It was three weeks ago today we went to meet our big smoosh Bulldozer Bawss. If you are new to our story, a few weeks back we saw an ad online for a bulldog up for adoption and we were so moved by the photos as he looked so much like our Penelope. After exchanging a few emails we discovered the puppies were littermates. Of course it was love at first sight for us, and for Penelope and Dozer it was a joyous reunion. I know in my heart they remembered each other and they were instantly inseperable.
The first week was pretty crazy! The puppies could barely sleep they were sooooo excited to be together. Penelope was to be spay before Christmas but was postponed as she had a cold. Two days after Dozer came home, Penny went in to her first heat and it was two more days before Dozer was neutered. The surgery went well and his recovery was remarkable. He came to us with infected eyes and three claws cut in to the quick. He has recovered from these things but on friday we were advised he has hip dysplacia. He is just 10 months old and not showing any signs of discomfort nor is his mobility effected but of course we are worried for him. We will follow up with the specialist in August and decide treatment from there.
In Dozer's former home, he had been alone for ten hours a day, six days a week. For the first ten days or so with us, he could not be alone, and he could not be without Penelope. He would whine and whimper for me if I was in another room even. He is a very vocal bulldog! He makes noise all the time - he barks and he whimpers and he cries. Oh and he sings too when my youngest plays the harmonica.
Dozer had adjusted amazingly well. It feels like he has always been with us, and certainly always meant to be with us. From the very first day he came in and made himself at home, both in our house and in our hearts. We feel so very blessed to have found him and to have him be part of our family. I can't even say how much it warms my heart to see these two dogs love each other so much.
And of course the thread is so much better with photos!
