Wow 5 months he's so scrummy!!! I love coco being 10 weeks but i cannot wait until she hits the 5/6month mark already! He's honestly so lovely! How's training coming along? Coco is so hard to train I've had DDBs but the youngest I've has is 9months so I forgot how hard puppies were haha!

He is pretty good as far as training goes. We are having a few issues with leash training still because he has just gotten to the point where he wants some independence and knows he is strong so he tries to pull me around while he tries so sniff everything so we are working on it lol

They are slobbery hairy balls of happiness, they are very routine and adore people they are protective of us and each other, they always want to be with us as we want with them, their my baby's.
I love the unconditional love they give and the understanding they have when we talk to them, the pure joy they bring to our hearts daily is golden, they have totally taken over but are also completely respectful and eager to please, they are our best friends with beautiful natures and a wicked sense of humour like their human brothers, they complete our family in more ways than one....the list goes on and on lol

Yeah I hear you! It's actually quite hard at the moment, she just doesn't seem to listen to me at all and she's quite moody haha but since we've been using the crate properly she's really doing well with housebreaking!!!

So I am on my 4th Bullmastiff and what I love/loved about each one is so different. Vader, our first, was truely my dog. I walked him, and he just was a great ambassador being able to get along with all, human and otherwise. I was crushed when we lost him-but he was almost 11. Can't complain.
Koloff and Cayenne were sibling that were in love with my hubby as he stays home more than me(self employed). Cayenne was alpha and you had better make it worth her while to deal with you. She had you on your P' and Qs and earning her respect. Great girl. Her brother, Koloff, was a complete baby and after she died at 3 yo, was left to find his way and REALLY latched onto my hubby. They walked the same, snored the same and had the exact same energy level. Fearcely protective over me so that when we walked him, he would be upset if I spoke to or went into a neighbors house. He knew of course I could not defend myself. That dog was our life-especially my hubby. When he died last August, I though I would have to cremate my hubby too.
Now we have lil Brodie-9 month old girly who has latched on to me and is truely my little girl. Since my hubby has been sick since Feb ultimately losing his leg in May, it has been only us for weeks at a time. She is most cute in the morning getting out of her crate and doing all kinds of highjinks at 430 am. She is brindle so when she smiles, the room lights up and she just laughs and laughs in the morning. Rolls around on the floor as I cook breakfast, then hops on the couch as I get ready. I lean over her and she just reaches open her little arm and just literally pulls me into her.....oh,oh....I am getting choked up. Gotta go........

Angus (middle picture) - I love that he's such a momma's boy. I love the way when he's sitting on the couch, he'll suddenly throw himself on me all dramatically for some lovin'. He's protective of me and is always at my side. He spoons with me in bed. He's curious and has a zest for life. I love the way he will just stare at me, with his nose almost touching mine. When I ask him, "What?" he will give me the tiniest kiss using only the tip of his tongue. I love the way, when he's feeling feisty, he will reach out and grab my finger, or sometimes my ear/the arm of my glasses and nibble so gently that I can hardly even feel it.

Thalia (first picture) - This is a dog with a personality. She's never had an off-button and I don't think she'll ever develop one. She LOVES life and I love and appreciate that about her. I love how she wags her tail so hard that her entire body wiggles. I love her giant, silly smile (everyone we meet comments on how smiley and happy she looks). I love how she gets so happy and excited that she doesn't seem to know what to do with herself... she starts jumping in circles, wiggling, running through the house not barking, but going "woo woo wooooo", she drops to the floor and starts rolling on her back kicking her legs around. I love the way when we're sitting together, she'll throw her head back so that she can get a kiss on the forehead. I love that despite her sunny disposition and small stature (32.5 lbs), she is the toughest little bitch I have ever seen! That girl has gotten herself into some sticky situations and always made it out okay. I love that she's got such a high drive, too. She is a hunter through and through and hunts rabbits in our yard as her own personal hobby.

Cache (middle picture) - I don't even know what to say about this dog. She is a poppa's girl. She's my fianc*'s little spoon and I love how happy she makes him. She loves life and doesn't take anything too seriously (she even thinks being disciplined is a joke). I just love how goofy she is... She's very gassy and often startles herself awake with a good fart. She then starts looking around the room shocked as if she doesn't know where the sound came from. We call her "stinky" and I love that she responds to her nickname and almost seems to take pride in how stinky she can be. I love how driven she is to make us happy. I love that despite her awful upbringing, she is always just a ray of sunshine. I love how sensitive she can be. When she's done something wrong, we come home to find her hiding in her crate, not even attempting to pass the blame off on Angus. She just gives herself away.

I put Kryten in earlier but here's for Jiggers. It's the look on his face when you can see him calculating just how much trouble he will get into for doing something he shouldn't and wether the reward will be worth it anyway. And the fact that he is Mr Smiley and even when he tried to look depressed and hard done by the smile is almost there anyway.

Your stories have me in stitches especially the farting bit we have a staff who literally looks at ME never hubby but ME in absolute disgust when he farts as if I'm the culprit all the time, it has me in stitches! I love that you have 3 doggies and they're all so unique and so characteristic!!!! What a wonderful household you must have!!! Love love love it!!

Bailey's Mom

Bailey, Princess of Love, fur-soul-child, heart of my heart. This once tiny Mastiff, now well over 100 lbs has us in thrall. We are mesmerized by her childlike fascination with the world...every bud, every flower...EVERY BIRD. "Oh My Goodness, Birdies, Mommy!" "No, Baby, we love Birdies!" "But, Mommy..." "No buts, Bailey, Birdies are protected." "No Fair!"

We're in our 'Stranger Danger' Mode right now, so our happy-go-lucky puppy isn't so party hardy as she used to be. Now, it's protect Mommy, protect the house. Big Dog on Deck...Woof! Last week she went nuts, let her out late at night and she worked the fence up and down, didn't know until after work the next day that someone had climbed up on our fence and tried to rip the satellite dish down. Note: They didn't come in the yard...Sign Works, somewhat.
Other than her guardian duties, she's a gigantic suck, the big bed is her desire, and she sulks and pouts and shows such sad eyes when we tell her it's time for 'Baby Bed'. She looks back and forth at us hoping to be granted a reprieve, but sadly, slowly descends and casts a loveless look back at us..."Are you sure?"....Ah!!! It's pathetic! These Mastiffs can melt your heart.
It's the giddy-up gallop when we give her the new toy and she jumps and leaps with joy. It's the nose in the shopping bags, the intense interest when I'm telling her my tale of woe, the understanding paw and heartfelt lick: "I'm here, Mommy." It's the tail that wags insanely whether I'm gone five minutes or five hours. My girl lights up my morning, my day, my night.
My husband complains, sometimes, "Bailey loves you more than me. She doesn't care about her Daddy." Then, she melts his heart, climbs up in the big bed, snuggles into his neck and places an ownership paw on his chest. "My Daddy."
She's the child we never had, she's magic!IMG_00000317.jpg Who Loves Her Daddy?

We spend a lot of time laughing with our dogs. They are comedians. It's totally good for the soul.

LOL, that's hysterical that your dog blames you for his farts! Too funny!

What I love about my little Sacci:
1. She does the hopping thing, too, when she gets excited. My daughters say she looks like a bunny!2. She loves to rub the side if her muzzle against my face. It's so sweet!
3. When she gets sleepy, she sits close enough to touch me and waits for me to give her permission to crawl in my lap. She snuggles up and goes to sleep. I think I will miss that the most when she gets too big for my lap!
4. She's just so durn cute!
