The Newest Member






We adopted a DoG!! His name is Indy. He is 3 months old and is a mastiff. Greg and I have been talking about dogs for a while but never thought we would be ready to have one. Now that the girls are older and can have more repsonsibility we decided it was a good time. We both like big dogs, but wanted one that was pretty mello. I found a boy and a girl mastiff up for adoption on petfinder.com. They were the only baby mastiffs in AZ and the rescue just happened to be in Queen Creek, what are the odds. We did our homework and researched Mastiffs. They are great family dogs. They also have many other great qualities about them too. We have had Indy for over a week now and the whole family just loves him. I keep thinking that he is tricking us because he's been so easy and wonderful. I know the days will come where something gets chewed up and ruined. We definetly have to change our lifestyle around a little now that we have him, but its def. worth it. Julia is so wonderful with animals, she has been so helpful and even offers to clean up the yard!! (Not sure how long thats gonna last) The other two are just as good with him. Even Poker is Okay with INdy, She doesn't want to play with him just yet, but I know soon that day will come.
I think most everylittle kid needs a dog growing up, and finally after getting asked billions of times for one we adopted a doggie, and a great one at that!
