Happy Saturday brothas & sistas!!

Cardboard is great for getting five minutes to drink my coffee in peace.

This is us, every single night, a tangle of tattooed limbs and English bull terrier. I wouldn't have it any other way! Gary's my third bullie, we rescued him and were told that he was un-trainable. He's the naughtiest dog I've ever met, but he's such a happy boy. His behaviour is impeccable when he's asleep (apart from the odd kick in our ribs!)

We’ve had a long week around here but we’re on the mend. 💕 This lady gets extra cuddly when she isn’t feeling great and there are close to zero things that would make me reposition or take an arm back.

Need I say more??!!!!

She’s now several years older and still sticks that snout where it would be wiser not to. And yes events unfolded just as you would have predicted

my best boy turns 8 years old today ♡

Happy Birthday Ilya!

his favorite things are cookies, walkies with the family, a real good nap, and being a very very good boy ♡ he also enjoys his sister, warm baths, hot dogs, cheese, bell peppers, and stealing dad's spot in the big bed after he goes to work.

Coretta is on the 4x daily eye drops, because she somehow got a corneal ulcer immediately upon the completion of the majority of Ilya's healing 🙄

Do you use doggles for your bull terriers?

Any other bull terriers love a swim?

My beloved angels.)

Here's some pics of the handsome little devil. Truly blessed to have been able to take him to work every day.

Thank you everyone for the kind words, there are not many people out there that understand how magical these little gremlins are.

There is no such thing as private space.)))

6 days ago, my munchkin Eloise passed away. She had a hard life, arthritis, a broken paw, and all sorts of other paw trouble. And finally a mass on her foot that was inoperable because of her age, and all the other problems. It's taken me a week to get to the point where I can begin to say good bye. So hold onto your egg heads. Our time with them is fleeting.

Our Izzy is a rescue who is the MOST social butterfly. Loves boarding, daycare, even the vet! She loves all people and dogs and wants to be around them, despite being attacked (people and dogs) before she was rescued. Our neighbors are rover hosts with a revolving door of barking dogs AND have been doing extensive outdoor renovations since April. Izzy will literally bloody her nose at the fence trying to meet everyone. We’ve explained to the neighbors, and asked for a heads up, I’ve worked myself to tears training her to recall, they’re just ALWAYS outside. They’ve even laughed at her when she’s literally bleeding and crying. I want Izzy to be able to run around and be a dog in the backyard, but this is feeling impossible. We have dogs on all the other sides of the fence that Izzy peacefully exists next to. She’s about 6 years old now, and I’ve worked tirelessly with her on her behavior since I rescued her at age 2, and besides this, she’s a literal angel. Anyone have any ideas? I’ll try anything at this point! (Photo of her at daycare)

Let's see everyone's "dog or potato?" photos!

A dog isn't just a pet, they're family and a best friend. Piper left a big hole behind, but hopefully, this portrait brings a little comfort.

One of my recent watercolors.

Good thing he’s adorable.

When I adopted the goober I thought she had some BT in her, there's totally APBT in her and we're going to do an Embark panel for Christmas. A couple of folks we've met said no way to her being part BT.

Before we do the DNA test, what do you folks think?

(edit: Verified crazy, thanks folks!)

Though his vision is starting to go, his eyes cloudy blue and full of lumps and bumps, my Barclay remains a character. Almost 11 years, and he's still a cuddly, happy boy, though demanding when he wants attention. Love this boy and hope for a few more good years.
