Introducing .....

BRUTUS! We welcomed Brutus, our English Mastiff pup, to our family last Sunday. He's been a joy and seems to be fitting in perfectly with our busy bunch!

It's been a year and a half since Cody passed away. We think about him daily and miss him tons! After taking a little pet hiatus, we finally - as a family-, agreed it was time to get another pup in the house. It took awhile to determine what breed we wanted and what we felt would fit best with our family and lifestyle. After agreeing we could not go smaller than Cody we truly only had one choice an English Mastiff!

Brutus has been a great puppy so far! It took about 48 hours for him to catch on to sitting at the back door when needing to go potty, has done great since! When we picked Brutus up (from Iowa), we took a puppy pillow with that he rode home on. That pillow moves all over the house. It is his go to spot. We carry it up the stairs, down the stairs - wherever it is he finds it and lays. He's playful with the kids and so far shows big signs of being a mamas boy!

We tend to keep Brutus pretty busy. He's experienced boating and swimming on the river, playing at the park, lots of walks and hanging out at Nana and Papa's house and puppy play dates. We have to start him early if he's going to keep up with this crazy bunch :)

Kynzley and I gave Brutus a quick bath one morning - first and last time in the sink!




Kynzley picked out this snuggly for Brutus. It's his favorite!





He learned that the vents let out cold air, LOVES to lay on them!


First time out on the boat



The kids were having fun running around in the water, Brutus did not want to be left out!
Swimming!






This is Brutus's dad - big boy!! Weighs in at 200lbs and it's all LOVE! He was an amazing and calm dog. We have fingers crossed that Brutus follows suit!
