Life with a very large dog!


Five years ago this week I got a phone call that changed my life.

"Were you serious about wanting a dog? A friend's family got a puppy that is just too much for them..."

Three weeks later I was at the Las Vegas Airport waiting for the big garage door to roll up at the oversized baggage claim. There she was, my four month old English Mastiff. I fell in love immediately.

Salome was game as I loaded her in the truck I had driven from LA and off we went to spend a winter in Steamboat Springs, CO.

Since that fateful day she and I have had quite a set of adventures - from a solitary winter locked away at a friend's ski lodge to the life we lead now - sharing the house with a husband, two tiny people and another dog.

Life is never dull and she takes her role in our household very seriously as you will see.
