Kim, Angie and Nying's Homepage

Welcome to our homepage! We live in Southern California with our mommy Liz and our daddy Kynn. We are three black Tibetan Mastiffs who were born in England, and moved to the USA when we were four and a half years old. Our real mommy Penny and our other brother Ketra still live in England, as does Penny's brother (our uncle).

We were born on December 25th, 1989 during Christmas lunch. We could smell the yummy turkey, and Angie said we should try to go out to the Real World so we could have some! She went first, and then Kim followed her but he got muddled and went out the wrong way - feet first! He hasn't changed much.... Anyway, Nying went out last because she was scared, but she didn't want to stay all alone. And you know what? Even after we went to all that trouble, we never got any turkey!

When we were ten weeks old, our real daddy, Balu came to visit us and we all romped in the field together. Balu's mommy Sally took lots of pictures of us - here's one where Sally's friend held Kim up for a close shot! Penny is looking up to see what's happening, but Balu and the rest of us just carried on sniffing the grass. Later, Kim decided to show his daddy how fast he could run! Careful not to bite your tongue off, Kim!

Most of us grew up pretty normally, but Nying always showed signs of being insane from an early age, and daddy doesn't think she's changed alot!

We all got taken to shows when we were younger, but Kim was the only one who really enjoyed it. He was actually very successful, so perhaps the judges' never gave him any intelligence tests in the ring! Kim and Angie went to a big Hammersmith show near London once, and we all five went to Darlington where Kim won Best Puppy in Breed and also the Rare Breed Puppy stakes against nine other dogs!

Us girls are always very alert, like we were on this day when we went to the park to meet our new cousin Sunny. We also like to lick people with our tongues, but Kim doesn't like to do that at all - he says it's not a boy thing. He prefers to do adventurous stuff with daddy, like going down the slide!

Mommy and Daddy were very tired after Christmas lunch (1997) (another picture here)

We went to the park to meet Jody, who runs the tibetan-breeds mailing list with Liz. She brought along her Lhasa Apso, Marta. Here's a picture of all of us together when Jody was learning that you can't remove TM undercoat in a short period of time. And here's one taken just a few seconds later. (There's also an identification guide for those who can't work out who is who from the photo). By the end of the day, Jody had fallen in love with Kim - he's such a cutie!
