We are so excited because we have a new puppy called Macho, he is a big puppy and for a 6-month-old we have to remind our selves that he is not that old. He is an Italian Mastiff and he is so playful, loveable and adorable.
Macho just loves to be around us and I can tell he is not a loner. He is the perfect companion for Daevyd, who looks forward to spending time with his new pet. By the time the day is finished, Daevyd is ready to go to bed.
