So... we got a new edition to the family... he is a HUGE MOUNTAIN, brindle, biggest smile ever, such a Love Bug! :iconbugplz: A rescue... his name is Gustav  :iconbigdogplz:

Our girl Gina, did not even get to meet Gustav's "sister", because the lady at the shelter said it would be a bad idea, Gustav's sister could gang up with Gustav against Gina....
Gina is a bit bitchy towards her new big brother, but we are working on it.  At least they can walk together without me and hubby using the leash...

I have already started "training" - with a game of fetch... also if he gets his bowl of munchies, :iconhungryplz:  Gustav weighs a hefty 67kg - 147.4lbs  ..... not too easy to make him sit!
But he already knows, i go first through the door... sometimes i have to remind him...

He has small eyes, but that smile... and his tail keeps wagging all the time, loves to lick my dishwasher clean... sticks his huge head in, where ever i open a cupboard... he knows he found a loving furrever home! :iconhomeplz:  ... oh and leaves a trail of drool... heeee.... but we just luv the guy!

Be prepared for lots and lots of Gustav pics! Hopefully Gina will chill soon, then i can take some of her closer to her bigbro! :iconhappinessplz:  or even a PAWSOME family pic!

I have to say, Nacho send the perfect guy to help our wounds heal, love you Nacho my boy! :iconbeatingheartplz:

Some scary awsome talent on this site! Very inspiring!

I am a hobby artist, no schooling, it all comes from the heart...

When i see a nice view, i take a picture, if i see a nice photo, i have to draw it... i enjoy a good story and if a picture sends that across, i am chuffed....

I do have some great mentors though, they give me the best support and have helped me improve, especially with my sketches... You guys and gals know who you are and i have said it before and am saying it again, you are my heroes!

Adore animals (2 and 4-legged ones), love a great chat, crazy about a good sense of humour! Travelling = i can never get enough of!

Any type of Forest - magic,

Water - i could never live without, i need it around me all the time!

Mostly living in Africa i have experienced some great adventures with wild animals! My most memorable ones are, driving late at night, so very nearly straight into a herd of elephants!!!! These amazing giants can move like you won't believe!!!!

Ever heard a lion roar??? Well, photo's of lions and seeing one is cool... but if you hear its bellowing roar, 5 meters from you, during a stormy night... believe me, it sends chills down your spine, tickles nerves and rattles veins in your body, you did not know you had... i nearly jumped into a different bloodgroup... from O+ to O-SHIT!...yeah you are laughing, that is ok, cause it is funny... afterwards!!!!

Just wish somedays i had a talent for writing and the use of words... but therefore i have some friends who can rip a page out of nowhere and i am always stunned! love it!

Thank you for visiting my page...

HI! :wave: yes, i have had a house full of people and a very sad story... my beautiful big male dog died 3 weeks ago... i am still a bit heart sore. He will stay in my heart forever!!! Our other dog is doing ok, but we are looking for 2 new dogs at the shelter... maybe we will have 3 dogs then. It all depends on Gina, if she wants a new brother and/or sister...
Otherwise i am slowly getting back into daily routine.... and YOU?

I'm so sorry to hear!! How old was he? :heart:
That would be awesome if you got a few dogs from the shelter, they all need homes.
I've been great thanks. Grades are going good. Been catching up with friends. Enjoying life :D

thank you my dear Kiwi friend! ;) Nacho made a great age for a large breed, he managed 10 years, 2 months and 17 days... i am still counting it... AND we got a Rescue BRUTE of a mastiff in the meantime, his name is Gustav and he is a big chunk of pure love! our female did not even meet the other mastiff we wanted to adopt as well, the lady at the shelter, said it would be a bad idea to let two female mastiffs together with a huge brute like Gustav... so to stay safe, we only took Gustav, don't want any unecessary (sp?) bloodshed...
Me also busy catching up with friends... trying to get back to daily life, so much to do still... but it is life is treating us real well again, for a change :) your Springbok friend :D

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy sh*t ...what a ride!"
