Vagabond,
You should know by now that APCF takes a pretty tough hide to deal with. Anyway, on the subject of dogs, specifically Mastiffs- One of my sisters has a Mastiff. English, named Kaya. The sweetest ridiculously giant dog in the world as far as I can tell. She seems kind of out of time and place, perhaps having missed her chance to laze in front of a large castle's behomoth fireplace chewing on a peasant's leg or something. Kaya is a sweetheart though, and a nice companion for my sister, who is a former model now turned single mother in suburbia surrounded by strange suburbanites. Kaya is VERY protective. Takes some of the worry off of me in my role as big brother, which is nice, because I'm roughly 3,000 miles away from my family.
Long story short- I like your new avatar.
Your dog is Bad Ass!
