**how to tell if you're ready for a mastiff**

Found this on facebook courtesy of Great Lakes Mastiff Rescue


1) Lift a hundred pound bag of wet sand up and down the stairs

2) Push a hundred pound bag of wet sand into your car

3) Smear hair gel all over your walls and throw it on the ceiling and TV, while you're at it, smear the lower half of all windows, curtains and glass

4) Rub fur and gel into the roof of your vehicle

5) At least twice daily, drop that bag of wet sand on your bare foot

6) Shake balls of fur, mulch, and a bucket of dirt all over your house daily (add water for rainy days)

7) Practice repeating “English mastiff, about 200 pounds…8-10 cups a day…"no, I don’t have a saddle†over and over with a smile

8) Volunteer at the zoo to help wash the large animals and clean up their poop

9) Invite your friends over and have them all try to get in the bathroom while you are using it

10) Practice telling people that your husband does NOT beat you, that those bruises are from your dog!

11) Take a nice long piece of rubber hose and go around smacking all the coffee mugs off the end-tables and hit any close male where he doesn't like to be hit and smack your own legs a few times too

12) Have someone operate a chain saw at the foot of your bed all night...record this and play it every night close to your ear

LMAO!!! That is great! Oh so true.....and there is so much more! :)

13. Roll up into a ball in the corner of the couch (Make sure you are very uncomfortable), pour aforementioned gel into your lap, lay bag of wet sand on top of gel, play recording and attempt to watch TV. :)

Very true. LOL

14. Have someone shake your office chair and throttle it around when you are sitting in it...in an effort to get into the small space under your desk.

15. Leave rotten food or raw sewage in your home to simulate the gas that they pass.

I have to say, Daisy has been on overdrive this weekend.

Northern is SO right and I have another one for the office chair:

16. Push your office chair under your desk where you can sit comfortably and then practice trying to get up and out of the space without rolling your chair more than 2 inches and pretending that there is approx. 200 pounds wrap around the legs of said chair. Stretching exercises will help you to get better at this.

Bump. Found one, experienced one ->

17# Invite friends over and feed them lots of gas-inducing foods. Sit in a room together and let em rip.
18# Once in a while, ask a strong person in the family to lift up that bag of wet sand and throw it at your stomach from a distance of 3 feet, while you're sitting comfortably or sleeping.

True. Especially when your attention is otherwise occupied.
