Here is a new update...I left the old photos and added a two new ones from this morning. Holy Gassya55 Batman, the pup is still growing!! Now it is starting to look as though Tsu is actually shrinking!
Poor Chicken...he has become paraplegic AND lost both feet in a freak accident. :'(
-
Wow.....he suely has grown....I love those pictures :)
-
I love the way they lay next to each other like that. Do they always have to be near each other?
Tina
BAHAHAHAHAHA!! no. I set him next to her and already had the camera in hand. He will lay on her & beside her but she will move pretty quickly. The photos are a big facade!
-
Wow, in no time he'll be bigger than Tsu!! What a cutie!!! :-*
-
oh my gosh! what a difference 2 weeks makes!! :) they look greaT! ooh how i love a giant dog! :)
-
Wow, he's really growing fast! Hard to believe how quickly the time flies. In no time at all he will loom over her.
-
lol Tsu isn't looking so big these days. lol
-
He is getting huge. Soon the comparisons will switch to the kids and other family members. :D
-
Bumped for an update...see entry #1 for the new comparison photo :)
-
You adding Miracle Grow to his food? :)
-
Wowsers! He's grown again!
-
Wow he's gotten sooooo big!!!
-
Great pics! I cant believe how big the pupper is already!
-
I love the new photo he looks like he is turning into a Mastiff but still has so much puppy, is he serious or goofy? He is the cutest pup!!
Keep the pictures coming!

he is adorable! What is he latest weight and height?
-
Oh I love the comparison! What a big difference. Both are so precious too.
-

12 week shots were on 5/12 and he weighed in at 32#. So I would say close to 40# by now. He is 18" tall.
On a side note, I took Zac to the dr. this morning for a check-up and he only weighed 31# so the pupper has bypassed him!! Â

He is totally goofy! I read all the stories about how laid back their AM's are and how great they are with the little ones and Boudreaux (at 13 weeks)is a train wreck! He is always yappin' in Tsu's face, mouthing Zac (all he has to do is breathe on Zac and Zac will say "ow."-big ninny ::) )and barking constantly at the cat. I am not complaining mind you, I know he is a puppy. I will just be glad when he settles down more so Zac will interact with him and he figures out that barking at Griffey is pointless. :)

I don't know how I missed this thread, I kept thinking I would message you and ask to see updated pics...he was so adorable as a little pup that I wondered how he was doing! He i SOOOOOO freaking cute.
Do you mind if I ask a few puppy questions? We are getting our bullmastiff on July 1st and she will be 6 weeks. How long did it take you to potty train him? We are crating her at night and I can't remember the formula for how long they can hold their bladder at night. I remember when we got Badger he was 6 weeks and he could hold it for 2 hours so I had to get up 3 times a night. But there was some formula based on weight, that you upped the time period. I am DREADING the up all night thing!
;D ;D YAY PUPPY!

That "little" fella is growing like a WEED!!!! :o Those pics are an amazing record of his growth. Won't be long before he's twice the size of Tsu! I find puppies exhausting. With our Labs, the first 6 mo were the hardest. Then at about 1 yr you suddenly notice they have settled down some. Then at 2 yrs there is another shift into lower gear. By 2 yrs I could finally get to a point where I didn't think I might still have to throttle them. That is one reason I've gone to rescues, 2 yrs and over ;D

Thank you for the compliment!
Oh jeeze...I don't envy the "up every 2 hours" part of puppy ownership! We didn't use any magical formula for him. We got him at 8 weeks. His cage is in the bedroom and the first two nights he whined ALL night. We just got up about every hour and took him out. Then within a few days he got a little better and when he would whine I would get up and take him outside.I would say 3-4 times a night. Did he potty in the cage on occasion? Yea, especially when I had a blanket in the cage with him. So after about the first week we removed the blanket. Presto, no more pee! He was in the cage a lot for the first 2-3 weeks and HATED it! It has just been over the last week or so that he's had more freedom. If we PAY ATTENTION there are no accidents, but with hubby working nights and having a 2 year old I DO on occasion have to blot up some pee...but it is my fault, not his. ;)
-
Bummer! I was sorta hoping you had some kind of new fangled puppy pee plug that I hadn't heard about!
I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and be tired...CONGRA TS on getting through it!
;)

Jac we felt the same way I kept reading about how they like to cuddle and was wondering what happened to my dog. Then one day the wife and I are on the couch and he squeezes his way on there (it was a very special night). Now every morning about 1/2 hour or so before we get out of bed he "asks" for help to get on our bed and he'll sleep between us as we are waking up. Too cute!!!! He has also become a great nap buddy.
He still is a little mouthy but mostly its gentle and he seems to realize if he "plays" too rough.

Thank God Jeff! I was afraid we had picked out the ONE defective dog of the entire breed! ;) He is starting to want on the couch with me but when he is up there it is big paws and licks and teeth everywhere. Goofball. I just can't wait until Zachary LIKES him. First the ow...ow...ow.. .all the time and now lately he is shaking a pointing finger saying "bad"&"no, Boudreaux". Poor pooch is just looking at him like "what????". I know it will take time. I like immediate gratification. ;D

So funny how fast giant breeds grow... literally over night... great pics
-
they use their paws like hands and fists dont they? He used to just come up to me and BOOM a huge paw to the face. Again, its getting better. He seems to be going through another phase now where he pretends that he doesnt know what I am asking, as well as a leather goods fetish but thats a whole new post. LOL

U R BAD

I didn't bring up the leather fetish... ;) But I certainly couldn't leave a comment like that dangle. (I wish there was a smiley with horns holding up a halo-giggling)
-
Here is another update...I rewrote the original entry. Have a great weekend!!
-
Where did the puppy go? Are you hiding him? Is he under that gigantic dog??
That gigantic dog ATE HIM!!
-
He is gettin' so HUGE! Where did that squishy lil pupper go?
-
He's looking like a gangly teenager! Poor Tsu is looking smaller all the time.
-
Great comparisons!
-
Wow he's growing fast! He'll be bigger than Tsu the next time you turn around!
-
He is getting huge. Has the behaviour improved lately with the mouthing and all?
BTW I am trying to post new pics here but for some reason can't, how are you doing it?

I think the mouthing is getting a little better, however he growled this weekend while eating a chewy and I was petting him. >:( That is a whole new post though...
I reduced the size the size of the photo using Photoshop then attached it under "additional options".

Thanks. I guess it was just the pic I was trying to upload.
