Joy & I were quite taken by the English bulldogs at the show. I suspect that when we're ready for a new dog, we might take on a rescue bulldog.

Bacon and his Bone

Bacon and his Bone

Bacon has had this bone since February. He hides it, then a few hours later "finds" it again, before marching around the house with it for a few minutes looking for a new hiding place. Ad nauseam.

My parents' dogs got similar bones, which they devoured in five minutes flat. I like to think that Bacon's just making economical use of the entertainment value of his bone.

Stair navigation avec balloon

Bacon attempts to climb the stairs whilst gripping between his teeth a balloon larger than his stumpy little legs. Lots of fun to watch.

Mr. Dogg manicly rushing around chasing a big balloon, which has already become his new favourite toy. Until it bursts, which it is bound to do in about 5 minutes, the way he's attacking it.
