First thing you must do to survive life with a bull terrier is hang on to your sense of humor.  If you can’t laugh, then you most certainly will not survive.

     Buy cheap furniture so you don’t develop an attachment.  Bully owners lose more furniture to their dogs.  Yes, I have lost a bent wood rocker, a few sofas, and several chairs to ours over the last 33 years.

     If you really love the item, it will have a short life span.  They will chew, knock over, break, smash, crunch, maim, anything you think you treasure.  Buy replaceable items, do not waste your money on anything that is not mass-produced.

     Never say never.  “My dog never……..”  They will make a liar out of you every time.

     When least expected, they will trip you, knock you down, or in some way injure you.  Always keep ace bandages and crutches on hand.

     Do not believe anything that tells you a toy is indestructible.  They will find a way.

     That innocent look does not mean they are innocent, start looking for what they’ve destroyed.

      Anyone else have some survival tips?  You all have a good one!
