I promise I will write something later.
Not to turn this blog into an endless series of mug shots, pretty clouds, and puppys, but I just had to share the latest addition to my parent's home.
A Bordeaux Mastiff. Think Turner and Hooch. Minus the Turner. A French guard dog. Looks fearsome, doesn't he?
I think my parents are just addicted to drool. He doesn't have a name yet, so they are taking suggestions.






The cries of "awwww, how cute" can now begin.



Comments

ohmygod. I am having the worst effing day possible. The new little buddy was EXACTLY what I needed. I can almost smell the puppy breath. Congrats! Let the piddling and destruction of personal property begin!

I made up my mind a long time ago to buy a french bulldog and name it "motherfucker". I have dibs on that one.

That is the most adorable face I've ever seen. And his kisses are going to feel so disgustingly slobbery and soft and sweet. I've always been horrible at naming pets, though. Case in point? My dog is named Bear. Shit he's cute.

you should name him JACK!

Bordeaux Mastiff? Does it like wine a lot?
Sorry -- me bad.

I like "connello" - it's greek for "cinnamon"
I also like Winston, Bert and Jack, but don't ask me why....

He looks like a wonderful piece of caramel and butterscotch, and I'll bet he's just as sweet.

I think the dog should be named Kathleen, but that is because that's my name and I think it's fabulous. However, since it's a boy puppy and is so cute it makes my brain melt and ooze out my ears much to my cat's chagrin, I think he should be called Carl Spackler. If you do not get the movie reference I will be quite disappointed.

Beau.
Meaning "handsome", en francais.
What a charmer.

Mumma said that if I was a boy, I'd be Cletus. I think he looks kind of like a Cletus.
C'mon Cletus!! As a dog, I'd come running to that!!
Oh, and when he grows up a lil, please send him my way. I've been lookin for a dogfriend.
love a lotsa licks!!

i miss mine :(
name him....tosh - after peter tosh and tassj-a :)
Posted by: tassy | November 11, 2003 10:43 PM
Im for Killer too... Or Spot.. *grin* if your going w/ the "named for what its not" look...or Sir Dittamus... I am definately a Labyrinth fan..
Such a beautiful dog... You could always call him a name of a greek god/myth... that would be interesting.. however I think with that you might want to get as close to his personality as you can... *grin*

He looks like a Goober.
