They ended up keeping 3 of the puppies so then they had 5 at a gross weight of over 1000lbs! They would go through a 40 lb bag of dog food in about 5 days! She gave up on the idea of raising Mastiffs for money.

He isn't too bad. We go through the 40lb bags every week and a half or so. He is only a couple years old, and we are taking care of him until we can get him to Texas (his new home). They (my SO's parents who had him to begin with) had to keep him somewhat skinny because if they gain too much weight too fast when they are growing they will have joint probelms, back problems, and arthritis because their growing body can't handle that much weight. Once he settles down (he is pretty hyper) he should get to be at least 220. His father was 250 from what I heard. We are letting him bulk up now.

i am guessing the 160... the last time he was weighed he was 149, but we have been feeding him more since then and you can tell he has gained weight.

SG, those cats are cute! They look like they climb the walls though...

Updated pictures of Banzai, 14yo(!) red point siamese. I missed the good teeth shot...

Beautiful cats SG, and they look like they are a lot of fun.

They're Singapuras - I adopted rather than bought them and I suspect Dylan's bloodline isn't pure. But I love them equally. Except when they are being monsters.

Jinx that's a great set of photos of Banzai. Did you have to wait a long time to get them or was there a fair amount of luck involved?

jinx · 12-20-2006, 09:51 PM

A little of both. I took a lot of bad pictures for a while and then caught him yawning.

I like his freckle-y nose, though I notice he has no freckles in his ears. Does he have any freckles on his footpads or in his mouth?
I think only orange kitties get freckles. I have three orange kitties with freckles.

Iggy · 12-21-2006, 01:01 AM

Those are fabulous eyes... I have never seen so vivid a blue for a cat's eyes! You are lucky.

I decided to try and get into a Christmassy mood. To which purpose I furnished myself with a bottle of wine and a box of Mr Kiplings Christmas slices.

As some of you may know, Pilau (my clever but slightly demented bearded collie) has become very interested in the goings on on my worksurface, ever since it started miraculously sprouting cooked sausages:
