As you can tell, the pups are
the focus of our family. They are pampered but most of all they
are loved. We know they know it because of how they return
their love to me, my wife, my daughter, her fiancée, my son and
his girlfriend Thanks, again Fredericka and Lucy!
Robert and family

We picked Bear up Saturday.
Sunday we were all playing with Bear, getting him used to the
house, and my brother showed up with Jake, an English mastiff
puppy four days younger than Bear. We did not tell anyone about
Bear. He was such a gift from heaven that we did not want to
risk jinxing our luck. My brother Randy did not know about him,
and he knew how much we missed Chewy. So, he decided to be nice
and get us another Mastiff but he got an English, he did not
realize there was a difference between the American Mastiff and
the English Mastiff. Bear and Jake are buddies. Bear is so
amazing. He knows he is a lot bigger than his little
brother even though they are the same age! When they wrestle,
95% of the time Bear lies on his back and lets Jake on him.
Even when Bear is on top he spreads his legs to not put all of
his weight on Jake. I am absolutely amazed at Bear's awareness
of things like this. My wife and I were joking today that if
Bear could talk he would probably tell us to refer to him as
"King Bear"! He is an absolute angel with a great
disposition.
Thank you ever so much for this
puppy!

Big old Bear is doing
fine. He is a sweetie. Never met a stranger. Our old
dog Cort, the one who mothered Chewy his whole life, has
finally taken an interest in the pups, especially Bear.
Maybe it is because Bear is bigger, or because Bear is
always trying to play with Cort, but Cort is paying special
attention to Bear. playing with him and sleeping by him.
Bear and his little brother Jake are truly a pair. Tonight
they were wrestling in a little plastic pool, barking and
carrying on. Puppies can be rough with each other, but Bear
is very gentle with little Jake 95% of the time. He rarely
places all of his weight on him, and the majority of the
time, Bear lies on his back when they play. It is monkey
see monkey do with those two. If one has a toy, the other
wants it, if one starts digging, the other digs, if one eats
or drinks, so does the other. It is fun to watch them in
the yard. They play so nice together, chasing each other,
exploring, responding to other neighborhood dogs barking.
Little Jake always gets tired first and falls asleep. Bear
always finds him, no matter where he is in the house, and
cuddles up by him to sleep. They sleep together at night in
their kennel in our bedroom from 10 until 5:30, snuggled up
to each other. Cort lies right beside the kennel. He does
not pay as much attention to Jake, but Jake(the english
mastiff) is reserved, where Bear is confident, forward and
always ready to play. Bear really brought Cort out of his
depression over Chewy. When I come home from work I lie on
the floor and call for the puppies, Bear jumps on me, kisses
me, and tries to keep the other two dogs away. He is a
character. My wife says Bear is Chewy reincarnated. They
run us ragged, but we love them. Gotta run Fredericka, I'll
send pictures soon. Robert
Hi Fredericka and Lucy!
Bear continues to be the love of
our life. Fearless, never met a stranger and growing like a
weed! My son and I took Bear, Jake and Cort to Lake Evergreen (Chewy's
favorite place) to hike. Bear had several bridges to cross but
never hesitated. He actually helped his little brother Jake
across several. Bear is probably 70 pounds now, bigger than his
older brother Cort (who turned 11 years this month) although he
does not look it because Cort is so hairy. Bear had kennel cough
for several days (he and Jake picked it up at the vet's office)
but got over it quick. Jake's turned into pneumonia but he is
fine now also. Bear and Jake are two peas in a pod. Bear gives
Jake a lot of confidence and always looks out for his little
brother. My wife Chelle and I feel Bear is Chewy reincarnated.
Bear follows me everywhere and gets 11 year old Cort playing and
running. When I come home from work he is immediately at the door
ready to cheer me up. What a sweetheart! My next email will
contain pics beginning from his first day here until now. He
starts obedience schools September 12. It should be an
adventure. Thank you SO MUCH for our little gift from heaven. He
is an absolute joy
P.S. Bear's mouth is so much dryer than little
Jakes! We thought the pups were peeing on the carpet but it
turned out to be little Jake's slobber!!!! (the English Mastiff).
