Our dog is, quite possibly the coolest dog ever. Remember the movie, The Sandlot? That is him--not literally, figuratively. An Old English Mastiff, with sad eyes and and a huge heart (my husband would want me to say with mean eyes and large teeth). He is six months old and just shy of 100 pounds. Being home alone is no longer a concern for me...
I grew up with pets (of all kinds) as a kid, but due to college and non-animal friendly rental agreements, I have been without one for about the last 8 years of my life. I completely forgot how much a dog changes your life. It has been wonderful to watch my husband experience having his first dog ever too. I didn't know him when we were younger, but, having Asher join the family, has given me a little glimpse of what he was like as a child...It brings out the best in us--we exercise more, meet new people more often (Asher attracts a variety of people from all walks of life), and spend more time outside.
Good boy, Asher. Good boy.
