Meet my big baby, the fella on the left.

A Freightdawg?
 

Your BBQ guests better not leave a juicy hamburger unguarded! Come to think of it, that's a wise precaution anyway, with pilots lurking about. :p

How come i can't vote more than once, thats not right.

English Mastiff?

I love dogs, only mine though

Sniff, sniff. You've hurt my dog's feelings!

It is now 10:14 pm Seattle time (still don't know nothing about zulu time), and looks like 6 people like dogs, 10 do not like my dog, and 8 people do not pay attention to detail. ;)

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!

He makes a nice avatar, Vagabond. Pets help make the world a happy place. BTW I will be at the barbecue in spirit only due to a rather inflexible travel schedule (:() but you never know because I seem to draw west coast destinations a lot and I could end up there.

guess I'm one of those that do not like dogs :p

Looks good!
