I love it when people have this uniform reaction whenever they find out that Bruce is still a puppy and just turning 5 months. They have this certain look on their faces like I'm crazy or something.Weird as it may seem, I take a certain pride from that. I will always be the last to say that I kid them not.
The person who assessed him at Better Dog Behavior center two weeks ago dropped by in yesterday's training session. He had that same look and told me "Last two weeks, he was not that big. You know that he'll be huge, right?"
Sure. I have an idea that he will be huge. I researched it of course and I saw pictures of huge bull mastiffs, but I admit it's quite different to actually see him grow. When I brought him home at 3.5 months, he was just slightly bigger than Harvey. Now, he can easily brush him aside, not that he would do that of course. Harvey is still his boss. By next month, we predict he will outgrow Buddy with the rate he is going. My 2,500 php Eukanuba puppy dog food lasted for 3.5 weeks last month, but now I think it would only last him for 2.5 weeks. He eats more, sleeps more and gets more funny ideas. This is the perfect time to train him and the only time before he gets too big!
But his scary size comes with a huge heart. This dog is charming, obedient and very malambing. His size contradicts his personality. He may be huge but he's getting sweeter everyday. He likes to cuddle and sit on your lap. Despite his size, you know that he depends his life on you. He never fails to show how he loves his family and he's the type who would protect us and the smaller dogs from harm when the time comes.
Today is his birthday. 10 pounds per month until he reaches 1 year according the bullmastiff forums. I wonder what he'll look like on his 1st year birthday party. I'm sure hell look huge, handsome and huggable!
