I absolutely have to mention that Rex has found his singing voice and it is beautiful. It has taken him a couple months, but he now sings with everyone else. He has really gotten into this family thing. His voice is by far the lowest and comes out as a single mournful note. I really need to record them. I love it when they howl. They probably howl every other night, and everytime a siren is nearby. Lexus and Susie have really high yelps while Trojan sort of yodles. Morgan barks and howls at the same time. Roxie is everywhere and has by far the greatest repetoire of sound.

Rex's teeth continue to improve. They are white again with just a few spots of the black plaque stuff. I don't think it is hurting him but he won't let my look into his mouth either. He isn't trying to stop me from touching or removing it. Its just that everytime I get that close to his mouth, I am gettting bathed in slobber. I try to scratch it off with my fingernails while my head is out of reach but that isn't very effective because he can put his feet on my shoulders and look over my head. In other words, my head is never out of reach!

As mastiff owners, I am sure that you have noticed that sometimes when mastiff slobber dries it turns sort of black or gray? I see it on Lexus' back a lot where Trojan and Morrigan torture her, much to her great pleasure. Anyway, that is what looks as though it had hardened on his teeth. What ever it is, it is coming off and revealing nice white teeth underneath. He doesn't have bad breath and I don't see decay.

I would guess that Rex is about 185 now. I'll try and get a weight on him sometime this week.
