Dog got out of the backyard & roughed up some neighborhood cats so he had to do a little time.

This is my big bubba Dozer. He is a brindle bullmastiff (they can be red or fawn (blonde) as well). Many confuse bullmastiff and mastiff. Mastiff is the giant one (200 lbs or more), bullys are a cross between bulldogs and bullmastiffs, so they are smaller than mastiffs (100-140).
Dozer is our second bullmastiff (RIP Tank). He’s about 130/135 depending on the day. I’ve had lots of dogs in my life and bullys are the best. Gentle giants…even with kids. Tank was around when my kids were toddlers and was so so gentle and protective. Great watchdogs. Typically quiet, so if they sound off you should go see what’s up. Not super energetic (after having an American Tundra Shepherd I never want a high energy dog again! Good LORD!). Depending on head size slobbering is not much of an issue (that movie Hooch is not a true representation at all…that is a French Mastiff, but close enough to bullys). Usually it’s only a true issue directly after a drink of water. Funny thing about Dozer is he’s usually walking around with a towel in his mouth. Works for us! Anyways, if you’re at all interested in the big breeds, bullys are pretty awesome animals.

I love these dogs and my neighbor has a couple of them but they are so massive these dogs can hardly walk, bad joints I guess... I know when he loads them up to go to the vet he backs his truck in the ditch and lets them walk on and does the same when unloading them...

Willy can't wait for free agency to start up.

Funny, my catahoula will climb up in a chair like that.

Here is my pet....

She is real obedient, does what I ask and eats very little but she doesn't play well with others and has a tendency to bite. She was expensive though...

o:-)

So... my younger sister has adopted a raccoon...

Only about 3 weeks old now. Still bottle feeding.

Aren't raccoons temperamental and dangerous?

LOL... no. They're very similar to cats. Very fun loving and mischievous.

My family has had pet coons for many generations..

Most recent pic of my Rosebud (Rosie). She was tired that morning, and not interested in getting out of bed.

Yeah, the "problem" comes in that they're mischievous AND very good at getting into things.

Hmmm. I had heard that one should avoid raccoons, as cute as they are, because the can be mean and nasty. Must have been misinformed.

Taking Fat Cat to the vet today. She's been hiding out in the spare room, and she didn't eat anything yesterday. :(

they can be if you **** around and piss them off. i've raised a few. once they get big enough, turn them loose and let them do their own thing.
