It’s been a long time

     I am looking forward to going to a dog show on Friday.  It’s a specialty show for Bull Terriers.  The biggest one in the country.  This one moves every year and when it’s this close to home, I can’t resist going.

     A dear friend of mine is driving us down.  I’m glad she is because she knows how to get there better than I do.  I’m looking forward to seeing some old dog show friends and meeting some new ones.

     Silverwood here we come!

     You all have a good one!

Silverwood is almost here

     Suddenly I have plans to go to the Silverwood.  For those of you who don’t have Bull Terriers, it is the biggest specialty show of the year for Bullies.  It travels so sometimes we do get a chance to go to it.  This year it is in Gettysburg and my friend Linda and I have decided to go for one day on the 13th.

     If you are going, look for us.  We’ll be wandering around without our dogs, snapping tons of pictures, and oohing and awing over all the bullies.

     I can’t wait to see all my FB Bully Lover friends.  If it is chilly, I’ll be the one in the black hoodie with the voodoo doll on it.  😀

I love these two nuts

Silliness abounds even where there are grownups…

 

     I am amazed at what can entertain grownups for hours.  I am included in that group only by age…I refuse to grow up.  Anyway, a group I belong to on Facebook got started on Frankenweenie-fying our dogs.  It’s a riot and addictive.  By the time I got away from the page to work on this, our group had 62 of our dogs and two people Frankenweenie-fied.

     The pictures are so silly most of us spent the night giggling like fools.  Yes, it is amazing what we can find amusing.

     You all have a good one!

 

Gavin the chicken dog strikes again.

It wasn’t fair that I woke him from a sound sleep.  He was on his back, all four feet in the air, snoring to beat the band when I poked my finger into the crate and tickled his back foot.

“Want to go for a ride in the car?”  (No, I didn’t tell him we were going to the Vet’s office.)

He jumped awake all ready to go.  I don’t know why he loves going for a ride since it usually is to the Vet’s office.

Soon we were seated in the waiting room with him trying to make himself very small so he could hide under the seat.  It never works, but he still tries every time we’re there.

Blood drawn, shots done,  and soon he’s happily waiting in the car for me to pay the bill.  Another check up done–he’s fine.

You all have a good one.

Another bath? Really?

Patty hates water (except to drink it)  and she hates baths most of all.  She got two baths because after the first one she rolled in the mud outside.  Now she’s busy plotting her revenge on me.

     You all have a good one!

Be patient dear furry ones

I’ve had my heart stretched to its limits lately.  It seems all the Bullies I know are getting older, many have health problems, and many have left us in the last couple of months.

It’s tough when it is human family, and I have very few of them left.  However, when our pets hurt we’re helpless.  They can’t tell us if they hurt, where they hurt, or what is wrong.  It’s all guesswork and a sad state of affairs if we get it wrong.  Dear ones, we are trying to do what is best for you.  Have patience with us and our love that makes us cling to you.

For those who are waiting on the bridge…be patient dear ones we’ll be there soon enough.

Owie footie.

    I’ve heard of so many Bull Terriers dying over the past couple of weeks that it breaks my heart.  It also make me worry more and more about my sweet pups.  Gavin is now ten going on eleven and Patty is somewhere around the seven or eight year mark.

     Right now, Gavin has a very sore paw because he cracked another claw lengthwise…again.  He’s done this for what seems like forever.  He has always the weirdest claws of any BT I ever had or knew.

      Of course, we are spoiling him rotten, and doing our best to make him more comfortable.  As a typical Bullie he’s taking full advantage of the situation.

     You all have a good one!

“I is keeping my sore footie elevated…would you please cover me so I can nap?”

Too tired to post…Enjoy the pics!

Five minutes or less toys for the dogs

     I don’t know how many times I’ll have to tell The Curmudgeon not to buy cheap ass toys for Gavin and Patty.  He came home with two today.  They lasted all of about five minutes.  The pups had a blast but then we had to trash the new toys. 

     New rules:

     1. Never buy dog toys in the drug store

     2. If the toy is cheap, it will fall apart

     3. Never let Gavin have the toys first. 

     4. Never buy just one toy   There’s nothing left for Patty if you do.  Good thing you bought two toys.

  You all have a good one!

Not a picture day.

     Every time I tried to snap some pictures of the pups yesterday they managed to dodge out of focus just as the shutter clicked.  This was not a catch your dogs doing something cute sort of day as it turned out. 

     Gavin snoozed on the couch, I reached for my camera, turned it on and *poof* he was standing next to me.  I turned to snap a picture of Patty on the settee and she’d already left it before I could push the button.

     I keep hoping I can catch them doing something cute.  Maybe tomorrow.

     You all have a good one!

Low and slow day

      I kept a low profile yesterday.  After not getting any rest at the hospital I needed some.  Of course, having two dogs who missed me, didn’t help in the getting some rest department.  LOL!  Oh, well gots to love the babies.

     “Mommy is home.  We can go out every five minutes?”  Gavin rings the bells to go out repeatedly.

      “No.”

     “We can have what you have?”  Patty and Gavin try to climb into my lap while I eat a yogurt.

     “No.”

     “We can both sit in your lap?”  They bicker for spot on me rather than next to me on the couch.

     “No.  Get off.”  I take inventory of all my new bruises.

     You all have a good one!
