12/28/10. When you leave your bulldog at home, do they get free roam of your house?

"We wanna know! Really, we wanna know!"

Yep the boys can do whatever they want although I am pretty sure all they do is sleep while we are gone. They dont even touch their food or water until we get home usually. lol

 

[Bella'sMom]

We are the same way, they even get the bed. However they mainly sleep.

 

[bulldogcrazytime]

We have "bully-proofed" our house so it is safe for them to be home alone, but we do shut the doors to the kids' bedrooms and bathrooms (too many temptations in there!)

Chloe is in a crate, she is still a pup and likes to chew, my fosters are in crates as well. Chunk has free reign of the house.

 

[bfletch13]

We haven't left Jozi home yet. But she will be in a crate when we do.

My pups get the entire downstairs. I put a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs so they can't go upstairs. I do that not because I am afraid that they will have accidents, chew stuff up, etc but because I don't want Samson running up and down the stairs. I know its bad for his hips. Plus he broke his front leg when he was a pup and has pins in the joint. I fear he and Loki will be playing, running up and down the stairs and he will be acting crazy and rebreak his leg.

Mack could be left in the house alone no problem, but Ruggles would chew on the furniture and ingest what he could (we have put away all area rugs). The two of them have their crates in the laundry room with a pet door that goes outside to a fenced dog area. Previous Bulldogs have had free run of the house with access to a pet door always and 5 fenced acres with 600' river front, but not these two!

[MENTION=572]Libra926[/MENTION] that is an awesome picture of them. They are so beautiful! I cannot get Brodie and Lola still enough to do that. As soon as I grab the camera Brodie comes a running! I am going to try hard over the weekend so I can post some pics of my babies!

 

[2bulliefamily]

Lola gets the house and Brodie my bathroom! Lola is such a good girl and we have never come home to an accident (well maybe a few times) nor has she gotten ahold of anything she shouldn't. She mostly sleeps ALL day! brodie, probably going to be a long time before he can do that. Still a puppy and you really have to keep an eye on him or he will chew on furniture, shoes, toys, etc!

I wish I could take credit for the photo, but it is not mine..nor are the dogs. Those beautiful baby's names are Chas and Bigi. The photo belongs to [MENTION=1539]sheila[/MENTION].

[Gertie's Mom]

My girls are still crate-babies. They're only 7 months old, so they go to their beds when I'm not home.
2bulliefamily: I know exactly what you're going thru! It's only been the last couple months that I started to get Gertie and Ida to sit still and be in a semi-decent photo TOGETHER.

 

[Lacey28]

Silva has the downstairs area we put the shoe rack in front of the stairs so she cant go up to the bedrooms!

 

[gatorfan85]

Georgia and Beefy roam free while we are gone. Its when people come over that I have to crate Georgia but Beefy's butt head can't be crated because he throws a fit until he breaks out of the crate lol.

 

[KMARINO]

The bathroom and bedroom door is closed other than that he has the whole house like [MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION], when I get home from work he has not touched his water (he gets breakfast before I leave) I think he just snoozes all day.
