I've always liked Bullmastiffs, Stan. How old is yours? We have a local breed called "Boerboel" that can sometimes look very much similar. Van Erkoms (a local tobacco dealer) Lite Flue in Loewe billiard Pop is getting on for about nine years old, I adopted him so his age was not specific, but for a big dog it is elderly , he is in good health GW, but the heat bothers him, a traditional brindle colour with white flash on his chest, though he is a long snouted variety, rather than "puggish" head. Do you have a "Boerboel" , Charl ? If so, what do you call him, is he a younger dog? The Boerboel reminds me of my Pop indeed, fine dogs as protectors of farms and homesteads, but good natured companions. A few whiffs of a Montecristo cigar, after "tea" , my evening meal. |

As regards "war of the Briar" , I nearly lost a part of a finger when a bandsaw blade broke, a timeless moment, but wood machinists used to say you were not a man until you lost a finger. |
