Spoiled dog problems

I'll admit I have a problem with buying custom made collars for my girl - but she deserves it, hey a girl has got to have some bling no? :D

Love the collars and the cause (and your girl is gorgeous)! I have to say, I think females are much more fun to collar shop for. But my only girl is our little pittie who has ear margin vasculitis that intermittently bleeds all over the place, so we're constantly having to replace her collars (so can't spend too much on them). We usually stick to laminated cotton that can be wiped off. I bet the dark leather would hold up pretty well, but she's so tiny, I think these would look comically huge on her.

Thanks :) . Sorry to hear about your pitty, never heard of that particular issue before - hopefully it's not a real serious problem? My own girl in the pics is not a big dog either (50lbs), but she's all muscle with a neck and shoulders like a bull LOL. All those collars are available in various width's too, from 1" to 3" for most.

No doubt I'll be fitting our female Presa the same way when she arrives LOL

It's actually not a serious problem, the lesions are teeny tiny, but they bleed like you wouldn't believe!!! Whenever she has a flare up, she gets blood all over the ceilings, walls, in my car, EVERYWHERE! I periodically find blood spatter while I'm cleaning house that I hadn't even noticed before, lol. Whenever her ears are acting up, she has to wear a snood to let them heal......which she hates of course.

She's built a lot slimmer than your beautiful beefy girl, so I'll be sure to look into the more narrow collars they have available!

Awwwww, what a sweet, happy looking girl! Glad to hear it's not a serious issue, except for cleaning up! :)

P.S. gotta love those "pitty smiles"!

She is such a beauty! I love the little sweater she's wearing.

I get them from Bullymart in Texas; all their work is custom made to order and a portion of proceeds of all sales goes towards helping fight BSL's :) .
Thanks for the link, they are fairly local to me, good stuff.

Spoiled dog problem: Sometimes the bed you want to sleep in the most has too many of your toys in it.

Such a troubled life! She is adorable. :)

I told my husband once "you have a really shi**y life don't you" when he was complaining about having to go golfing once a year with his friends from grade school. :))

They certainly have it rough. My boyfriend is always saying he wishes I treated him more like I treat the dogs, lol.

I have a question about the beds if you don't mind, what size do you have and how big are the dogs using them? Just trying to get an idea on size of beds and dogs. If I look at the chart they really do not list a size for Mastiffs. Thank you.

All three dogs in the extra large size bed:
From left to right: 80lbs, 65lbs, 45lbs.

Rhaegar (65lbs) in two old larges stacked up:

Rhaegar in an extra large (he was maybe 50lbs then):

And then Mazey (45lbs) in the extra large:

We had a 140 pound foster Dane who insisted on squeezing into the large, even though she fit better in the extra large. The extra large would probably easily accommodate a big mastiff that likes to sleep curled up. They now have a giant size that I think would for sure fit even the largest dogs that like to stretch out. Hope that helps!

Haha, for the record, I did not serve him breakfast in bed (even though he was making his cutest and most pouty faces!). I made him get his cute little butt up. He likes to sleep in, and sometimes doesn't want to get out of bed. The bowl was beside his bed this morning, and he grabbed it and pulled it in with him, and then looked at me expectantly, lol.

Oh gosh, I love how little Mazey just sinks into the bed and all you can see are her little ears and eyes peering out. Too cute!

Thank you so much. My dog is 120# and 8 months old and I'm not sure he will get much taller just heavier I hope (his dad was 220#). I have a buddy at work that has one and weighs 240# and said he was having a hard time finding a bed for him so I thought this may be a solution for him. I know I will be buying a few myself. I did see the giant size ones and I think that will be what I will be interested in. I have the Mastiff, a Chocolate Lab and a Yellow Lab that both weigh around 90# so I think they will be perfect. Thanks again and you have a very good looking bunch of dogs. :)
