KING OLLIE HOUSE of BULLDOG
Well-known member
Let me begin by assuring you that on some level I do know that Ollie is not a real child. I really do. But, Iām like a maternal kind of person. I taught emotionally disturbed children for ten years. Then I spent seventeen years as a middle school principal. And I have two grown children and 5 grandchildren. And three dogs. Ollie is the baby boy dog. My husband and I are retired. Except for when we travel weāre home 24/7. Iāve always got someone, including my husband and Ollie to baby and nurture and mother. Whew, that was long, but I wanted to paint an accurate picture.
Iām maybe seeing that Ollie is very dependent on us. He sort of clings to us. Heās very very sweet and gentle. He likes to sit or lay on my lap. He canāt fit up in the chair with my husband anymore. The boys next door come over and hug and love on him and just sit with him on the driveway. Our other two dogs are small and canāt really play with Ollie the right way. Theyāre sometimes really mean to him, but he never holds a grudge.
So, Iām thinking about putting Ollie in doggie daycare for two mornings a week. I want him to have an opportunity to play with some other real, kind of bigger, rougher playing dogs. But...I donāt want him to change, to become rambunctious or aggressive. Iām afraid he might get hurt because heās too big for the little dogs, but too young and smallish for the big dogs at daycare. I recently remember reading here about 2 bullies getting thrown out of daycare for fighting.
I want him to have an outlet and learn about other dogs in the world and not constantly be home with two overprotective old people and two sissy boy fluffy dog brothers. I want him to have an opportunity to be the dog he was bred to be.
I am apprehensive about exposing him to potential not nice dogs, getting hurt or picking up other dog germs.
Iām really not crazy, I just need some advice. I want a happy, healthy, well balanced bully boy.
