I am so sorry to hear about your dog... *hug* I do not think there is anything worse than losing a dog, except maybe a human child. They are about one and the same where I am concerned. We had Keeshounds growing up but I am very partial to English Mastiffs now. They are such great loyal family dogs and at least the ones I have owned have never been aggressive. Even with the chickens they are great. I felt guilty for days after I found out that it was the neighbour's cat that killed my two chickens and not the dogs.
I think I have posted a few pics of my girls on here but I am not sure if it was on this particular thread.
This picture was taken last month when they were 7 months old, already 150 lbs.:
Mystique and Phoenix, my boys (including my DH) are really into the X-men heh.
They really do not eat as much as most ppl would think, we go through about 50 lbs of food a month with the two of them. I am considering breeding the girls this summer. I would be happy with an English Mastiff Army, although my DH thinks it would be hilarious to get matching pugs. *LOL*
Well off to make breakfast, I have been so busy lately with building my hay storage area and the weather once again is not cooperating. The girls egg production has increased even more and even with donating 4 dozen eggs every week I still have a full fridge so I guess it's time to put up a CL ad to start selling.
You all take care in this snow!
