Worst dog breed ever.....

[ajwhitt44]

.....for ME!!!

Haha no I am really just kidding.. But all joking aside, I have been known to be a little bit of a hypochondriac. Which means I tend to worry about every little thing and make problems out to be bigger than they actually are. So why on EARTH would I get a dog that:

• has more little problems than most dogs (breathing problems, hip problems)
• has daily maintenance needs (butt wiping, wrinkle wiping, yeast infections)
• has the inability to last long while playing with other dogs
• sinks instead of swims (i'm working on this)
• cannot stay outside for more than 5 minutes when the temperature is over 75 without 100 cooling apparatuses
• is stubborn as ****
• looks like a shark from underneath
• is incredibly stubborn and barrels through things like a tank

And then I realized the reason is quite simple. It's because of this:

My how I love my little big guy. Stresses me out beyond belief but I wouldn't trade him for anything

It's the mothering syndrome, or for me the Fathering syndrome..... We know they can't survive without us, and we don't trust anyone else to do it, which makes us bond even closer to one another and deep love and admiration.... my only explanation.... hope this helps, cost me a mint with my shrink to get this answer...lol

Love, love love your pic! And I agree with all your reasons!

You just have to look at their little funny old man faces, and you can't help but fall in love. And they are so sweet, gentle, and loving in return.

[MENTION=959]kazzy220[/MENTION] LOL I thought the same thing. I'm gonna kick somebodies A$$. Then I read it. They can have their problems but we love them just the same and wouldn't have it any other way. Besides bullies aren't for everyone, just us crazy bully people.

Lol...right there with ya...about everything!

I got Cami 2 months ago, a very healthy bully without many of the common
bully ailments. Her owners couldn't keep her and I adopted her. She was in heat
(going to spay her) and that and missing her people and a younger bully they kept
sent her into depression and she lay in her crate, stopped eating, etc.

I became convinced she had contracted Pyrometra, a very serious infection and
took her to the Vet...she's in perfect health just like they said...ran bloodwork,
thyroid, etc...but the $200 bought me peace of mind!

They do cause hypocondria in their owners!

​Thanks for the pic of handsome Brembo, he's all growed up!

 

[AubreysMom]

Oh my! Look how much he's grown! How old is Brembo now? He's such a handsome boy. I totally understand what you mean. Ever since our first bully had complications and had to go to the Rainbow Bridge, we have been paranoid about Aubie. Luckily, she just has the normal bully needs and has been healthy. I wouldn't trade her for the world no matter what though. It is impossible to not fall in love with these sweeties!

 

[xsubsailor]

LOL, I don't have any kids but I now know why my sister laughed when I told her that I got a bulldog puppy.
I love every second of it tho.

So much truth, bullies are NOT for everyone, but I can't imagine not coming home to the truffle shuffle wiggle dance ever again!!

That is actually what Tucker’s first vet said to me when I brought him in for a check up at 8 weeks old. “Did you research EB before buying one” she asked. I explained I did in fact and that my mom has had one for 8 years that I love to bits. “worst breed ever, a complete disaster” she said back <wowwwa> I thought, did she just say that straight faced to me. I replied back, but you can’t beet a EB personality... no reply. She obviously has a personality disorder and we are searching for a new vet.

I love your post. All true but oh so many moments of pure joy with them. I can't imagine my life without my babies now.
