Meet Kaziah

This is Celestial Kaziah of the Ark. Kaziah for short. Katie to her Grandma (her breeder Eileen). She is a Brindle English Mastiff.

When I first became single again and was looking for a dog, I was looking at the Mastiff breed. I searched around and found a breeder that I called. We spoke for a long time and she gave me the low-down on the breed. Later, I visited her home (also her kennel) and got so see the Mastiff's first hand. I fell in love!! But, I was living in an apartment and they had a weight limit on the dogs you could have there. Thus, I got my Puggy.

After Ed and I got married, we decided to add a Mastiff to our already crazy house. I put my name on Eileen's puppy list. Kaziah was born October 18, 2003. The day she was born Eileen sent me pictures of the litter and I couldn't wait to see them in person. Two days later I was at her house holding 7 of the sweetest puppies.
I had to pick one, which should have been a chore but it wasn't. I picked up one of the babies and Eileen pointed out her butterfly. Seemed this little girl had a butterfly shaped mark on her neck. I immediately turned my back to Eileen and lifted my hair (for those who don't know, I have a butterfly tattooed on my neck). We laughed and decided that she was meant to be mine.

I spend almost every weekend at Eileen's until I was finally able to bring the little on home. It was great. We had Molly, Lillie (who was just turning one), Osjo the Dal, Zoey the Pug, and now this little bundle of energy. Did I say little? She was the size of the Pug at 12 weeks and the size of the Dal by 8 months!

She now weighs in at about 180 lbs. and is literally the biggest laziest lover you ever want to meet. I can never understand when people are afraid of her. She's not big?
