Finally....after lots of research - probably too much given that I was searching for a dog - I got a dog!
Just a puppy at this point. Born in mid-January, she is just about 11 weeks old in this pic.
Her name is "Chun", Chinese for "Springtime".
She is going to be around 100 lbs or so fully-grown.
She is a "mastweiler", a cross between a Rottweiler and an English Mastiff: her parents are both mastweilers of varying mixes: her mother was 70/40 Rotti and dad - who is a very big dog - is a 50/50 and full brindle.
I can't take her anywhere because everybody has to smile at her and spoil her.
And yeah, it's a puppy: so cute, yes?
I can't wait until the puppy stage is gone so I can sleep again.

I can't wait until the puppy stage is gone so I can sleep again. I haven't slept properly since March 27th. I have lost 10 pounds in the last 14 days....
So, please believe me I didn't do this fr the 'cute puppy experience': she is intended for deterrence and home protection and to help my wife feel safer when she's at home.
So, that's my dog!
