"Walk, did you say walk? *sigh* No, you said guacamole"
#DieselHoss
*Sadly, our sweet boy passed away on May 30, 2017. He started our family by making us puppy parents, he taught us what unconditional love was, and he made our house a home. His massive energy is greatly missed everyday.
Diesel was born on Aug. 1, 2009. We picked him at a breeders house when he was 7 weeks old, already weighing a whopping 16lbs! He was a ball of pure cuteness & anxiety. We knew he was our dog the minute he face planted into the ground due to relaxing a bit too much while I was scratching his belly. D is what you'd call a dogs, dog- Don't get me wrong, he loves house guest, but due to his intimidating size people tend to tense up causing him to tense up & become nervous which makes the people more nervous... it's a cycle. But the minute he brings you a toy, you're in for life!
RANDOM FACTS:
- Breed: English Mastiff
- He weighs 170 lbs {which is on the low end}
- Nicknames: D, Bo-Bo, Bubee, Handsome Face, Little Kid
- He loves wearing his collar
- We've found socks & panties in his poop {One of our nieces witnessed this and in a scarred voice asked, "does he eat pants?" We assured her that corduroys would never make an appearance}
- His poops are massive
- We buy 28.5 lbs of dog food every 2.5 weeks
- He sleeps on our bed {which is a Tempurpedic}
- If you say anything resembling to the word walk, he gets super excited and we normally have to go for one {one time I asked Cody, "do you want some guacamole?" and Diesel got so excited and went to go get his leash... GUAC/Walk, in his defense, they do sound similar}
- He wants to live on a beach
- My lap is usually where he sits
- Every morning I blow dry his hair and he gets a little taste of toothpaste
- He has no problem hurtling the couch but he won't step over a cord on the floor
Aug 1, 2009 -to- May 30, 2017
He was a true gentleman to the very end. Diesel passed away while sitting in my lap, his head resting next to Cody's arm, and Lashes kissing his face. Such a great dog. He didn't make us have to do "it." We are so thankful that his last thoughts were of pure joy due to a car ride. We love you sweet precious baby angel- Our 'lil lap puppy.
