Meet 'Sukie' | June 02, 2011
Meet Sukie- the new member of our family! She's an 18 month old Mastiff cross that we adopted from an animal shelter about a week ago.
The minute we saw her, we instantly fell in love with her big, soulful eyes and knew she was the one for us!
She's timid, quiet and well-behaved but requires constant affection! If you stop patting her, even for a second, she gingerly nudges her nose into your face and stares at you longingly with those irresistable, woe-is-me, brown eyes. She's the first large dog I've met that actually enjoys a cuddle! She's seems far more intent on receiving affection than food.
We' don't know much about her past but we plan to make her future a happy one... and to spoil her rotten!
She's already settled in quite nicely in our home. Above you can see her 'play' bed. If you remove any of her toys she will retrieve them and put them back in their place immediately!

my aunt had a "sukie" who lived in Lucerne/Switzerland so you see she has family even on this side of the world ;)
Bonne journee !

We also have 2 rescue dogs and our little girl (who really had a horrible start to life before she came to live with us) is exactly like Sukie when it comes to cuddles. It's like she's trying to make up for lost time. She'll bury her face in any warm spot she can find, sit as closed to you as she can so that she is always touching you and forces her head into your hand so that you'll pet her.
I hope you all have many happy hours together.
Congrats on rescuing such a wonderful little girl!

With mastiffs, as any dogs, you can get varying personalities. But the majority of her dogs were very loving, well-trained, and loved people. They also were chewers. Lots of chewing. You should buy many chew toys. Many.
They make great family dogs, though, but you do have to watch them around the wee little ones because of their size. But they're very loyal and gentle.
Sukie looks like she has so much love to give and looks set to enjoy her wonderful new life with you! xxoo
Congrats and enjoy your new best friend!!!!

Adopting a pet from the pound can be the most rewarding thing ever. Wish Sukie was in Australia so she could have a playdate with my pound puppy/assistant editor/replacement child Pawley.

I adopted a dog too many years ago. He was quite similar to Sukie. He gave us so much love.
it matches you to a dog that is up for adoption which looks like you! so much fun!
Hey, would you mind sharing what font it is you used for "Sukie" in the photo? Love it.
cuz he looks after the house when i am not around. love sukies eyes~
Would you mind telling me where you have found her bed? We have been through a few...chewing phase... but hopefully we can get her a nice one soon.
thanks!
