Dharma the Bullmastiff

[KathyM]

Got some pics of Dharma after her bath yesterday, thought I'd share. Remind me next time to take her pink leather collar off before bathing her, as we had to do it all over again when the colour leeched and made it look like we were rinsing off the evidence of her latest slaughter of children.

Awww she's so pwetty ;D

Give her a snog from me

[deadmansfinger]

poor dog must be so embarrassed

she's just lost all her street cred

[KathyM]

She's a supermodel - the towel is functional and yet gorgeous

[deadmansfinger]

in the 3rd pic she's like "oh god, I hope no-one sees these pics"

[KathyM]

Naaa she loves it, and besides, we're sick of people saying she's a boy just because she's a big breed - why do people always assume that? One guy even thought I'd named her after Jeffrey Dahmer. FFS! ;D

[copigeon]

lol Brian I think it suits her last photo is fab, a propper little lady.

Aww, she is so cute.

But...is she feeling hot with the pink cape on in this weather? Look at the 3rd pic, she is feeling so sorry for herself.

Oh, what a beautiful dog you have! My own dog, Romeo, is mixed Mastino napoletano and Pyreneanmastiff. I just love big dogs. ;D
( maybe because i´m so little myself...)

[KathyM]

Thanks you lot.

Felix - the robe was to dry her from her bath. In fact, because it was damp, it was helping her with the heat, not making it worse Bullmastiffs are sensitive to the extremes of temperature - in these photos she was soaking wet. In winter, she'll have a nice warm coat made for her too ;D

And it'll likely be hot pink with love hearts and flowers on, or rainbow, or something equally girly and supermodel-esque *lmao*.

Matilda - I'd love to see pics of your dog - he sounds gorgeous. I love big/huge dogs, especially mastiff and bull breeds.

Yesterday I met the most adorable APBT x rottie. He was bright ginger and had the most gorgeous wrinkly head. He wasn't quite as big as Dharma but he was close. I nearly offered them money to bring him home - he was THAT lovely. He licked my hand and had a velvetty snout. I nearly died. I still want to go back and dognap him *lol*.

Sky says boney dogs can be supermodels too:



(taken a few years ago, she was actually supposed to be sedated after having diazapam and ACP so she could get her nails clipped!)

[KathyM]

I remember that day!! Sky sedated is one of those things you never forget *lol*.

Much like the day Baz lugged Dharma up the stairs on his shoulder (at 45kg) to get her in the bath because she couldn't "do" stairs. Only for her to be lifted out of the bath and leg it down the stairs and back up them again. She'd never done it before and she hasn't done it since. Needless to say Baz didn't lug her this time, I used a bucket in the garden *lmao*.
