MEET THE AWESOME EIGHT!
IT HAS BEEN A WHIRLWIND THREE WEEKS! AT TWO WEEKS THEIR EYES OPENED AND THE PERSONALITIES BLOSSOMED. WE WOULD OFFICIALLY LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE AWESOME EIGHT!
UP FIRST IS BONO: A BIG BRINDLE BOY NAMED BY DANA, A TRIBUTE TO HER FAVORITE GROUP, FOR ALL OF THE YOUNGSTERS READING ALONG THAT WOULD BE U-2. BONO WAS THE LARGEST AT BIRTH AND IS STILL HOLDING HIS OWN IN THE TUBBY DEPARTMENT.
NEXT WE HAVE TOTES: TOTES IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE AND I CHOSE HIS NAME IN MEMORY OF MY FIRST MALE BULLMASTIFF, CH. SANBARS TOTO OF OZ. TOTO WAS BRED, RAISED AND SHOWN BY DR. REPPART AND LIVED WITH ME, WE LOST HIM AT THE GOLDEN AGE OF 12 YEARS. UNTIL THE VERY DAY HE TOOK HIS LAST BREATH TOTO WAS ALWAYS IN TROUBLE, PUSHING THE ENVELOPE EVERY SECOND OF HIS LIFE! TOTES JR. IS LIVING UP TO HIS NAME SAKE; HE IS THE LARGEST BY FAR, THE FIRST TO OPEN HIS EYES, THE FIRST TO WALK, TRAMPLES HIS SIBLINGS ON THE WAY TO NURSE MOMMA, GOBBLED UP HIS FIRST BOWL OF PUPPY FOOD WITH SHAMELESS GLUTTONY, POOPS TWICE AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE AND IS VERY DEVOTED TO PRACTICING HIS NEWLY FOUND TALENTS, BARKING AND GROWLING. DOC ADORES HIM!
OUR FIRST GIRL IS BUBBA: NOT VERY FEMININE, BUT SO APPROPRIATE! SHE IS JUST A FEW OUNCES BEHIND TOTES IN THE RACE FOR PUPPY PLUMPNESS AND IS NAMED IN HONOR OF KELLY'S FIRST BULLMASTIFF, A HUGE FAWN NAMED BUBBA. LIKE KELLY'S BUBBA OUR BIG GIRL CARRIES HER IMPRESSIVE GIRTH WITH GRACE AND DIGNITY, AND IF IT MOVES SHE EATS IT!
OUR NEXT GIRL IS RUSTY: NAMED FOR AMANDA'S FIRST BULLMASTIFF RUSTY IS FEISTY AND NOT AT ALL INTIMIDATED BY THE BIGGER PUPS. RUSTY IS KNOWN FOR HER ABILITY TO PIN DOWN HER SIBLINGS AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
ROSIE IS NEXT: NAMED AFTER MY FIRST FEMALE BULLMASTIFF, I KNOW THAT'S TWO FOR ME BUT I'M THE BLOG WRITER! AND IN REAL LIFE TOTES AND ROSIE LIVED TOGETHER AND WERE BEST BUDS SO YOU REALLY CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. ROSIE IS BEAUTIFUL, SWEET AND KIND. SHE IS NOT ONE TO PUSH OR SHOVE, ALTHOUGH SHE IS A BIT PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, USING THE GRAB THE EAR AND TUG PLOY WHILE A SIBLING IS IN DEEP SLEEP.
RUTHIE: THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL WAS NAMED BY GINYA. RUTHIE IS THE CALMEST AND MOST LOVING OF THE LITTER. SHE IS POLITE WHEN SHE PLAYS, NO TAIL GRABBING OR NASTY EAR PULLING AND PATIENTLY WAITS HER TURN WITH MOMMA. I THINK IF WE GAVE HER A NAPKIN SHE WOULD WIPE HER FACE WHEN SHE FINISHED EATING. RUTH IS GINYA'S MIDDLE NAME.
MAVERICK: OUR FIFTH GIRL IS NAMED IN MEMORY OF ONE OF THE PARVO PUPPIES THAT CAME IN TO RESCUE LAST SUMMER. ONLY FOUR MONTHS OLD, SKIN AND BONES, FULL OF PARASITES AND VERY SICK FROM THE PARVO VIRUS; AND THEY HAD NO NAMES. WE NAMED HER MAVERICK BECAUSE SHE WAS SUCH A FIGHTER. IN THE END SHE LOST THE BATTLE, BUT SHE LOST WITH DIGNITY AND COURAGE.
OUR LAST GIRL IS ZOE: ZOE IS A GREAT LITTLE GIRL, SHE IS THE EXPERT NAPPER OF THE LITTER. ZOE IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO FALL ASLEEP AND THE LAST TO WAKE UP. I THINK THE ONLY REASON SHE WAKES UP IS TO EAT, NOT A BAD LIFE! SHE IS NAMED ZOE BECAUSE NADIA SMITH LIKES THAT NAME :)
AND SO NOW THE PARTY BEGINS. UNCLE TUCKER ISN'T HERE TO GUIDE THEM THROUGH THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS OF THE BULLMASTIFF MANUAL, BUT I HAVE A SNEAKING SUS
PICION HE IS CHANNELING EVERYTHING THROUGH TOTES!
