Ledger

This is how he sits on the couch most of the time.

I have decided to tell you all about our 1 & only son Ledger. He is half Boxer & half Bull Mastiff. We got him back in August of 08 & he was a little over 9 weeks old & weighed 17 lbs. He is a little over 2 years old now & weighs right at 185 lbs. Yes, we named him after the late Heath Ledger (we got him not long after he passed away). He is has been one of the if not the best the dog I have ever had. He is so great with the girls. He potty trained really easily & has never been much trouble except for one time. We left him locked in our bedroom by mistake one day when we went to work & it just happened to storm real bad that day. He tore up the carpet & wall trying to get out of the room. Can’t blame him…that was our fault. The only other thing he is goofy about is that he will eat ANYTHING…lol…I mean anything. He loves dryer sheets, paper towels, pony tail holders, socks…you get the picture. I even caught him one time in the garage trying to eat a thumb tack. To be as big as he is…he really is sweet & loves anybody that comes over. He will bark & raise hell at anybody walking or driving down the street, but once you come in the house he’s your buddy. So many of our friends love him & always ask if they can have him. Some often ask how he is when we see them or talk to them. Believe it or not…he sleeps in the bed with us…I usually get stuck in the middle. Good thing we have a king size bed. We love him to death & I thought I would share this & some funny pics of him over him growing up.

The day we brought him home.

  9. I can see that he has made himself right at home there my friend,
    in fact that cheeky lad has taken over the whole sofa, does he always
    sit upright like that? He is definitely a wicked character your Ledger :)
    Wicked in the good sense of the word I mean Mindslam…

    Thank you for taking time out to visit my Space today, and do call
    by again sometime soon, have a seat by the lids and watch out for
    any passing Werewolves, Ghouls or Vampires :)

  12. Exactly Nikki….easy to overlook all that stuff because he is so loveable & handsome.

  13. Okay, really, I love that your dog just sits on your couch with you like he’s regular peeps, as if to say, “Oh hey, yeah, what’s up with you bro?”

    • Yea Maria, he thinks he’s human…he is so silly. Thanks for stopping by.

  14. Too funny. Ledger and my Jaxon could be brothers.. such similiar personalities. Jaxon terrorizes the kids walking down the alley before and after school running up and down the fence barking at them. But if they came close enough he would tackle them and lick them to death. He also will eat anything. He has eaten paper, plastic, flip flops, spark plugs, and even a pair of my eye glasses that I took off and layed on the edge of the bed. His favorite thing to chew on is an empty water bottle, he loves the crunching sound and then is bored with it once he manages to get the cap off. Thanks for sharing Ledger with us !!

    • Lol that sounds so much like Ledger. It’s kinda wild seeing what they try to eat next huh?
