Arrival Story: Titan's life began with an irresponsible breeder in Brewton, AL. He didn't sell by 6 months of age, so he was abandoned and left to starve. Animal control in Florida picked him up, and he was put on death row. The local Humane Society rescued him just in time, and began trying to put some weight on him for a month. Then a kind woman took him into her rescue organization, had him neutered and vetted, and placed him into a foster home. I had been looking for a large young dog capable of hiking and guarding, and I ran across his profile on petfinder.com. I took him home about 3 days later! He's still putting on some weight, needs muscle, and initially had anxiety issues that have calmed down now. He goes everywhere with me and spends time with his Boxer friend, Bandit.
Bio: I had hoped Titan would make a good guard dog because of his breed, but so far he's just a fruit who thinks EVERYONE is his best friend! He'd make a better therapy dog than anything. He's never met a stranger, as they say. He'll walk up to anyone and skip the whole sniffing process and go straight in for the love - even to people who are scared by his looks. He wins them over in a matter of minutes though and has actually helped a couple of people who were fearful of German Shepherds. He likes to have his belly and ears rubbed and loves tennis balls, but he won't always bring them back. Titan wishes he had another large breed (or extra large!) play mate at home because Pepper the Schnauzer won't play with him. Titan tries very hard and doesn't understand that Pepper just doesn't want to play... He won't take no for an answer until Pepper's had enough! Titan's favorite thing to do are go to the dog park, hiking in the woods and swimming. Sometimes the last two things go together because of all of the creeks in the woods... some of them are deep enough for swimming. Titan's a very happy dog now that his past is behind him and he smiles a lot. He's been putting on weight in muscle lately and still needs to gain more, but he doesn't know that. I recently adopted a 6 month old kitten named Peace, and they are now best buddies! Titan likes ALL little animals it seems. He likes my toads (lets them hop on him even), my rats, my leopard gecko, my mother's hedgehogs, my new cat, all other dogs he's ever met (A LOT), you name it. He's a lover, not a fighter - and he seems to think all people are his long lost best friends.

I'm finally up from 65 pounds to 76.4 pounds!! It has taken MONTHS to put the weight back on since being emaciated... I'm not talking weight in fat, but weight in muscle. Apparently I need to be at least 85 pounds with no fat, so I still have 9 pounds of muscle to go. My secret? Heavy workout one day, rest the next... and repeat. I can't rest though! I always want to have fun with tennis balls and run around! I had an awesome time at the dog park today playing with a couple of dogs... namely a Great Dane named Axel. Axel (Axol?) is about the only dog who can give me a run for my money! What a big lug :) I also impressed everyone at the park by my awesome skills at jumping for dirt! They all wanted to know why I like that so much or if I was trained to do it. No I wasn't trained to do it, but it's just amusing. I haven't been around lately because my owner's been feeling bad, but hopefully that's past... hopefully.
Well... This is my first entry and Gucci tagged me!
So here's how it works:
I am going to tag ten friends and tell them what kind of ice cream I look like. Then you tag ten friends and tell them what kind of ice cream you look like! Sprinkles count too! Add it in a new diary entry like I did here.
Lucky Pepper only had to tag five friends... hmm... anyway,
That's a hard one... I guess I look like really dark cookies and creme (lots of Oreo bits) with caramel.
