mastiff mommy
« on: November 18, 2007, 03:35:31 pm »
I so hope that my baby qualifies as "big paws" material...I know those paws feel like anvils when they land on bare or flip flop clad feet!  Odin(aka-odie due to his goofy disposition and and similar personality to garfield's bobo doll) is a 2yr 9mo old eng mastiff.  mom is definitely pack leader (alpha) and pack companions include   three 2-legged siblings (one who actually enjoys riding odie) and a furry toy (siamese cat) who seems to be elusive when it comes to being caught-but she is such a tease! 
I wanted a pug....now I am the proud mommy of a 170lb lapdog !  ;)  we love our baby. 

.....I remember when we brought him home at 9 weeks old-I layed on the couch and woke up everytime he made a noise!  i'd already had human babies-this just seemed no different.  surprise-he slept through the night from day one; only one carpet mishap;  never lost a favorite shoe to puppy chews (although the legs of my kchen chsir, a few baseboards and a windowsill secretly satisfied those new teeth). 

Glad to be a member!

Welcome!! There's an unwritten rule on this board that you MUST post pictures withing the first week of your arrival - or as soon as you possibly can. It's no fair to deprive us of ooing and ahing over your boy.

thank u 4 all the welcoming words!  :) I'm still trying 2 figure out how to post a picture so pleeeeeze bear w/ me.  I have great photos 4 sure.  Odin had his 1st family turkey day and did fabulous.  he seems to make humans fall in love with him even if they aren't  canine lovers!  ;)  of course, he loves those who the ham bone to his cause...

i'll keep trying to figure out how to post!

i'll keep trying on the pics-I'm on mobile pc n that makes things challenging on many levels.  Odie doesn't mind-he'd rather me not post his goofy n slimey mug but my will will prevail!  I'm sure i'll just endure an additional drive by sliming in retaliation... ..hehe
