My mastiff is both lazy and nuts!

[Burnaby BC]

15 weeks and can be a terror. I love the big lug so much. I took him for a little walk and he jumped in a ditch that was 3ft deep of water. He stuck his paw in and tested it first lol. There was a layer of ice/snow on it do it must have been cold. He cuddles on the couch as much as you let him. I'm worried I don't exercise him enough. When he seems rowdy I take him out and play. He has lots of loose skin. About a handful when you grab it. He eats all his food and is learning a few commands. Great dogs. I'm so happy to get one.

He is a cutie! But you've seen nothing yet, give it time I promise you a fun ride, also trying! I am on my 4th OEM and I love them! At 15 weeks, he should only be getting light exercise, no long walks. Keep walks under 10 min, any long walks can be detrimental to his joint development. As he matures, you'll find that he'll have a nice loose muzzle and a pretty pudgy belly! He's gonna be one big lap dog! I adore watching mastiff pups play, they are so funny!

I LOVE all that loose skin...don't know why. My favorite part of play time, when they run at you, and all their loose face skin just goes all over the place. hehe Cracks me up every time!!

I still use the 'rowdyness level' as an indication of exercise requirements...
From Denna's actions today (she's 9 months old) we need to go on a 10 mile hike. She just ate one of the Christmas tree ornaments... (a highly starched crocheted snowman... must have been tasty... but, good thing, she didn't swallow it). She's now restricted to locations away from the tree where I can keep my eye on her!

Sorry, but this cracked my up! lol We didn't even bother to put our tree up this year. Briggs is only 6 months old, and I would just rather not tempt him with all the "chew toy" looking things. haha Maybe next year.

 

[Burnaby BC]

Lol. I just brought the tree home today. I was more worried about a toddler. Now I'm really worried.

 

[dpenning]

I put my tree up while all the dogs were off getting tubbies. I was a lIttle worried about daisy but so far she has ignored it. We did have one casualty from her tail but otherwise no problems! (knock on wood)

 

[Smokeycat]

I wanted a real tree but lost hope that it would survive. I have a 3' tree up on a table and have only had one damaged ornament, much better than last year.

 

[Gunny]

Cute pup. Just wait until he is a 120lb nut.

We've lost a few ornaments, but that was to be expected.

 

[raechiemay]

When we put out tree up Duchess was utterly confused. She starred at it for a while, eyeballed it as she walked past, & would tilt her head if any of the ornaments made noise. Then she became overly curious. So I'm starting to think she might be considering her name is now "NO!"

 

[Gunny]

I forgot to add that Gunny almost immediately marked the tree when we set it up. He's been house trained and hasn't gone inside for a while, so I thought he smelled a tree and thought "ooh, I can pee here", but my mother-in-law said he was probably marking it.

masiff puppies are like sour patch kids ---first their sour then there sweet!!!
we have a motion activated ornament that will sing which is always entertaining to watch minnie get freaked out odin (4yrs) could care less

 

[Burnaby BC]

No Christmas tree incidents luckily.
He's really lazy. Plays well and getting better with my 2 yr old. Certain commands work only when we are indoors.
Benny has a spot on the couch and will try and move you if you let him.

 

[Rugers-Kris]

The minute I put the tree up (Artificial) Ruger lifted his leg and peed on it! :-/ I wasn't thinking that to him a tree is a tree...LOL. I corrected him and kept it from happening again...

Lol. I just brought the tree home today. I was more worried about a toddler. Now I'm really worried.

My 210 pound mastiff is 3 he is nuts also and he has so much excess skin you could probably make another dog lol he is such a sweet looking pup!

 

[smfidler]

I love the excess skin. When Bentley lays on his back there is skin folded onto the ground
