Titus is finally 6 months old as of 6-29-2013 and weighs 102 lbs. and 27 inches. I would have posted sooner but work has me working 12 long hours a day plus weekends right now! He is such a big goof ball. Doesn't like water except the gallons he drinks! Haha! Such a big cuddler. He mouths a lot. But I don't mind. He finally got rid of all his puppy teeth. Yay! Absolutely worst part of having a puppy. He hates when u grab his collar to try to pull him anywhere u want him to go. He will throw himself down and paw u like a kid throwing himself down and telling u he isn't doing it, sooo funny. He also loves to walk in between my legs to get on the other side of me or his nose is always in my butt! Hahaha! :lolbangtable: he is a brat at times but sooo lovable and gentle.
But we did get scared July 4th. When we got up I noticed his stomach was really bloated and he looked like he was in pain when he walked. He would drink a Lil but wouldn't eat. I gave his stomach a Lil thump just to c if it was hallow sounding and it was. Luckily from reading lots and lots of information about mastiffs and reading this forum and listening to all u great dog owners, I knew pretty much right away what it was and he had bloat. I called the vet, a different one since mine was closed due to it being 4th of July, we took him out right after we got off the phone. Although his stomach was half turned, the vet was able to get the gases, food and excess water off his stomach and no surgery for him. His stomach corrected itself once the vet took care of getting everything off of it. We got very very lucky. Now in a few weeks he is going in for a preventative surgery called gastropexy.
Ok now onto the pics.
Him as a baby
Him now
I just want to say I am glad that I have somewhere where I can talk about my dogs and people don't think I'm crazy! Lol!
