7:41 I love how the first thing you taught him in the pool was where the stairs were. Most people think dogs are great swimmers and don’t have to worry, but it’s not uncommon for dogs to swim until exhausted because they don’t know how to get out of the pool. A+++ 🙌🏼

[bella-mccord]

Welcome, little Riblet! He's so cute. 🖤
One of my dogs passed unexpectedly this week so seeing a cute little puppy helps ease the sadness a bit. Give themboth a big cuddle and kiss from me!

[guinnevereschronicles]

He looks bigger than Bear when he was a pup, welcome to the family Ribwitch😍😍😍

[laiqa_]

Aww it's lovely how calm and accepting Bear was! ❤
