If good things come in small packages, big things must arrive in a wagon! Meet Sophie Lynn, a rather large, robust lady who seems to be about as stubborn as a mule when it comes to moving, walking, or doing anything that requires much activity, except eating and she loves to eat.Sophie Lynn is 2 and is as sweet and precious as they come. She does prefer being carried to walking, and she prefers to rest and not play much. After observing her walking, I do believe she has a torn ACL. Or, she just hobbles because sheās so largeā¦which weāll be addressing. Either way, Sophie Lynn should get a award in cuteness because she is one cute lady!1/6/18 Update: I must be just about the happiest girl in rescue at the moment. My bum wiggles and wiggles. Sometimes, it wiggles when it has nothing to wiggle about! Life is a box of Benebones, and you never know what youāre going to get. And I just love life. Foster Mum says I look like a barrel on four legs. OK, that sounds great! Who wouldnāt want to look like a barrel? She says I donāt walk, but waddle. That makes me special, so I like that I waddle and look like a barrel on four legs. Then she brought out this thing called a leash, and I finally discovered something in this life that I donāt really fancy: walks. It was a battle of wills, and I won! No walk! Yet one more thing for my bum to wiggle about. She said I won the battle, but not the war. Huh? Iām a lover, not a fighter. (Still, no walk!)Well, I just wanted to introduce myself, but Iāll have more to report later! Right now Iām going to go do one of my favorite things: curl up in the bed for a snooze.
1/14/18 Update: Remember me? Foster mum has decided to call me āSedentary Sophie.ā What can I say? I never met a bed I didnāt like. You might see me at todayās Bulldog Bonanza at Shadyās Burgers in Richardson. It depends on whether I can be peeled off a bed. Did I mention Iām stubborn?
1/19/18 Update: Foster girl Sophie Lynn is wearing her wide receiver tee today. Sheās all suited up for a football matchā¦. except she, um, prefers wagons to exercise. Oh, well. She still looks the part.
1/30/18 Update: Hi everyone! Itās Sophie Lynn here. Iāve been a busy girl. I got to go to our rescue event at that yummy smelling burger joint called Shady Burgers. I got the VIP treatment and got carried out of there. Now thatās service! I think Iāll be a return visitor. You see, foster mum named me Sedentary Sophie. It fits me, you know? Who needs movement when you can be carried. Or at least thatās what I say. I love my R&R so much that the first thing I do when I enter a room is find the bed. In fact, I think if foster mum took me to a stadium, Iād find the only bed in thereā¦except if itās in the bleachers. Who needs steps when the artificial turf probably feels just fine!
Whereās my furever family? Youāre out there. I know it. Youāre the one that wants a lazy, lump of a love. For Valentineās Day, I suggest. Iām simple with few demands. I only want a soft bed to lie in and a family to call my own. Thatās all. Foster mum says Iām one of the sweetest Bulldogs sheās fostered. (Also the stubbornest but never mind about that.) Anyway, I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentineās Day. Iāll be back next week to say it again.
3/4/18 Update: Lifeās good. Well, except for the diet foster mum insists on keeping me on. Good news though! Iāve heard people say Iāve lost weight. Day by day, Iām getting more and more slender. Foster mum still laughs at me, though, because she says I waddle. Iāve heard it said that I probably always will because Iām so broad shouldered and carry so much weight in the front. Iām still a lazy girl who prefers to be carried when I come and go. I feel like a princess like that. I love my beds more than anything else in the world. Are you looking for a Bulldog you can cuddle with on the sofa? If so, Iām your girl.
Since Iāve been in my foster home, other dogs have come and gone. They were all the playful type and loved all the toys in the house. I was grumpy about their presence at the beginning because this is my home, right? I discovered pretty quickly, though, that I didnāt mind their presence at all. In fact, I kind of liked it. I was more engaged in things and played with the toys. So I learned something new about myself. Iāve come to the conclusion that, although being an only dog would be cool, I can actually do really well in a home with other dogs! So thatās my update for now. Signing out now. Love, Sophie Lynn (aka Barrel)
