Oh so THAT'S why my bed smells like dog.

Dear Landlord,
Please go to your nearest google, type in the word Pitt bull and then type in English Mastiff. While booth breeds tend to have a boxy muzzle and could, perhaps, be mistaken for one another while the mastiff is under 5 months old, there are some differences you should be aware of.
This is a pitbull:
And this would be an English Mastiff.
My mastiff is on the smaller scale of her breed size, being roughly 150lbs. She is fully house-trained, barks only when someone is at the door, and spends roughly 23 hours of the day sleeping. She is also not a pitt bull or a pitt bull type. Thank you.

I may not be around much for the next few days, guyz.
So I'm hosting Thanksgiving at my place AND someone *cough*mother*cough* decided it would be a great idea to invite my sister's boyfriend's family. Luckily, they're good people.
Today I'm babysitting my sister's dog, which she and her boyfriend treat like a baby. So I guess makes me an aunt? I think? He's an adorable little boarder collie/corgie mix and even though his name is Sammy, I call him Weasel-Face. (He comes to it!)
Petra's perched on top her couch, and giving him a sniff. Sammy actually does have a tail, but I think it got blurred out somehow.

So my dog woke me up at 3AM this morning coughing and wheezing like an old lady. It was seriously like she just inhaled some water somehow and was choking on it. I was a little concerned:
A) Damnit I let the dog health insurance expire after she got her last round of shots.
B) As a full grown English Mastiff she weighs about 10 LBS less than me, so if she keeled over there was no way I could drag her to the car to go to the vet.
But she got over it and crawled up on the bed with me like, "Mommy, can I sleep with you?". Awwww... Anyway, she's fine but she's all snotty today. I think she has, like, dog flu or something.

Yeah, so I just signed my dog up for doggy day care.
She needs it. Today was the last straw.
So my dog
The problem is she weighs 120 lbs and can just power through the fence any time she wants. So I decided to tie her up. I got her a red harness and hooked her to a rope tied to a tree with her electric no-bark collar so she doesn't yap all day. It seemed to be working.
Then I got home a couple of times and she had somehow wiggled out of her harness. Then, yesterday I got home and she had somehow unhooked the rope from the tree... or at least, I thought it was her.
I took her for a walk today and some handy-man guy who was working on a fence stopped to talk to me.
"Hey! I know your dog! She's over in that yard." He said, pointing to my house.
So we got in a convo and it turns out HE has been the one unhooking my dog. He works on the house behind mine and has been hearing my dog yapping. Yesterday he looked over the yard and apparently she was nearly strangling herself from getting tied up to the trees. He said that he jumped my fence, and unhooked her.
Bizarre enough right? It gets worse.
I thanked him very much for saving my dog (although I'm not too sure she could strangle herself since the harness doesn't go around her neck, but whatever) and went on my way. Then I ran into a group of kids. They knew my dog too! Apparently when
Why does my dog have this secret life I'm not aware of?
So now it's doggy day care for her. Thank the flying spaghetti monster that she plays well with other dogs. Even though it's expensive, it's probably for the best. I've been breaking the law tying her up in the back yard. In
I'll just have to work some overtime every day to cover the cost. Plus, it'll help with my stats at work. *looks on the bright side*
Here's a couple of pictures of
My baby is almost a year old! *sniff*
