Meet Duke

I'm not sure how it happened... Evan must have caught me on a good day. We have a new dog. Not just any dog, Evan's dream dog- an English Mastiff. His name is Duke. He is a very cute little-ish puppy. I actually have become quite attached to him, if only he would quit peeing on my carpet! Anyway, here is a picture of our little guy.

Cute, huh?

And this is a picture of what he will look like when he is fully grown.

(I do not know this woman, or this dog. I just found this picture on the internet to give you an idea of what an English Mastiff looks like.) The breeder told us that he will gain about a pound a week for the first few months, and after that he will REALLY start putting on the weight. Duke's dad is 210 pounds and his mom is 190 pounds- just to give you an idea of how big he will be. You know "The Beast" in Sandlot? Yep, he's a Mastiff. So, I know what you're thinking... WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? And I have no reasonable explanation. I really don't know how it happened! When I look at pictures like this, I wonder the same thing. Good thing I ended up loving the little guy!
