Arrival Story: It was apparent to us that Zeus desperatley needed a canine friend and companion, and there was never a doubt in our minds, that we would have another Bullmastiff. I just so happened to meet a lady here on Dogster, and I informed her that we were going to be searching for a little sister for Grace. It just so happened she was getting ready to have a litter of Bullmastiffs! It was the day that Grace was born that a hot pink identification collar was slapped on Grace and I knew she was supposed to be ours. I fawned over her for quite some time, while my other half insisted that we didn't have the money @ that time. I begged. I pleaded. It was pathetic. We soon missed our cut-off and Grace (then known as "Pink Diamond") was soon sold to a great family a world away, where she was destined for the show ring with her new owner as her handler. I was heartbroken, but there was nothing I could do. Months later, I got a life changing e-mail. Grace, as her new family had named her, needed a new forever home because of some un-fortunate circumstances. Jumping @ the opportunity, I immediatley contacted Grace's new owner and began to wheel and deal with her to get Grace home. It wasn't but a couple of weeks after the inital e-mail that plans to fly Grace to us from Michigan had been arranged. I remember the man at the airport wheeling her out (@ 37 pounds) and seeing that little adorable face peeking at me through the crate door. The beautiful moment was immediately ruined by the sweaty airline man yelling, "THIS IS NO PUPPY! IT'S A BEAST!" She hopped out of her crate, did her business, jumped in the truck and away she went to her new life with us without ever looking back, like she was supposed to be here all along. We retired her early from the show ring, as we didn't have the time she needed put into the rigorious event. (Not to mention she is plagued by a retchid topline and most terrible bite among other things!) However, she is certianly the champion of our hearts anyway!
Bio: Miss Grace? How'd you get that name? My previous owners named me Grace, or actually Gracie. Mom thought that with me already coming to a new home, that it would probably be confusing to switch my name up on me. (She was going to name me "Carmella".) Then came the part where I got my "official" AKC name. Mom just could not decide. After months of careful consideration, she chose "[Kennel Name's] Goodness Gracious" because when I was a puppy and would do wrong (which happened a LOT!) she would yell, "Oh, my! GOODNESS GRACIOUS!" and volia! There you have it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is the rest of your family as good looking as you are, Miss Grace? You bet your sweet little patootie they are! Many of my siblings (Duke, Pearl, Ruphus, Jade and General Titus) are here on Dogster also. Let me give you a shamless plug to my most favorite (and best looking if I may say so) brother General Titus. Take a peek ladies. You won't be dissapointed! And don't forget to visit my beautiful sister, Jade! Looks, class, beauty! What else could you want in a girl! We love you, Jade!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you could click your ruby red shoes together, Miss Grace, and go anywhere, where would it be and why? Now there's a silly question! The dog park, of course! I love it there! All the different sort of doggies! The pond! The tall grass to run in and crawl around all over in! The frisbees! Oh, the frisbees! All the owners to show off in front of! It's really an attention needy dog's dream come true!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An interesting fact: Truth be known, it is our understanding Grace is actually a legitamate twin! Check out Grace's twin brother Ruphus. They even look alike! Grace and Ruphus were the only two "true Reds" in their litter, are both smaller than the usual Bullmastiff, are both "ripped"/extremely muscular and agile, and both have the exact same features! Just when you think you've had enough Grace, you find out there's another one (Uhm, boy version) of her!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you know? That Grace is a Bullmastiff MIDGET? Okay, maybe I should just call her petite! Currently weighing in at a massive 75 pounds, she is super tiny! Shorter than your average Labrador, but with 3x more muscle, Grace is a sight to see! Like a miniature body builder!

I've Been On Dogster Since:
Last week Mom was vacuuming up a storm - she was going at it something ferocious!
I was in one of my "the world revolves around me" moods and was literally right under her feet the whole time - and when she'd bend over with the hose portion to suck something up - I'd get a flying heat butt slash kiss in. She was quite perturbed by the whole fiasco - but I didn't mind at all since I was happy - and frankly that's all the mattered.
She had shunned me away once again and I meandered into the other room to mind my own business. Forget her - I don't need her!
What happend in the next sixty seconds shall be a secret that I take to my grave - and I'll leave it at that.
Mom had set her cell phone on the counter top - right below where the cord was plugged into the outlet.
She turned as to get every last portion of the carpet spick and span - when she noticed me with my brow forming quizzical puzzled expression tilting my head to the right looking deep down into my water bowl. Usually she wouldn't think much of this - as I have some sort of irrational obsession with the water bowl - but the expression alone gave it away. Had she noticed sixty seconds later my next reflex would have been to run for the hills and never to have been caught at the scene of the crime - but blast it all! I was caught red pawed.
She quickly skipped over and looked in my water bowl - and what to her wondering eyes did appear? But her cell phone sitting face up sunk down to the deep deep murky bottom of the depth of the doggie water bowl.
Luckily her next move was to yank it out and begin to panic - as I was sure I was going to be put on the chopping block for the incident - but she didn't have time to think. The cell phone is her only single solitary line to Dad - and her world was a-spinn' thinking about it.
When she settled down and had detached the battery from it's unit and buried her phone in an airtight container full of rice - (which I still don't understand, but whatever) - she got to thinking about what possible ways the cell phone could have ended up in the bottom of the water bowl.
a.) The vacuum cord knocked it off.
b.) Grace counter surfed and did it.
I think she tried pretty hard not to blame me - but in her heart of hearts I'm pretty sure she thinks I done it - I know she does. Either way she learned her lesson - do not sit the cell phone near the dog's water bowl.
I am happy to report that her cell phone is in pristine working condition with not even the slightest glitch or hint to the incident.
What actually happened that fine afternoon? No puppy shall ever know - but let this be a lesson to you - never stick around the scene of a crime. Scram! Skedaddle! Get yourself the heck out of there! This just as easily could have turned out very differently - in which case I would probably be standing on the street corner holding my food bowl out begging for some Kibbles'n Bits returning to my cardboard box for the night.
Go lay yourself on the bed, cross your paws and place your head most angelically on those paws and sing a sweet sleeping snooze tune! Nobody could ever suspect a sleeping angel! Scotch free!
Word around the campfire is one of those two-legged fools, in particular the female (who refers to herself as “Mom“), keeps talking some sort of gibberish about flying in one of those bat eared freaks of nature to live in my house.
So far the only information I’ve been able to divulge regarding the situation is that she looks in color similar to Zeus (who would want to be that god awful color?), she is about my age and is originally from Hungary. (Who knew that being hungry could produce such an ugly little gargoyle!) Apparently the house she lives in now has five of those cobby monsters and supposedly she needs “special attention” because she’s such a “sweetheart”. (Vomit!)
Mom says that maybe if I didn’t have such an agenda of my own and would be slightly more buddy-buddy that she might not have had to come to this conclusion. I promptly reminded her that, “Hey, lady. This is my world, you’re just living in it. Suck it up.”
The big dumb bachagalupe seems mildly excited and amused at the news. I can see what’s brewing in that pea sized brain of his, and I know he’s thinking he’s going to have ally. Psh! In his dreams! I think it’ll be a matter of time until I turn that thing into my slave! You just watch! You just wait and see!
This will all backfire on you, “MOM”! Let this be the last time you cross the Notorious Miss Grace! Buah ha ha! (Insert EVIL grin here!)
Mom finally got around to ordering my Birthday cake today! She said though ordering it online is more expensive, that it's worth it. She said $35 for a cake online vs. time, effort and usually a terrible outcome (either a burnt down kitchen, stove caught on fire or a totally charred cake) is TOTALLY worth it! Mom bought my cake from the same place she did for my birthday last yer and my cake last year was AWESOME (see the picture on my page!) so she fully expects this one to be great, too!
I do believe my present from her and Dad is on it's way, too! I heard Dad say whatever it is I got is something I "don't need", so I bet you 10,000 bones that it is something TOO SWEET! (Because Mommy ALWAYS knows what I love and want! Daddy is a par-tay POOPER!)
Apparently Mom is getting me a super special gift just from her, too. I can only wait to see what this will be!
But my friends, best of all, and most importantly, MOM GOT HER DATES MIXED UP WHEN BRIE IS COMING TO STAY! So, do you know what that means? That means that Brie will NOT be here to ruin my Birthday! Whoohoo! (However, she will be here later on this month to ruin my life. Hmpf.)
So, folks. That is the Birthday report from my world for now.
