Hiya! My name is Denise but everyone calls me Nise ("niece") so please do the same 
I will try to keep this short BUT I got the gift of gab from my dad :lolbangtable:l se
Ive been married 12 yrs next months & we have 2 human boys, ages 11 & 7 (I call them 'The Boys') Then to our "kids" yes I call our pet "The Kids" - we have 2 cats, Jack & Koshka (Had their mom too but she passed away this past Oct. - she was a feral cat I trapped back in 05' & discovered she was pregnant, she got attached to me & only me so we decided to keep her & 2 of her kittens, found homes for the others.)
And we have 5 dogs & getting a pup next month.
Here's a group shot from our Christmas card last year:
Cecily, 5 next month, 80lbs (Cane Corso), Rita, 5 in April (Am Staff/Bulldog mix), Bobo, just turned 13 (Basset hound mix), Ty & Tucker, 3 in April (Brothers/litter mates - hound mixes).
I did dog rescue when we lived in VA (2002-2011) So 09'-11' I did dog rescue with my friend. And Cecily & Rita are foster "failures"
Cecily came to us with a broke femur (pulled her from a shelter in MD) She was picked up as a stray w/ the broken leg & cherry eyes of course, it was suspected she had been hit by a car. She sat like that in the shelter for 2 weeks before heard about her The vet there recommended amputating her leg, but we said "NO, we'll have our vet look at it". Thankfully we did b/c our vet was able to put a pin in it & its good as new. She had cherry eye surgery 3 times, first 2 times he tried to tack them but they kept popping out so the third time (during her spay) he just removed them.
Heres a picture of her the day I got her.
March 2010
And a picture of her from last month
She's a Daddy's Girl!!!
Rita (50lbs) we pulled from the same shelter as Cecily, got her out July of 2010. She was picked up as a stray with no hair, a massive skin infection AND sarcoptic mange. Got the mange and infection all cleared up but no hair was coming back. We were hopeful that after spaying her it would grow back but nope. Vet thinks with the scarring from infection & having the mange for so long her hair follicles are "dead". But almost 2 yrs later & lots of supplements (fish oil, coconut oil & melatonin) she's gained maybe 200 new hairs, lol. But we love her - she's got a huge wardrobe!
And our senior, Bobo (50lbs), he turned 13 last month on the 26th & his health has really started to decline. We adopted him from a Humane Society when he was 8 weeks old. The thought of him passing makes me want to cry. Here's a picture of him from his bday last month. He's such a good sport.
And my hound boys! Adopted these 2 from a kill shelter when they were 8 weeks old. No clue what hound mixes they are but w/ looks & temperments I think Ty is a plott hound and Tucker a Greater Swiss Mtn.
Picture of the day I brought them home: April 16, 2009 (Ty was 11 lbs, Tuck 13lbs)
And here's one of them from their 3rd bday, the 16th of this month (They are both right at 80lbs)
And our newest addition is a CC pup, he'll be 8 weeks when I pick him up next month. My friend I did rescue with has him & his litter mates. Their mom was picked up as a stray lactating & it took ACO's 4 days to find the house with the pups, the "owners" didnt want to sign them over as they intended to sell them.. NOW mind you this is is VA, in January & the pups were OUTSIDE! Grrr... but anyway, they claim dad was a CC as well. When my friend told me about them my husbands first words were "Are there any boys?" We've fallen in love with the breed especially my hubby, lol.
Here's their mom, Dido
Our baby we're naming Rhys ("Reece") With getting Cecily at the age of 3, I have no clue what a cc pup looks like so thoughts are welcomed, Im not so sure dad was a CC but their mom is GORGEOUS!
Not sure if this is him or not but this is 1 of the 4 at 2.5 weeks (My friend feeds raw and they took to it from day one, I also feed raw)
Pups at 4 weeks
Now I KNOW this is him @ 3 weeks
And at 3.5 weeks
Would LOVE to know if yall think his dad is a CC too. At 4 weeks (tomorrow) they are approx. 6-7lbs.
Been loving looking at everyone's mastiff's & dogs!! And I look forward to getting to know everyone!!
