Show and Tell



This is my first time participating in Show and Tell, so hopefully I don't screw it up!

This is a picture of me and my "lap-dog" Ryno.  Ryno is an English Mastiff that we adopted when he was 8 months old from Friends of Rescued Mastiffs.  He was supposed to be my husband's dog, but he turned out to be a giant mama's boy!  When he sits on you like he is in this picture, you really can't breathe.  He weighs approximately 185 pounds, but is really such a sweetie.  He likes to snuggle, and get belly rubs, and lay on the couch.  He is a true couch potato, often refusing to go outside because he doesn't want to get up.  His is completely NOT a guard dog, and wants nothing more than to love everyone to death.
In this recovery period after my miscarriage, Ryno is one of the things that can bring me joy on a daily basis.  I just love him!

Now, go check out what the rest of the class is showing!

  1. He's so cute! He looks like such a big teddy bear that you could just squeeze and love on. :-) I'm glad he's brining you happiness in this difficult time. Still thinking about you and praying for you.

  2. I love that picture! And dogs are such great creatures and wonderful companions. I thought our dogs were big but 185 pound dog could swallow my airedale whole!

  4. What a great snuggle boy. I keep telling my husband I want one (along with a whippet), but he objects. :(

  6. He's gorgeous. Who cares how big he is, the important thing is that you get to cuddle him. :)

  7. Ryno is just too cute! I'm so sorry you're going through all you have. I hope you're feeling better and stronger.

  8. I love, love, love, love big dogs. They always seem to love laps more than the itty-bitty ones. When I had my Sammoyed I thought he was a lap dog because he thought he was a cat (long story.) But I think it's just that the bigger the dog, the more the love bug.
