Blessed with a big hunk of love.
He protects us, entertains us, obeys us (and disobeys us when he really feels the need).
Individually, he has stolen the heart of every member of this family with his quirky ways.
With his intelligence, his adorable looks,
His efficient guard dog behavior, letting strangers know with just a “look” that he is watching them”.
His need to sniff and inspect any parcel delivered or “new” item introduced to the house,
His gentleness, his eagerness to please, his childlike pleasure when offered a new toy, or a walk in the park,
The dance he does when any one of us comes home accompanied by yelps of delight and the gift of his slobbery toy that he brings to greet us,
His contentment to just lie about in the same room when it’s time for the family to relax.
We are endeared by his carefulness to avoid obstacles as he walks around the house, in ore at the huge size he has become.
We are touched by his little whimpers when one of us leaves, and by his vigilance watching the gate at about the time they routinely return home.
The ouch of his weight as he “accidentally” treads on your toe if he is being ignored.
His slobbery “kisses”, his need to rip to shreds in the shortest possible time, every expensive indestructible toy we buy him.
His willingness to sit quietly beside the family member who is ill or sad, not demanding attention, but silently just “being there”.
Now I found a site called Bullmastiff Lovers. To my amazement, so many adore their Bullmastiffs, and I see they all have the same wonderful traits.
