A few Mastiff Must Haves

In the past twenty four months I have had two kids. When you are expecting a baby, everyone throws you a shower and dispenses endless advice about what you actually need v. what you might want, etc. Now that my friends are having new babies I find that I am always making a must have list for them, based on my own experiences...don't worry I am not going to start advocating New Puppy Showers but I do have some thoughts on what to do, buy and expect if you are bringing a baby Mastiff into your home.

Expect drool - not so much when they are puppies, but around seven months the faucet comes on. I invested in stacks of white wash cloths in bulk from Costco. She is used to getting her mouth wiped - a lot.

Expect chewing, but not like a Labrador. I have tried many toys and found the two most successful ones are Hard Core Firehose Toys and the Nylabone Galileo Chew Bone.
