Spring Saturday Surprise

Mama brought me to meet a couple of new friends,
people friends and dog friends:
The bully in the picture is named Norm, he's pretty cool,
his Mom is Miss JMo and she hosted a fabulous lunch and
organized the dog get-together. I also met Miss Michelle
who has a dog but didn't bring him. And I met

Auntie CET again, and her dog Chili.

I know Mama was hoping that I would
behave myself around the new dogs.
But truth is, I like being a bitch. I don't know why.
I got into a few arguments with Norm, and we tussled.
I'm sorry Norm, I'll try to be a nice girl next time.
But no promises.

Chili is a Westie, and he loves to sniff bums.
I think he was trying hard to get me to play with him,
but you know me, I'm a little too into myself to want to play
with other dogs. He did get a bit bitey when I went over
to see if I could get a piece of the biscuit he was waiting for.

Mama said I was embarrassing her the whole time,
because I don't know how to act like a normal dog.
I can't help it if I'm totally selfish with anger management issues.
I think I'm very much like supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Thank you Miss JMo and Mr M for hosting what
should have been a lovelier afternoon of a dog party
if I had behaved like a good girl and not like my usual self.
Mama apologizes for the crappy turnout of the photos,
juggling me and a camera that doesn't work is not easy.

This Again...

Something big came for me again in the mail,
maybe Auntie Angela and Uncle Andy are in there...
maybe they even brought Kunou!

Ok there is a Live Animals sticker...
I know they can't be referring to me.

Oh it's a crate. And it smells like plastic.
I don't like where this is going.

Mama tried to make it all friendly and a lot
less scary for me with my blanky and some toys.
There's even a Kong with peanut butter in there.

This must be an April Fool's joke, because
she's got to be crazy thinking I'm actually going to get in there.

Spring Fever

So you remember how I mentioned last February 2,
that I wasn't going to mention anything about it?
Yah well I must have jinxed it right,
because spring is here in spirit,
but it's not really here in body!

Spring is ushering in like a lion this year.
Do you think I look like a lion?
Better than last time?
I'm so sick of winter.
Peeing in the snow with too much
cold near the sensitive areas is
not my idea of a good time.

Woofstock Moment 3

I know I usually post about being snappy

at the Bulldog Meetups, and in case you

didn't know, I really can be quite snappy.

Mama and Papa get quite embarrassed.

But here's photographic evidence that I can be nice too.

Look at all the friends I made.

Of course I did get grumpy later on, but that was much later.

And fortunately for me, there's no evidence of that.

May's Bulldog Meetup

We spent another beautiful afternoon at Riverdale Park!
Unfortunately there weren't too many bulldogs there.
They must have all gone somewhere else for the long weekend.

This is Oscar, he's only 1 years old.
He's new to the meetups.
He tried humping my head.

These guys were playing with each other a lot.
No one wanted to play with me,
because every time they'd come near me,
I'd snap at them. I'm a bad ass.

Do you see the big dog in the middle
doing the head butt with Oscar?
That's Lucy, she's just a baby boxer.
She was really playful with everyone,
except me, because I would snap at her.
I'm a bad ass.

I think I'm just better with people friends,
not so much with dog friends.
But Mama and Papa will continue to try to make
me have dog friends. So I will continue to be an ass
whenever I go to these meetups.
I wonder who will give in first?
I'm pretty stubborn you know.

April Bulldog Meetup

There was a Bulldog meetup last week
that we were supposed to go to.
But Mama and Papa had tickets to the
Raptors first playoff game instead.
So we went to the one this weekend.
It's been a long time since I've hung out with other dogs.

Someone had a balloon and foolishly let it go
when they saw me coming for it.
The balloon floated away and I started running for it.
I could hear Mama and Papa calling for me,
but their voices got quieter the further I ran.

I jumped for the ball and it popped in my mouth!

This is Daisy. She's chubby!

This is Lola. She is shy.

This is Georgie. She is a scrapper like me.
She kept following me around, like she wanted to start something.
If Papa had let go of my leash, I might have let her have a try.

This is Rodeo. He is a 4 month old baby.

I was really tired and kind of grumpy
after running for that balloon.
I saw Rodeo go for a drink in the
blue dish that I wanted to chew on.
I got a bit overprotective, charged at him, and bit him on his face.
I got into big trouble and Mama and Papa
scolded me in front of everyone.
Mama was so embarrassed and quickly went
over to see if the puppy was okay.
I think I may have hurt his eye, but his Mama said it was fine.
I feel bad now. I'm sorry Rodeo. I hope we can still be friends.

It Smells Like Spring Time

Daylight savings time came 3 weeks earlier this year.
Did you remember to change your clocks last night?
I am so tired after losing that extra hour of beauty sleep.
I like that it's bright and sunny outside this weekend.
Papa got some melon from the market,
and Mama is teasing me with it from behind the glass door.

She thinks this is hilarious.
I think it's so cruel.
But she did end up giving me a bite to eat.
I can't wait until summer time when all kinds of fruit are in season!

Miss Manners

I may not be, but you should have seen this one dog I met this morning!

So I'm out having my morning walk, doing my morning routine. I just finished peeing on the usual spot, and was sniffing around the usual tree to get ready to have a poo. When all of a sudden, this unleashed little white dog with dyed blue and green ears and tail comes running over and barks in my face! I'm trying to take a dump in peace and he ruins my concentration!

Anyway, he barks and stares and wags his tail nervously. I just stare at him while Mama is saying soothing things in my ear thinking I'd eat him if he got any closer. I just wanted to see what he was all about, in a friendly way. But as soon as I tried to go over, he freaked out! And snarled and barked some more. That was a weird encounter. But the even weirder thing is that there was another dog across the street and he ran over there to do the same thing to the other dog too! So bizarre!! That blue and green eared-tailed monster needs a bell around his neck to warn other dogs of his arrival. Needless to say I didn't get to poo, and now I feel all stuffed up and grumpy.

August's Bulldog Meetup

It's that time of the month again, Bulldog Meetup time!

This is Zoe, you'll see more of her later on. She's very feisty, like me!

I just don't really get how these bullies can play wrestle like that.
With all of the toys lying around, how do they resist them?

Yup, I bit my tongue again. Same place as last time.
I was fighting over a toy. I had to take a time out.

Look how small this puppy is!
I can't believe I used to be that size before.

We took a break from all of the other dogs to play on the slide.
Getting up to the top was a little tough, so I had a little bit of help from Papa.

I also needed a little bit of help coming down too. I was scared!

This is feisty Zoe again. We seemed cool with each other for a few minutes, but I'm not quite sure what happened next, because she turned and we fought a little.
I guess we were both having bad days.

This actually looks much worse than it really is. It's mostly snot with a little bit of blood! It doesn't hurt at all, but it does look kind of scary. I'm OK though. Mama and Papa are a bit frustrated with me because I like to fight so much. They don't know what to do, but they'll keep taking me back to the Meetups for the socialization.
I think I was just having a grumpy day.

July's Bulldog Meetup

It's that time of the month again: Bulldog Meetup Day! This time it was held indoors at Petopia where there is lots of air conditioning. Because if you know anything about bullies, you know we need that air con more than you do!

Here I am meeting some bullies for the second time. The brindle girl with the pink collar is Ruby, and she's a show girl! I don't remember the name of the white bully in the back, but we didn't really get on that well. The brown and white one in the front is Brioche, and we didn't get on so well either. I must admit, I am a toy hog and I can get quite aggressive with my toys. So when I don't share, I usually get into fights. Nobody wins because we end up getting pulled off each other by our parents.

Here is a picture of my war wounds, I bit my tongue. Or maybe someone else bit my tongue. Papa made me take a time out.

This guy looks scared of me, but I was really nice to him.
He's just a baby.

I don't know who this little girl is, but she was very fond of Mama. She kept coming over to Mama and putting her head on Mama's lap.
Maybe she could smell the lung treats that were hiding in Mama's pockets?

This orange ball with legs was very squeaky. It was the source of the two fights I got into, and caused other fights with some of the other bullies. Everyone wanted to play with it!

It's a game of tag!

How many bullies can you see?
Shortly after this pic, I got into my second fight. My face was bleeding quite a bit, but Mama washed it clean. I had to take another time out.

See? All better.

Remember this beautiful face from Woofstock?

Lots of puppies playing too!

Even though there was air conditioning, it was very hot and I was very thirsty.

This is Daisy, she's a toy hog too! But maybe not as bad as me, because she'll play tug with other dogs, and I don't. Check out her stylish pink toes!

I am guarding my tug toy, no one else can have it.
It's come to my attention that I have some behavioural issues that need to be addressed. Mama and Papa have agreed that I need to do more socializing. I suppose that means I need to find some dog friends. I don't know about you, but dogs smell funny. People are so much better to hang out with! But I'll try my best to be a good girl with other doggies. It'll be hard to break bad habits!
