There comes into your life, if you’re lucky, a dog that just steals your heart. And this little boy did just that. He was our Tibetan Mastiff Bo-Bo… and he had more than a cat’s 9 lives. Especially, when during the night he started to lick the painted wall and his dribble when into the wall socket and it started glowing. 😀 😀 😀 It was just a good job I woke up when I did.

So, no power upstairs until hubby could remove the socket and blank the socket off.

Little did we know, but they love wood, chewing wood apparently strengths their jaws. Luckily, he left our furniture alone, but he did eat through a wooden shed, a fence panel, wooden planters and decking. 😀 😀 😀 And, could he dig! I had craters in the garden… not holes… giant craters!

If he didn’t want to do anything… no way was he doing it. And bark, my God he could win a gold medal for barking. Especially at night.

One of his instincts was to guard us night and day… and he would guard as far as he could see… which even meant the neighbours couldn’t open windows or do anything to their house without him raising the alarm.

For his giant size.. he was just one big teddy bear. And he loved children… he would just lay down at their feet and let them pet him… ❤

So, from being a puppy he came to bed with us. If he was tired, he would stand by the lounge door, whatever time and then take himself to bed. And talk about lay-in teenagers, he could beat them hands down… he could easily go to bed at 8.30pm and not rise to 11.30 am. 😀 😀 😀

I can remember once; we had a dog behaviour expert come cos of his naughty behaviour of digging and barking. And he sold us a remote-controlled spray collar. When he was being naughty you pressed the remote and he would be sprayed under the chin with a mist that was supposed to stop him in his tracks. You could get various different smells and we opted for Citronella.

£165 later all we got was a walking air-freshener. 😀 😀 😀

We are both, dog lovers and we love our Dumps (now running around at Rainbow Bridge) and Stewie to bits, but Bo-Bo was unique. We’ve never known another dog like him. He was one special boy!!! And he knew it. And we still miss him today…

    1. Thank you… He did have a character… If he wanted a walk he’d stand in front of the TV blocking everyone’s view until the other half tool him out 😂😂

    The article is a personal reflection on the life of a Tibetan Mastiff named Bo-Diddley, who passed away in 2012. The author shares a monochrome photograph of Bo-Diddley and provides details about the camera and settings used to capture the image. The author describes Bo-Diddley as a beloved pet who stole their heart, and shares a humorous anecdote about the dog’s love of chewing on wood and a dangerous incident involving a wall socket. The article is a tribute to the author’s cherished pet and highlights the bond between humans and their animal companions.

    This monochrome photograph of Bo-Diddley is absolutely stunning! The photographer has captured the essence of this beautiful Tibetan Mastiff perfectly, and the use of black and white emphasizes the dog’s unique features. It’s clear from the description that Bo-Bo was a beloved member of the family, and the story about his misadventures with the wall socket made me smile. Overall, this is a beautiful tribute to a special dog, and I’m sure he will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
