Oh my, I have really enjoyed reading all of your stories! It makes me even more eager to add an english bulldog to my family! In the meantime, I get by by looking at all of your beautiful pictures and reading all of your awesome (and sometimes funny) stories! I do have 2 pugs and a newfoundland. They do seem to know when someone is not feeling well. If one of my 3 boys aren't feeling well, and are laying down on the couch, both pugs will lay on them all day long and Teddy Bear (my newfie) will stay right on the floor shoved right up against their couch. None of them will leave their side! Dogs are just amazing and caring creatures! God bless them! What would we do without them!:D
