They're Here... new English Mastiff puppies

[I Love Feather Babies]

DS and Lily are forming quite the bond.
It warms my heart to watch these two together.

Absolutely the most "you can't say no to me" faces!!

Congratulations on your wonderful additions!

Following! I can't believe how much bigger Otis is than his sister! They are both so adorable!

This dude cracks me up with this tongue thing. It sticks out when he's getting the really good sleep. I've only ever seen cats do it.
Anyone else have pups that do this?

Eee. I could watch him sleep for hours.

Starting fresh with a new thread for these big babies.
Backstory here if you're interested.
We've been waiting for months for our new EM puppy to reach the 4 month mark and complete his puppy vaccine series before coming home. A few weeks ago we were offered the opportunity to bring home not only Otis, but also his one remaining litter mate.
Well, I suppose the title speaks for itself. Here they are... Otis and Lily

They are an absolute joy. Both are so affectionate and gentle. They are settling in very well, and (despite their size) have been well received by our other four-legged family members.


Otis is already well on his way to becoming a shameless Daddy's boy just as was intended. I've been trying not to shower him with too much attention (giving DH space to bond with him) but he is simply impossible to ignore and he knows it. He's so very sweet and goofy. He reminds me of a child wearing adult shoes with those huge gawky feet.
(He currently outweighs his sissy by 20lbs )

Our son has declared Lily "his" dog. He is quite indignant that she is not allowed to sleep in his room until she is fully settled in. She is a little softer natured I think, but also has some definite spunk. I love that her favorite inside pastime is cuddling, and outside it is crashing pell-mell through the woods/bushes.

I've been giving dear Sunny extra attention of course. She's taken on a bit of a "jaded-teen-with-toddlers-in-the-house" role but is happily embracing all the extra treats when they all come in after pottys.
And yes, she attempts to herd them... and while not entirely successful, she does redirect them well and set a good example for recalls. She's grudgingly begun sharing the vast wisdom of her two years and teaching them how we dog around here.

My golden sometimes does it when she is sleeping. But hasnt done it since 5 months so think she stopped doing it.

Beautiful pups, where did you get them from? I love EMs.

 

[black_cat]

They're so cute!! Do you mind me asking what breeder they're from? I'm a pedigree nerd and love mastiffs.

If it was in mid Georgia I might actually know the people, were they on a farm? I saw puppies at one point a couple months ago.
