Hi I'm Lenny the latest addition to Bigmesc's family
I have been on a cut as long as I can remember.
Bigmesc has me on a bulk he says and I am now up to 40lbs
He says I have another 20 lbs or so to go.
I am making great lean gains, this place is great, food, friends and a huge bed we all sleep on together.
Did I mention food all kinds of good health food.
So my days may have started out lean but my life shall be full
and with my new family my heart will be as full as my belly.
A full belly and a full ball sack, what more could a dog want.
Yea YOU ARE A GOOD MAN and Have vision. Most folks see a poor old fighting dog on lts last legs. When after all thats a youngster that just needs NUTRITION. And the LOVE those dogs have in their hearts is WHAT it is that people DERANGE to fight them - and they ARE GOING TO HELL TO BE FIGHTING DOGS AMONGST THEMSELVES FOR SATAN. Hope they like it...
Beautiful pup...!

My girl is older, incontinent, and senile now. Really saddens me. I have to remind her to go and walk out back with her and I whip it out and give her the signal = time to do business. She leaks on the floor without the PROIN (aka-dexatrim which has probably already stroked her old ass). Hips are starting to go and only a matter of time before she takes a fall and breaks a bone. Good god I don't know how I am gonna take her there when its time..
You REALLY have to wonder WHAT IS GOING ON in some of these veterinarian's minds who perform all these "lethal Injection Procedures". If ever there was the makings of a serial killer I would speculate one of these could hold the potential. But you have to wonder what king of "GOD COMPLEX" some of these Vets may possibly have..
Still, to hold this girls paw at the time is going to flat out DESTROY ME.. I just did it with the male lab. It was hard but it was a bit easier as more LOGICAL in that he had a liver/spleen cancer that had depleted his red blood cells to the point he could barely stand up. We already had him down in surgery observing the cancer, so it was a logical and "Best for him" as even to wake him would have been a no go for him. So I guess the same conditions will arise for her and seem right at time. But God forbid a broken leg from a fall or disfunctional hip being the cause and her still having conscious potential which I would have to give the order to snuff. THE HUMANITY..!! Unbelievable and WHAT gives US the Right...??!?!?

I've always had big breed dogs, Great Danes & Mastiff. My last was a female Mastiff named Sasha. She got ms at the age of three but was hands down the sweetest wannabe lapdog that wouldn't hurt a fly. A true blue partner in crime. She leaves big prints to fill but I will without a doubt get another as soon as I can.
Reevy GM, Delgado MM. Are Emotionally Attached Companion Animal Caregivers Conscientious and Neurotic? Factors That Affect the Human-Companion Animal Relationship. Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science:1-20. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10888705.2014.988333
Few studies have examined how personality traits may be related to the amounts and types of attachments humans have toward companion animals (pets).
In this study, 1,098 companion animal guardians (owners) completed a survey that included the Big Five Inventory, the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale, and the Pet Attachment Questionnaire.
Each participant chose whether he or she identified as a Cat Person, Dog Person, Both, or Neither.
Results indicated that neuroticism, conscientiousness, choosing a dog as a favorite pet, and identifying as a Cat Person, Dog Person, or Both predicted affection for a pet.
Conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness decreased avoidant attachment to pets, and neuroticism increased anxious attachment to pets.
Both dogs and cats could benefit from pet owners who are conscientious, and there may be some benefits of neuroticism in pet owners.
The findings of this study will advance understanding of the human-animal bond. As this understanding increases, measurements of human attachment and personality may be useful for the development of tools that could assist shelter employees and veterinarians in counseling people about pet ownership.

This woman took her dying dog on a bucket list adventure
https://www.yahoo.com/travel/doggie...hoto-ride-in-a-canoe-photo-1421774939461.html
When my 160-pound English Mastiff was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, I was crushed. Together Gizelle and I had been through college, boyfriends, our early 20s, and a move from simple Tennessee to big and scary New York City. This dog wasn’t just my best friend — she was my roommate and confidant. What does the vet mean she only has a few months left?
My sobbing seemed unstoppable, but Gizelle was sensitive and didn’t like to see me cry. I had to be strong. So I decided we would bury our worries in the dog park and create a bucket-list adventure of everything we wanted to do before she died. It was my mission for us to indulge and explore life’s joys. We’d escape the city and search for waterfalls, cook lobster, and nap in the grass. We’d jump in the ocean without towels, just to enjoy the sun drying us, and never stress about details like sand in the car.
Doing a bucket list for Gizelle not only helped me cope with losing her, it wasalso one wild ride. It helped me live in the present and see life for what it truly is: a sweet, simple, precious adventure. So paw in hand, we packed our bags and set off. Here are some of our favorite adventures.

Are you happy? Your dog can tell.
Dog owners may think their pets can tell a smile from a frown, but scientific evidence has been lacking.
Now, researchers have trained dogs from a variety of breeds to look at a pair of photos arranged side by side—one showing the upper half of a woman’s face looking happy and the other showing the upper half of the same woman’s face looking angry—and pick out the happy expression by touching their snouts to it (pictured).
When then shown the lower halves of the faces or pieces of other people’s faces, the perceptive pooches could still easily discern happy from angry. Another group of canines similarly learned to identify angry faces.
Dogs in a previous study that distinguished expressions on whole faces could have done so using simple visual clues that reappeared in every face: the white of teeth in a smile, for instance, or creases in angry skin.
Identifying emotions from photos of different parts of the face requires a more holistic understanding of expression, argue the authors of the new study. While primates are known to recognize faces, dogs may have been especially adapted for emotional sensitivity to humans during their domestication. The researchers plan to investigate how common this ability is by testing pigs and other animals.
Highlights
· We demonstrate that pet dogs can discriminate emotional expressions in human faces
· We can rule out that discrimination was based on simple local cues
· This ability may depend on extensive interaction with humans and/or domestication
· Dogs probably use their memories of real emotional human faces to accomplish the task
Müller CA, Schmitt K, Barber ALA, Huber L. Dogs Can Discriminate Emotional Expressions of Human Faces. Current Biology. 2015. http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(14)01693-5
The question of whether animals have emotions and respond to the emotional expressions of others has become a focus of research in the last decade. However, to date, no study has convincingly shown that animals discriminate between emotional expressions of heterospecifics, excluding the possibility that they respond to simple cues. Here, we show that dogs use the emotion of a heterospecific as a discriminative cue.
After learning to discriminate between happy and angry human faces in 15 picture pairs, whereby for one group only the upper halves of the faces were shown and for the other group only the lower halves of the faces were shown, dogs were tested with four types of probe trials:
(1) the same half of the faces as in the training but of novel faces,
(2) the other half of the faces used in training,
(3) the other half of novel faces, and
(4) the left half of the faces used in training.
We found that dogs for which the happy faces were rewarded learned the discrimination more quickly than dogs for which the angry faces were rewarded. This would be predicted if the dogs recognized an angry face as an aversive stimulus.
Furthermore, the dogs performed significantly above chance level in all four probe conditions and thus transferred the training contingency to novel stimuli that shared with the training set only the emotional expression as a distinguishing feature.
We conclude that the dogs used their memories of real emotional human faces to accomplish the discrimination task.
