Doesn't seem quite ready to be a LGD GP x Mastiff or not!

My husband helped a friend cut up a deer the other day. When he came home one of our dogs was totally freaked out. Apparently she should hang out with Rita!

How is the little chewer doing @Southern by choice?

She is doing great! I know I need to update too.
I took some videos of her as well.
Here are a few pics.
She LOVES deer bones. :)

These are from the 12th I think-

From the 13th-
This we have to stop- she thinks she is a schutzhund dog. Grabs your pants leg as you wlk by and grabs holds and shakes... strong bite and jaws. She only does this when she is wound up and playful BUT this is a no no!

This was one of the kids favorite books from when they were little! So funny how the kids were saying Rita is like Chewy Louie! AND SHE IS! NEVER had a dog that chewed like she does. anyway- I can't believe it but found the book upstairs on top of a box I was packing! :D Packing all the bookshelve books and there it was so cool! Had to bring it down and get a pic... she just had a bath and was all tired out.

My wonderful children laughed at me and will not let me live this one down. She seemed cold and I had no more dog towels left... so I grabbed one of the fleece throws and put it on her. Oh you should have heard it! :lol: Boy did I get the riot act! I have a rule of not wanting dogs on blankets... because I have to wash that blanket and it gets ridiculous to tie up the washer for blankets and I already do 6 loads easy a day. Plus I don't like dogs on blankets. Kids-MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM you are NOT putting a blanket on her are you?
Me- well, yes, she is shivering. She had a bath and I have no more towels (hanging my head in shame)
Kids- Mmmm Hmmmm shaking heads with that kind of smirk that says Oh mom is so busted- we are gonna use this one! :lol::lol:

But doesn't she look cute! :p
