Many people ask my parents why we have SUCH a big dog. Weighing in around 180lbs, he’s actually a little on the small side for an English Mastiff male. The truth is, mastiffs are known to be exceptionally good with children. While he may want to kill the mailman, and he’s not that fond of strangers and other dogs – he LOVES me and my sister. He lets us crawl all over him and never complains. He won’t step on Annabel’s blankets and he never takes my toys. He doesn’t eat all the food we throw on the floor (though that might help mom) and he’s just a good boy (though I don’t appreciate having my face whacked by his tail.)
Here he is checking out Annabel:

Here’s one of me when I was a baby:

Even though Moose is not my favor; I have to admit that he is a good dog.

Oh how I wish Simon would behave more like his brother…Simon loves kids too. He loves kids too until he passes the point of excitement then he just wants to knock them over and hump…so classy, Simon.

The picture of Ben checking inside his ear is a true sign of a docile, children-loving dog. Still…Annabel does look a little worried. We miss seeing you all. We loved the visit
