thinking

This week has been a humdinger. I don't even know really know what that means but i have no more energy to think of anything creative or witty. Tonight I come home from work (TGIF!), only to be welcomed by a dining room floor with several piles of diarrhea with blood in it. Panic time!!! It's...

Tonight Chris and I decided to take Blue and Wellie to the dog park. There's a doggie pool there with a doggie fire hydrant that Wellie loves. I turn it on for him and he runs in an out trying to catch the incoming water. As we're approaching the park, there's an older dog that runs to the...

Upon learning that Purina was taking over Merrick, I was really bothered! I told my husband that we were making a switch that we weren't buying one more bag. I just don't understand. A company with such a high quality food thinking it's a step FORWARD to partner with Purina. Anyways, I emailed...

Hi all, I've read a lot about the benefits of giving your dog a tablespoon of ACV to their food or water and thought I would give it a try. I added just over a teaspoon to his food, thinking of starting him slow to get used to the taste. He ate everything fine but 2 hours after eating I noticed...

So I know I started a thread about Wellie pulling but what happened earlier today takes the cake. We went on our daily walk earlier. Everything was going fine until he saw a group of pigeons congregating around some food. He went after them at full speed, but this time, his harness ripped and...

Hi all, I'm a relatively new mom to a 1.5 year old female english bulldog named Ollie. I've been cleaning Ollie's ears regularly but lately she's been scratching at them a little so I'm thinking I'm not doing a great job. Can someone fill me in on proper ear cleaning techniques? Ollie and I...

Has anyone used the lemon juice method on a brindle or black bully to repel mosquitoes? I don't want to cause her coat to lighten or turn red BUT the mosquitoes around my house are horrendous and since they are attracted to dark colors she's being eaten alive! I am am using an essential oil...

My Archie woke up completely fine this morning. He went outside like normal and was laying in the living room for a bit and when he walked into our kitchen, my son said, "Aww, look at Archie! He's so sleepy he can't open his eyes!" Well, I wish that were the case but sadly, both eyes were...

I am terrible with names. I am probably going to be getting a 7 month old male Bully this afternoon. He hadn't really been named by the people who have had him (long story), but they referred to him as "Lefty" because his left ear is brown. I'm thinking he may be familiar with that name, so I...

VANCOUVER (WTNH) – A Vancouver man is telling his story after fighting a wild cougar with his bare hands to save his little dog that was snatched from their campsite. According to ABC News, 38-year-old Shawn Hanson said it was adrenaline that led him to grab a cougar then punch it in the...

There is a bulldog club about an hour and a half from me. I saw a post from them that they're having a "fun match dog show" I, of course, am going. My question is should I take Henry? It says for fun only and not to bring champion dog winners to the show. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to...

Has anybody heard of this dog food or tried it? I was at my local natural dog food store today and it looks like a really high quality food. I currently have them on fromms but we have tried every grain free flavor and I still have to force jovi to eat. I have been thinking of maybe trying...

Molly loves the water. She is always excited to play! What are some things to be careful with her being in the pool or when we take her to the ocean. I was thinking the pool would be good rehab when her fracture heals.

My Ella has flank alopecia and it's spreading upwards toward her spine. The skin on her flanks was black, but is now starting to lighten up. In some areas it looks like pink skin showing through. Has anyone who's bully had alopecia skin turn more pink, then have the hair grow back? I'm thinking...

Google "Woof Washer 360" Saw it posted on FB and thinking of getting it. Looks kinda cheesy but thinking it would save a ton of time washing the boys and maybe they'd enjoy it for once. What do you guys think? Interesting? or waste of money? Lol..

Help! anxiety, compulsive licking/pacing/rough play a lot of issues going on here. let me try and sum it up best I can. frank is seeming really anxious lately. and for the past few days he won’t hang out with us in the living room. usually every night he’ll come up and snuggle with me on my...

For all of our members in the path of Bill, please stay safe and have an evacuation plan in place for you and your pets. The news had some scary looking storm surges on yesterday. I am thinking of you all and praying that you guys aren't hit too hard!

ah yes... the crazy dog mom behavior continues!! My friend is an absolutely amazing pet portrait artist. All watercolor if you can believe it. I finally got off of her waiting list, and she is currently working on frank. I am just so excited for this, I had to share some progress pictures. here...

So I have noticed that she is ALWAYS hungry. The first thing she does when we let her out is look for left overs in Jovi or Bella's bowl. Which is normal in a puppy. However I am thinking maybe I am not feeding her enough. I feed her 1/4 cups 4 times a day. So essentially I am feeding her a cup...

Hi everyone I am thinking of buying a British bulldog from a family who have two puppies. According to the breeder their family own the parent dogs (pictures seen) and they have two remaining puppies. The puppies had cherry eye which has apparently been operated on and said the will show me...

I have this bike trailer that I tried to sell last year before getting Bruno. Now I'm thinking of keeping it so Bruno can go biking with us.

My 10 month old Olde Engligh Bulldogge has had constant issues with loose stool & diarrhea from the get go. We first had him on TOTW High Prairie and his diarrhea never seemed to go away. We switched him to FROMM lamb and lentil about 2 months ago and it immediately got better, but a couple...

\xzToday was fill with sorrow and joy. The sorrow was due to the death of my neighbor and the joy was a new addition of his English Bulldog to my family. This is the first time of taking care of a Bulldog and have been reading all day of the daily care, etc. So I am expecting the drool, the...

Okay, wanted to update everyone about the skin tag on frank I posted about last week. As the days went on a discovered several more on him. Clusters of cauliflower like skin tag looking things. There were even some in his mouth which obviously alarmed me and led me to make a vet appointment...

Hi, I took George to the vets as I noticed slight hazing in both eyes. The vet said that his eyelids were rolled and causing corneal abrasions. I mentioned in passing that his eye lids drooped down and that I didn't expect that. She agreed looked unsure and checked again. She said that there...

Update from Tripp’s foster momma: Tripp is one sweet Bulldog. He’s young and active and is always up for a good walk around the block. He is completely house trained and crate trained, though it’s just used when he wants it. We are thinking he needs a home without kids because they just...

Well, Finn peed again in bed last night and it seems like he is doing it in his sleep. Usually I can detect him walking around in bed and then "positioning" himself to pee (he did this when he was younger), but I haven't noticed this at all so I'm suspecting that these latest accidents occur...

Are EB's allergic to it? My pups has spots under his arms that are red and itchy.. I've been off and on treating it with Dr Maggie's anti itch, a anti biotic spray and sometimes coconut oil.. I put a good amount on the spots an hour ago, and no itching.. Thinking to just use that and hope he...

Hi All! I have a couple questions about potentially changing Effie's food. When we first got her at 9 weeks she was eating Nutro Max. We gradually changed her over to Blue Buffalo Wilderness Bison (for puppies). She seems to really love the food, and her stools were harder (she had very soft...

Does your pup suckle? Chuck will lay in his bed and suckle the side of it.. Even move his paws like he's kneading.. Is this common? I knew a Boston terrier ( who was atleast 10) who would do this to a little football for hours.. Thought he was taken away from mum too early.. Thinking maybe...

Hi Everyone, I have an issue with my EB Bella on our walks. She loves to go on walks, with one condition...She picks the direction...EVERY TIME!! If I try to go a direction she doesn't agree with, yep, she plants it and just stares at me..LOL At first I thought she just wanted to explore...

Hello everyone. I'm Laura from Tennessee. I have been a member of the site for 5 days now. Sorry I didn't intro myself right away. I am mourning the loss of my precious bullie and not thinking clearly. I'm so glad that I finally found this site but heartbroken that my very first post here, was a...

I've been thinking of getting some kind of interactive puzzle for Castor, but am not sure what type would work. Has anyone tested something like this wooden puzzle? Can a bulldog pick up treats from a puzzle like this?

Recently, I was talking with Bella's breeder and he mentioned that he thinks she could show. He's always said that he thinks she is show quality, but he wants her to mature some more to be sure. So, I'm thinking it might be a fun thing to try out. I'd like to wait to spay Bella. She's exactly 6...

Hello everyone! I am just looking for some opinions about crate training Boss. We have not started yet because I had not decided wether I was going to do it or not....but now I am definitely thinking that it wont hurt anything,it will be useful at some point in his life, and since hes still...

My whole world was turned upside down. I know that many of the members here have gone through this, but what I learned from this past weekend is to live every day like it is your last because it very well could be. I was on vacation this past week and when I returned this past Friday, I received...

Frank has been on so many antibiotics at such a young age, I’m worried about his gut flora and the good bacteria. I know how important it is for his immune system and whatnot. I haven’t spoken to my vet about this yet, but I’m thinking I’d like to start giving something to frank. I don’t...
