“ (Spike) He is wonderful! He’s almost 8 months now and strong as an ox.  He’s almost 85 pounds. He is beginning to get very protective and you can forget coming in the house if he doesn’t know you.  My friend came over the other day and I brought him outside so he could meet her and she wouldn’t get out of the car.  He has that deep bark but he was trying to play I think.  Anyway, she ended up leaving and not getting out.  I had to laugh.  You should have seen her face. He sleeps with me and is taking up the whole bed!  He gets right up against me which leaves me hanging off the bed most of the time.  But he is the best cuddler ever.  If he is by my feet I’ll say come lay by me and he will get up and come lay his head on the pillow just like I do and I rub his ears and jaws.  Sounds silly I know but he likes it.  ”

“ Izzy is doing great... getting big for sure. You wanted me to let you know when she started becoming protective and she has for sure.. It's great! ”
