So hubby came home from shopping for our trip today. He threw a Petsmart bag at me and grinned. Apparently he's feeling guilty too...Belle got a new chew toy, three new toys, an antler, AND a new collar :ROFL:

He seems to be very familiar with bulldogs. In fact their mascot is a bulldog :) I'll make sure to stress the importance of no heat, wrinkle cleaning, etc. I feel like I'm leaving my kid for the first time!

Next Thursday we are flying to Florida to spend a week at Disney World. The kids are SO excited and we can't wait. The only hard part is that Belle will have to be boarded while we are gone. We don't have any family local and no friends that I would trust enough with her. We are taking her to a...

Whoa. I've heard of the rare bulldog colors but I had no idea they cost that much. Belle is actually considered a blue fawn....normally she just looks like a regular brown and white but in the sun she has a slight silver sheen to her brown parts. Her eyes are also lighter than most. From what I...

LOVE the pics! We have a pool too and I plan to let Belle swim this weekend. She has a life jacket of course but I still watch her like a hawk. Bulldogs love water but definitely weren't built for swimming :p

Belle could easily pass everything except 6 and 9...she's jumpy and dropping a chair near her would probably result in a heart attack :o

How odd! My girl doesn't have this issue but given how stubborn bullies can be it doesn't surprise me. Belle is only 45 lbs so I can pick her up if she gets stubborn and refuses to go somewhere. Is that an option for you? It sounds like he knows that he can get away with it which is probably...

I bought Belle a new kind of food and didn't realize it had grain, which she is allergic to. She developed bare spots, itched a lot, and would drag her face all over the carpet after a meal. Since swapping to a grain free flavor all of those symptoms have gone away.

I made Belle a cake for her first birthday. She's allergic to grain so most of the traditional recipes wouldn't work. I made up my own recipe and it turned out great. 1/2 banana 1/2 cup shredded sweet potato (could also use plain canned pumpkin) 2 T peanut butter (all natural-no sugar added) 1...

Thanks! I totally invented the recipe LOL. She's super allergic to most dog cake recipes so I made it up as I went. It was 1 banana, 1/4 cup of natural peanut butter, 1 egg, 1/2 sweet potato grated, and a tablespoon of coconut oil. I baked that until it set and then we topped it with frosting...

Nope. It's not required where we live.

Hello and welcome! Your baby is adorable! :)

As a police wife, I thank you!

Today our beautiful girl turned 1! I know how you guys love pictures so here are some from her special day :) She started the morning with a butt scratch from Dad.... And a cup of coffee... That was exhausting so then it was time for a nap Mom insisted on birthday selfies... Maaaa...

Belle's previous owner didn't do anything for her as far as grooming. We got her at 10 months old and she completely panicked at the sight of any grooming tools. I tried all sorts of tactics but it always ended with her cowering, hiding, shaking, etc. Finally I just had to say enough is enough...
