Bulldogs and friends ...

This is a little story on how our bulldog and other breed friends have made an impact in our lives.

When we first got involved with the bulldog's we were very anxious to get together socially so we could bond with other play pals. We would attend a few meetups and play dates. It was a ball to see push faced dogs all snorting and playing.

We joined the local Bulldog Club and the National Club too. But we wanted pure fun, not all about the showing. So we decided to find our own fun...

We started a Twitter account so we could meet other friends and have some social media fun. One of our first friends was Falco. He was very funny. We next met Theo. We met him live and in person. His sister Rosie was recuperating so we didn't meet her. Theo is what Mom calls the total package. He is beautibull and entertaining. His bowl tricks are very cool. We watch his Vine video's often.

Then came the rest of the story. Over the next year we have met online and in person several bulldog families. We have laughed together and cried together, we have exchanged vet info, food info, home remedy, and most of all friendship.

Everyone has been a great blessing to us. Our local friends here in the Tampa area have been just a message away.

A bulldog family even helped when Mom started a new business.  After months of licensing and planning and much bone money, she was ready. On a visit to her new incubator location, she went to make something for the local friend in town, only to discover the doors were locked and no one could get it. Thankfully this happened when it did before that bone money turned into 10,000 x's Bone money.

It was a $$$ setback, but I gave her more bone money, and she was able to find a new incubator location (Cupcake, Pies, Cake-pops, Dog treats business) that was right before the accident.

Those same friends offered to assist us if we needed anything during our accident days. Many thanks to Theo and Rosie/family.

I bring this up because that is what I think of all the time when we are twittering and tweeting. The small things that MEAN a lot!! When I was interviewed about my social media and the twitter friends, I could only boost about the positives. We keep pictures of our buddies on our desk (yes we share one desk) and we laugh and smile when we read their daily activities.

As we begin to close this post, we want to say one thing. We love all animals, reptiles (turtles only) and some super cool mammals... However, our bulldog friends are near the top. Owning a bulldog is expensive, time consuming, heart wrenching, nerve wracking and so many other issues, I wouldn't trade it for the world. We have an unique breed, we need many friends to take this journey with us.

All we ask is you keep our wrinkles in your prayers and be kind to everyone!
