New bully owner, we rescued a 2-3 year old EB about 2 weeks ago. She's very enthusiastic first thing in the morning - snuffling and snorting and she goes running through the house then she mellows out. For the rest of the day she spends it watching me make her food, eating her food or sleeping. She'll get up every once and a while and will just sit and stare into nothingness for a long period. I have never heard her bark, growl or whine. The only noise she makes is her snorting and snuffling. She's very mellow and submissive, she'll patiently let me poke and prod her for all her daily maintenance of wrinkle cleaning, eye treatments, skin treatments, foot soaking, etc. We have another dog who was not at all pleased when Daisy joined our family and she would growl and snap at her. Daisy would just crawl on her belly and be as inoffensive as possible. The other dog is coming around finally and sniffing her and let Daisy sniff her back (big progress, she never lets anyone sniff her). Daisy was checked out at the vet, no sickness or parasites but definitely under-fed, she was very skinny for a bulldog.
I am wondering what kind of toys might interest her or how I can draw her into play. I worry about her being bored. I tried a Nylabone but she was not interested in it at all. She got a big rawhide bone that she'll chew on a little but will otherwise ignore. She's a rather careful eater - chews her food and carefully chews up any bones in her meal instead of attempting to wolf it down. She likes pets and cuddles, she'll come find me to get pets through out the day. She doesn't like to go outside, she will go into the yard to do her business then run directly back to the door.
