Living with Bull Terriers, an owner’s survival guide.
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!
Not a dog for everyone
My doctor has his own emergency clinics. This is a good thing because they take you as a walk in any time during the day and up until eleven at night at the one we tend to go to when we need urgent care. When I show up there, they will ask us what the dogs did this time…
As Bull Terrier owners the need for urgent care comes up often. You never know when one will knock you over and cause you a sprained something or other. When they wham you with their cement block heads a broken nose, a black eye, or even a concussion is not out of the realm of possibility.
My dogs have managed to sprain my ankles, wrists, and shoulders. I have skinned knees, fallen ass over tin cups, and I am covered with bruises from them on a daily basis.
These dogs are not for the faint of heart. They are definitely not for everyone. Don’t let their looks and company manners fool you, they are an army of Ninjas out to wreak havoc on humans.
She almost broke her brother…
I had Gavin and Patty out in the yard yesterday and they were enjoying this new freedom they have with the new fence. Patty especially enjoys it, she loves to run flat-out around and around the entire yard.
Well, she was doing one of her flat-out runs when I noticed she was heading directly for me and Gavin who was sniffing about the grass near my feet. Gavin, oblivious to her impending collision, kept at his sniffing.
I, on the other hand, quick to surmise impending doom, dashed to one side to escape catastrophe. Patty failed to swerve the last-minute, as one of her predecessors was wont to do, and tried to leap over Gavin.
As you can see, I said ‘tried,’ the attempt was unsuccessful she hit him with her knees on the way over and almost went ass over tin cups. The sound of the impact made me cringe. Gavin uttered not a peep. While I asked Patty if she was trying to break her brother.
Gavin headed inside. I don’t blame him. The yard would also seem less fun to me if I’d been freight trained. I called Patty in from yet another high-speed circuit of the yard.
Opening the kitchen door to let both dogs in, I couldn’t suppress my giggles as I hollered to The Curmudgeon that his baby girl had tried to break her brother.
You all have a good one!
If you are at Silverwood, say hi!
I should’ve made tonight picture night, then I wouldn’t be sitting here frantically typing whatever comes into my head, so I can go to bed early, so I can get up early to go to the Silverwood Dog Show. There are times that I do enjoy a good run-on sentence.
I am looking forward to meeting some FB friends at the show. I do hope you all remember to stop me and tell me who you are. 😀 Just keep your eyes open for:
and
You all have a good one!
