I am not looking forward to the drool though! haha I don't know what my furbabies will think about the slime either. Eeewww haha Thank you for all the great information! I appreciate your honesty about the not so positive things too. These are things I need to know before we decide to get one.

Thank you!
Thanks! I think the only thing that's dulled over time is my memory of how much he drooled. All he'd have to do was think about food and it was like turning on two facuets.

Thanks! I really do. It was hard for me to make, but it was really therapeutic at the same time. He was my first "child."

The first and third are definitely fakes. Now, keep in mind I had a bullmastiff (the breed originated from an English Mastiff and Bulldog cross, so they are generally more compact than an English mastiff - bred to catch poachers and literally sit on them until the police could arrive) and he was about 135 at his biggest, which was considered a healthy weight for his build. I would say he was no taller than a large golden retriever. I've been flipping through my album trying to find one with a good size comparison - my boyfriend is 6'5 and I'm about 5'3. The other dog is about a 55-60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Hutch is (obviously) the one on the end.
