Dogs rule

This is my baby girl Honor. She's a purebred Bullmastiff that came to live with us through a Bullmastiff rescue organization, 3 1/2 years ago. Last summer, Honor was in an accident involving a truck, and broke her pelvis. It took about 2 months after her surgery until she could walk by herself again (without having us use a body harness and belly sling on her to help). If you look closely, you can tell that the fur on her back leg is a slightly lighter colour. That's because it still hasn't completely grown back in. Honor is plagued with food allergies. You name it, she's allergic to it. I should've changed her name to 'Ian'. So now, she's a bit of spoiled girl, as I have to cook her meals for her. Yes. That's right. I cook for my dog. Try not to laugh too hard. The way I look at it is ... she'll be 9 this August. She's not going to be around for a whole lot longer, so I'm trying to make her life as comfy as possible until that time comes. I don't mind one bit.

This is my big meat-head of a people-pleaser, Boris. Boris will be 8 in August. We picked him out of a litter of 10 pups when he was 3 weeks old and at 6 weeks, he came to live with us. He is the most devoted dog we've ever had. At times, his ultra high energy and enthusiasm can be a bit much, but for the most part, he's a real sweetie to have around. No matter what he's doing, if I leave a room, he follows me (my shadow). Even if he's dead asleep, and I try to sneak out of a room, he somehow hears and gets up to follow me, only to fall asleep on the floor in the latest room I'm in. And so on and so on ... Boris' mom is a purebred black Lab (who got loose when she was in heat and had various randomly marked pups). When people see him, they ask if he's a Shepherd X, so that's what we're goin' with. He's a Lab/Shepherd X. Sounds good to me. He is also a phenomenal guard dog. Honor absolutely adores him and I think he likes her company, although I'm sure he'd never admit it.

So these are the beasties I live with, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
