* How would your best friend describe you? (if you don't know --- ask them! )

My best friend would say that i am a christian not in the sence that the world sees them...I want it to be a light that goes to the darkness call it what you will but we all have a hole in us looking for light.I can be a bit out there when it comes to "church....the two greatest commands love the lord and love each other...how can we make that more simple..., I am fun and not toooo worried about stuff. I am easy to please and care deeply about my family. I don't like when others assume i am a bad person and not come to me...I am great to talk to...I don't think i am right all the time and if someone does not tell me then i can't fix what they think i am lacking...(please don't all pm me at once....but do if you think i could be better.). I don't worry about the balance in my checkbook ( oh wait that is what the banker would tell you) love movies and spending time with mary......

* Please tell us about your family and/or those that participate in your daily life (including your furkids).

Mary is my love on this earth she makes my life complete where i lack she is there to fix it. I love my boys although they might say i can go .....lets see how they put it go beserck and get the death glare....but for the most part we love just talking about nothing.....it is something you would love.....did you know the skin on your elbow is called the weines....we have alot of fun with stuff like that....

* What is one or two of your "passions" in life? (besides Mastiffs... we all have that at the top of our list )

since i was 18 Mary has been my passion....no don't roll your eyes...yet.....she was a goal i set because i could see her and hear about her but could not get her to go out with me....once you have that or once she went out it became my passion...and still is...she can make me laugh so hard...she can make me think through things...so her and making her happy is my passion....one of the others is showing my boys how to react to this world....it is tough but how i do things is filtered through how i want them to do things. Helping others break away from the silly rules to find happiness in there walk with God is a passion....replacing fear with knowlege wow what a concept....

* What is something that very few (if any) of your online friends know about you?

I dress really nice and have an eye for fasion.....hahaahahh no really i am a great ballroom dancer.......

* What is your dream vacation?

I love a stack of movies and a cabin in the woods that has no cell phone coverage.....oh and mary

* How did you become involved in Mastiffs? and how many have you owned (so far )

Mary wanted one and see above.......I wanted Gus so we went and looked at the planned breedings and picked the mom that we wanted and got my Gus....so 2 is the number

* In your experiences, what is one way Mastiffs differ from other breeds?

when i go to sleep on the couch in the living room and wake up on the dining room....that is new to me.....keyco and phoebe did not do that.....

* What is your FAVORITE thing about your Mastiff(s)? and what is your LEAST FAVORITE thing about your Mastiff(s)?

I love how they want my hands on them at times and i love how they communicate with me (train me).....how Mary and I can't sit together without ben getting between us....we don't get to sit close like we used to.....

* Briefly describe some of the things you have learned by participating as a member of MOC.

how a group of people can care about each other and really enjoy all these fur kids....makes me warm and fuzzy....

* What role do you play on the MOC Staff Team?

don't really have one......I do DOTM and enjoy that...but most of the time i just defend myself......but i love it....

Are you gusy next to each other when you type things like that?


Oh ... I won't wait for an answer ... since we now know you are off getting to "know each other better"

hahahahaha!!!! ....we are just joking around.

...and yep... usually we are in the same room. ha!

Mary and RR, You all are just the cutest!

Richard, I have to say in all honesty that I have always admired your dedication and devotion to Mary. You remind me of my grandfather, who called my grandmother his girlfriend and couldn't bear to be without her anywhere. I think that you honor God by honoring your wife and I applaud you for that.

Stuff like that is easy with her.....most of the time.... jk she is my "besheirt" and makes me very happy.....ya'll don't realize how much work it was to get her and keep her(had to stay puffed up and suck in my gut for about 6 months......she is really something supports me and controls me a little.....and cooks for me....no wait...scratch that last one.... but not to make lite of what you said.....she is everything i want and that makes it easy......thanks for your comment....
