When you ask for supersized....this aint no french fry order

Where do you even start when you become a mom who loses their 4 legged kid (a St Bernard Mix at that) then after 9 months after searching you find a pure bred St Bernard and he seems super sized in every possible way...

Today is our 3rd as a family, Barkley II and the rest of the pack that is.  As most working moms do I had to go to work at my "day job" and had the house baby proofed and dogs separated accordingly.

Albert and Nanna stayed in the bedroom roaming free while Megan and Piper were their kennels  to join them.   The baby gate separated them from all the other dogs who were in kennels EXCEPT Barkley because they don't make crates big enough for my TALL SUPER SIZED FRY.

I thought all day about what I would find when I got home.  Ive NEVER  left a dog free roam with my cats until I really get to know them...No choice this time unless I could come up with enough cash that would buy a small used car to purchase a people size jail cell made of solid steal...

Well the results....

I opened the door and that smell hit me instantly. That larger than life super sized smell of pee!!! Yep right by the front door - I had left two pee pads there and he hit all of one and a part of another so we came up with this as a solution to try for tomorrow.

What used to be ONE pee pad now became 5....I'm going to make millions inventing the largest affordable pee pads made out of recycled cat litter...

Move on to the size of the food container...Imagine a 5 cup Tupperware container....that's what I used for my dogs before Barkley II came.   Now that's how much I feed him alone!  I use this for my new container...

This is a 32 gallon garbage can (Chuck let me borrow it with puppy chow in it to give Barkley more calories) He is so tall he puts his head down INTO in!!!

The cat food is now being guarded with my treadmill, since he took it upon himself to not only break down the baby gate to my bedroom but he also got on the counter to get the container off and eat it ALL!!!   Luckily Albert was probably sleeping and didn't hear it crash to the floor Albert is my deaf 14 yr old beagle) or we would have had a fight on our hands because Albert is the pack leader in this house and food aggressive towards dogs as is Barkley II...

Now on to the playtime SUPERSIZE SIZE AND BARK...Have you ever seen a 17lb Boston Terrier take on a 100 lb 12 foot tall St Bernard who will eventually be 120-140 lbs once hes at his ideal weight. .   Lily is holding her ground and backs him off when he wants to play and she doesn't.  He DEMANDS playtime though so for 30 minutes tonight I have listened to him bark almost non stop while waiting for Lily or Jack to play....I allow this tonight just to see what his longest stretch of playtime really is AND to ware his ass out so I can get some sleep tonight instead of listening to his huge feet going clomp clomp on the hard wood floor at 1, 3, and 5 in the morning:)

But the good news for the day is that everyone is safe, none of my furniture was eaten and the cats have seemed to put their ear plugs in and run for higher ground because when this supersized puppy barks it shakes the windows and when he runs in the house YOU BETTER RUN if your smaller than him....

We have some training to do and they have some pack order issues to sort out but all in all it was a pee induced coma that will get me through the rest of the ear shattering, vibrating night....

I LOVE BARKLEY II!!!!!!!   I'm so glad he's here!
