Best Tricks: sit..lol..he knows commands..tricks are another thing..even to shake is difficult..he has these HUGE feet that he just doesnt want to lift up and put in ur hand...lol

Arrival Story: Our dog Leed has been missing since July of 08. We cant find him and believe someone has him. I have even consulted a pet communicator that told me this and that he is well loved and chances of getting him back are very slim. With this information, we of course cried some more(my son and I), and decided to wait till summer when Rogue, Leed's sister, was going to be bred. Well after thinking about it, I decided that I did not want to bring in more puppies when there were so many other dogs that needed homes...hence Brutus.
Its a long story so I will just say this...his original owner lost their home. They had to move into an apartment with their kids and were sharing it with other family. No room for Brutus. A friend was caring for him. She had him chained up outside for a few months. Now this owner had him for a little over a year. She put an ad on craigslist...someone bought him and picked him up on a sunday...by monday he was at someone elses house. Monday afternoon there was an ad in CL for him, in Toledo OH. Tueday, nov 4, he was in my car coming home to MI with my son and I. I did get a hold of the original owner and got some history on him. I found out at the last house he was at that 7 chihuahua's were attacking him and he was sacred to death of them and hid in an upstairs bedroom. He also should have come with almost 50 pounds of Iams dog food...but that got lost in the matter for 3 days...im sure. So did his collar that fit. But he is here in our home...doing good.

Bio: His original owner believes that the owners before him abused him. He is a bit skittish if u raise ur hand.
We fostered a st. bernard for 2 weeks for a friend..that was a nightmare. At first he was great, a bit nippy when u would grab his collar. But he got worse with it as the days went on...we started really have behavioral problems with him. Things, im sure, an obediance class would help with. But he was a rescue and we knew nothing about him. My friend ended up not being able to take him so now i had this dog that I didnt trust around my son and his friends. So I had to rehome him. He ended up with a rescue group that made sure he was fixed and the new family had to get training done. SOoo..i was a bit leary about getting another saint..one that was older too at that..the one i fostered was about a year old. They are as different as night and day. If u tug on brutus he just looks at u. If he is bad and u say no sternly 9 times out of 10 he just lays down at ur feet.
He does look a bit scary when him and rogue chase each other in the back yard..all ur seeing is HUGE DOG running at u full speed..ears flopping, jowls all over the place, u brace urself for impact and he zips around u at the last minute...when they play i have learned to get out of the way fast...lol..big boy coming.
He would be a lap dog if he fit. He is smooth coat but is shedding like crazy right now. He snores and is a bit restless still. He is also up Vi's but ALL the time..so he has a date with the vets on monday..time to get neutered and some shots...if only he knew...my problem..WHERE DO I FIND A COLLAR THAT FITS HIM?????

Forums Motto: Looks are deceiving.

The Groups I'm In:
Saint Bernards

The Last Forum I Posted In:
sneezing dogs

He is a great dog. My other 2 are slowly coming around. Rogue is the most difficult one. She is daddy's princess and a bit jealous..but she is realizing that he will play with her, she doesnt have to be alone anymore.

So Im really getting adjusted to my new home. Its been a bit over 4 months and im really happy here. I didnt think id like the big guy that lives here with mom but now i call him dad and he is great. I have to admit I give him more kisses than I give mom..dad tells mom its cuz she took me to the vet and had my bobos cut off..whatever that means...he just lets me lick him on the face as much as I want so i let him know that i love him all the time. Mom will hold me..tho that is left for special times on the bed at night...i will get to get up on their bed, i will give dad kisses then throw myself backwards right ontop of mom..she will put her arms around me and hold me and pet me and then i go back to dad and lay on him where i am in close range to give him more kisses. Dad says Im a really good boy...very well behaved and he is glad mom rescued me. I dont get out of the yard anymore cuz i learned where home is and I like it here. there are treats and lots of playtime...lots of love. Rogue is a bit of an attention hog tho..i have to share with her..i dont mind but she tends to be a bit pushy when it comes to toys...but she says she is the boss so i just give her whatever im chewing on and go find something else...i get to sleep everynight with the kid. I sleep in bed with him! I get uncomfortable tho..i still dont sleep well, i get restless...mom doesnt know why..i think it worries her a bit...that other one that was here, Vi, she is gone now. She went to the rainbow bridge to meet up with Moats, whoever that is, Rogue doesnt even know. Mom cried so I guess that means she wont be coming back. So Rogue got upset for a couple weeks...her brother never came back and now Vi, who was her doggie mom is gone. She actually got very testy...it was almost like the first day I came here. But she is coming around again..we have been outside playing in the mud and chasing squirrels..they wont come down from the powerlines..they just chatter at u and run back and forth..rogue said her and leed were working on how to get them so now I have to help her with that...thats fine with me as long as it doesnt interrupt my time with the 2 neighbor dogs behind us, I like to visit them through the fence when they come out...im not liking it warming up..i miss the snow..it was so nice to go lay in the snow..id roll and roll and then just lay there...ahhhh...that was heaven.
Hey, its my bday march 30..i will be 3 yrs old! that is the day before daddy and grandma's bday..mom said that was a sign for sure that i was meant to be here.

Well i hope im home for good now. I hated those mean little dogs that kept biting me. I was a bit cranky when my new mom came to get me...but very happy on the ride home. The kid here says im his but i kinda like hanging out with mom too. But the kid he will lie on the floor with me and cover me up with his blankets...i like that tho i get hot after a bit.
There's this hot chick named Vi that lives here...i REALLY like her. But I dont think im supposed to like her like that. Mom keeps telling me no..thats all i hear all day long everytime i go and try to be friendly..brutus no..im going to change my name and not tell her. I heard something about getting snipped..hmm wonder what that means? Whatever it is, the family seems to be happy about it and cant wait.
Rogue, now she is a big meanie. Or at least she was. One day i was eating and she walked right up and tried to take my food..i told her no tho..but i think i scared her when i did that. She tries to take my bones too. If im chewing on one she will stare at me..even tho mom gave her one too..and then she will bark. I finally get tired of hearing her bark and i let her have the bone and i go get hers. I dont get that kid..she's weird sometimes. But we are close in age...she just turned 2 so we like to chase each other. I get mad tho cuz she knows i cant fit in some spots and she will run there and hide then jump out at me when i run by..just about scares the pee outta me.
I dont know this guy very well that lives here. He is the daddy. Rogue told me that he is her human, i can have the boy and mom..but not all the time cuz they are hers too. They guy is hunting right now and leaves for a bit and comes home for a couple days then leaves again..so ive only met him once. He is for surely the boss tho...i let him know that one day when i was bad and got into the trash..he yelled at me and I just couldnt control myself and i pee'd. He was nice to me tho..he didnt hit me like others have. He played with me and petted me. I just dont know him as well as I know mom and everything is still so new. They are a loud family so i have to get used to that too.
I guess rogue had a brother that lived here. But him and her went for a walk one night when they got out of the kennel and they got seperated and leed found a new home. She was sad but now she is ok. She still misses him but she says as long as I listen to her that I can be her friend...she can be bossy but she sure is fast when we play chase. She talks too much tho. Always has something to say to me, vi, mom, the boy and dad.
All I need now, mom says, is a new collar and Im good to go...my collar from my other mom got lost at the house with the chihuahua's. That lady sent me home in a collar that was too small. The boy put holes in it so it would fit for a bit longer but after a week and a half I have gained a bit of weight and it wont fit me. So mom is trying to find a collar that will and no one around us makes collars that big...so she found a belt that belongs to the boy that she said she will have to use until she can find it..it looks really stupid but mom says i have to have it on when I go outside..it has my id tags on it...tho she doesnt need a belt to control me..i am a good boy and I listen, most of the time, not like rogue.
Well, im wore out now..i have to go lay back down with my bone.
PS...Vi, I do NOT snore..not me! Im as quiet as they come!
