I'm sure since you have fostered before you are also concerned about all of this. I love mastiffs; have a friend w a beautiful girl, but I have to admit I am also concerned about such large dogs w such a tiny pup. Unintentional accidents can happen to the best of ppl. Hate to sound like a mother hen, but I hope you are there during the day providing 24 hour supervision. Sounds like you will have your hands full for Christmas this year.  |
All of your concerns are the same as mine. I am an at home mom that does web design from home. As for the larger dogs I would worry more about her getting under my husbands feet. They are so gentle and nervous of harming a small dog that they will only lay down when in the same room. She also has a playpen for the living room and for the holiday travel. I understand she will be attached to me the same as when my daughters were newborn. I do understand your concern with my big boys but for her it is much safer than a 35 pound cocker that likes to run, jump and may play rough. Due to their size they have extremely good house manners and they do understand their size. Now the backyard is a different topic and even my 11 year old daughter does not play I'm the yard with them, which she will not be. It is the one place the can get rough; for 5 mins. Lol they are mastiffs.
I would not bring her into my house if I believed she could be in any danger.
