Newt is a boisterous and very playful guy. He loves playing fetch, but only with a ball. He refuses to bring sticks back if you throw them. He enjoys running too. If he could spend half his time playing and the other half laying on your lap, being lavished with attention, I think he'd be completely satisfied. He's a big boy but he doesn't seem to know it, or care. And he's as loving as he is big.
