Hey kraz88, I hope you don't mind that I cropped your avatar a bit and changed it to a jpg. It looks about the same to me and now it's only a 4 kb file instead of over 40 kb. Unfortunately png's used for photos are usually way larger files than they need be.

If for any reason you feel that you still want to use your original  photo, just change it back, I won't change it again. Mater is a very nice looking dog, sorry for your loss. Sad

Pic looks about the same to me so thats no problem. Ya little Mater was 21 months old when he started showing some peculiar symptoms. The best we can figure is it was a brain tumor. He fought as hard as he could but heaven came a callin for him so he had to go home. He was a boxer and he was one of the happiest friendliest dogs I ever had. I would recommend the breed to anyone.

I had a Boxer/Elkhound X. Was a griddle color and 45 pounds. Best dog I ever had.

I took this 135 lb. pure bred American Bulldog for a one mile walk last night around 10 PM.

It was the first time I've walked my area at night without carrying my sidearm, or 4' section of galvanized pipe for protection.   nutty

Yeah boxer's are great. I have a boxer sharpei cross and a boxer lab cross now. They are both good dogs. Hyper as hell though at 1 years old.  woot

That's a gorgeous dog Franz. That's my gals favorite breed actually. I never knew much about them until I met her. She has a brindle one now but it is a female. Excellent watchdogs and very loyal. The only problem we ever had was they have a tendency for dog aggression but with socializing and training it was easily taken care of.

Here is my ladys American Bulldog when it was a pup:



And here is Mater when he was 4 months old:



As you can tell I am a dog lover. Seems like some of you are too!  Thumbs up

Actually, he belongs to my daughter's boyfriend, and that picture is of another dog, but they look exactly the same. The pictures my daughter took last night before I walked him did not come out worth bass poop, so I took this one off the Internet.  Grin

We (I) are dog sitting until my daughter's boyfriend arrives back from Hawaii after attending his sister's wedding.

He is really well behaved and playful with most dogs out in social circles, but when he is chained up in the yard... you cannot approach him as a human stranger, or another strange dog, hence I must keep my gates closed 24/7.

He is still a pup and growing. He is known as the Bully version of an American Bulldog and is expected to get > 140 lbs., even bigger, after he gets fixed.  Cry

He is all muscle and can easily break standard rope with a tensile breaking factor of 120 lbs., hence is why he is tethered with plastic coated steel cable.

He gets along quite well with Bell, as long as he is tethered.

She knows he can only get out so far and teases him quite often, until I scold her, and tell her to knock it off.

Earlier, I unhooked him, and let him roam the property, but can't leave him unattended.

He can be quite destructive with stationary things, such as cars... tires... trees... what-ever-he-can-get-a-hold-of.... etc.  ph34

I let Bell out to do her thing and the little chihuahua immediately realized he was not tethered.

Never realized how quick this little dog can be ....  shark

Getting ready to take him for another walk right now, as it is another well moon lit night, and this big boy needs to get rid of pent up energy.

HA that brought up a hillarious visual thinkin of a little chihuahua running from a big ol bulldog. That sounds like a very powerful dog you are taking care of there. Sounds like you really have your hands full. Bet nobody messes with you when you walk him like you were saying.

He is getting pretty "clingy" to me.   ??

He gets his "5-gallon" water dish emptied, cleaned, and refilled with fresh water no less than 5-6 times each day.

Fed twice each day... once in the morning... once in the evening.

Goes through a 40 lb. bag pretty quick.

Gets showered down as often as needed, as this big boy loves to roll in the soft volcanic ash/loam soil here.

Has dug several large deep holes, including one right next to my largest tree on the property.

Tree has some big roots....  crazy!

Every person I encounter during my walk has the exact same thing to say... "boy... that is one big dog"!

My daughter took him for his walk earlier this evening.

Picture a 120 lb. girl walking a 135 lb. tank...   woot

My 86 pound dog (RIP Maynard) used to bark at dogs going by like he was going to rip their throats out. I dreaded the day he got out and nailed one.

Finally one day he climbed over the fence and took after a lab. I was helpless to stop him. As the other dog braced himself for the attack, my dog went the last 10 feet skidding on his side and went belly up peeing all over himself in submission.

After they exchanged sniffs they played. Whew, I dodged a bullet.
