I Love These Faces!
I was 30 minutes late with breakfast this morning; this is what was waiting for me…. did I mention Spanish Mastiffs take their mealtimes very seriously??
Breakfast; Grown Ups vs Puppies
I have to laugh a little at the way the youngsters come running at meal times. Notice Besi and Oso stay where they are? That’s because they know I’ll bring their breakfast out to them if they’re patient. At almost 4 years old they also know they have no competition. This is not uncommon in a pack where hierarchy has been established. There is still a lot of competition between Marcia and Josin at 5 months old. Marcia likes to store her breakfast and then try to raid Josin’s stash, however he is very capable of protecting his food so the squabbles are very short lived, then they settle down together and eat in peace . Cabo and Brava are both a bit more patient, they wait for me to hand them their breakfast, as does Cersei. No matter where I hand the food over, everyone has a favorite spot to settle down once all the food is handed out.






Spanish Mastiffs and Water Are Like PB&J
Because we live in the high desert, we can’t really have a pond for our dogs. The next best thing? Kiddie pools! We have three located in different areas for our dogs, and they love them….it also helps distract them from playing in the stock tanks!
Cersei and Marcia are incredibly athletic girls! This is their typical morning and afternoon routine.
