    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

What we love about our fur children :)

What I love about my little Sacci:

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!

She will never get too big for your lap in her mind. Daisy is 165 and she still climbs in my lap. I would suggest if you don't want a big lap dog teach her to lie on the couch and put her head in your lap.... other wise you will wind up with the butt end all the time. Don't ask me how I know! LOL

One of the things I love about Goober/Daisy is when she sees me from across the room, her ears go back and she comes running. It is the cutest thing ever. :)

I love the picture of the puppy in your lap. That will be me and Sacci in a few months!

Our new guy is exhibiting a level of confidence and geniality that we didn't see with Chance at the same age (8-9 weeks).

I've been going about with a pocket full of treats to distribute to people who approach to meet the pup- but haven't had many opportunities to use them.

Royce moves in for pats and kisses before I get them out.

I sincerely hope I'm not tempting the fates by mentioning this... that'd be sure to turn him into a Cujo.

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!

Hahaha that's cocos nickname we call her bunny as she's forever hopping everywhere!!! That's so cute coco loves sitting on my lap but I think it's more of a power trip than to be affectionate as she feels she gets one up on my staff until he too sits in my lap and completely squashes her hahaha! She is stinking cute! She'll forever be a lap dog haha just maybe not as small!!!

Hahaha touch wood he doesn't turn into a cujo!! I like the treat idea and strangers, although coco really dislikes anyone outside of the house but I think it's because she's young and still a bit frightened (I carry her around while hubby walks our other dog just so she can start seeing where we'll be walking her)!!!

I love how they just know. I had some teeth extracted today /came home let the crew out then took a pain pill and went to sleep. So 4 out 5 of my pack came to nap with me., only so much room on my bed and my black lab has to keep an eye on the house and kids while we were resting... lol

I love that Mastiffs have a better sense of family than a lot of humans! I love that even though he can't smile, frown or cry I can tell exactly how he feels through his eyes. Even though it was heartbreaking to watch my mastiff stop eating and pine for his best friend(labrador) when he died, I love that he had such a bond and felt the loss so deeply. I love that when something exploded in our fire, Wesley jumped straight in front of myself and son and pushed us back. I love that when my son was on the back of a ute(truck) everytime he went near the edge, Wesley walked in front of him and pushed him back to the middle so he wouldn't fall. I love that they love a cuddle as much as I do. I love that they love sleeping on their backs:) love them!!!

Thank you. :) I just love these boys! We all intermingle in the beds. They start out close and then move around until we can all stretch out. I am sure that you could teach them to use "their" bed, though if that is what you wanted. I am so excited for you. Two Mastiffs are the best. If you really want to shake it up, get a Great Dane. LOL Major odd couple but the compliment each other so well. Really want to shake things up? Get a deaf dog. LMAO So, when do you plan to start looking for a new one and have you already decided what you are looking for? Type of Mastiff/Male or female?
You are my role model. I've been showing my hubs the pictures of a multiple mastiff household and he wants another one. :) Question on the beds, do the dogs get one and the humans get one or do you intermingle?

My husband had 2 EM's as a teen and I am so trying to use that to my advantage. He just doesn't seem to budge. Maybe if I start researching the line I want and showing him the awesome he will cave.
Or maybe he will just come home to puppy breath. Either way I want 2 or more and its just not working out
