You Might Have a Mastiff...

You Might Have a Mastiff If:

·         The paw prints in your yard could be mistaken for Timber Wolf

·         The popcorn strings on the lower 2/3 of your Christmas tree are gone, and the remaining cranberries litter the floor

·         You are proficient at the hula because you’ve gotten so good at avoiding spit stringers

·         You consider anything less than a 40 lb bag of dog food “snack size”

·         You worry that a tennis ball might lodge in your dog’s trachea

·         Your dog can’t ride along with you unless you take “the big car”

·         The corners of your furniture and woodwork are chewed 3 feet up—from the puppy

·         At a glance, you aren’t sure whether the poop pile in the yard is from the dog or the horse

·         Missing socks and gloves show up in poop piles

·         You empty the water bucket and it all comes out in one gelatinous mass

·         When your dog stops right in front of you, you fall over the top of him

·         You are sitting on the couch, enjoying a book, and a head twice the size of yours appears over the top of whatever you’re reading

·         You have to modify a belt because stores don’t carry collars that big

And, finally,

·         You can’t imagine life without one of these gentle giants, and all of the above is worth every ounce of inconvenience.
