First I want to apologize to my twitter folks for my random tweet that was out of control. Second I want to share a few things we have learned, especially since they say "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"..
Did you know you can be signed on to your twitter account on your ibone and a computer and an ipad at the same time. Did you know that your tweets are searchable on Google? And did you know that if you are really sophisticated (which all Bulldogs and Bulldog friends are) unless you use the privacy features, all your friends info is capturable.
Second lesson... Having a caregiver for your animal. It is VERY important that they do as you say, not as they wish. For instance, other than my VET giving me chocolate, small peanut m&m once or twice, it is NEVER ok to give licks of chocolate when the Mom says no.
Third lesson... Have a secondary Vet on speed dial. We travel a distance for our vet and the vet specialist, but sometimes you need a quick is this a bad thing. As Hurricane season approaches, yes I know the snow isn't even melted, it's important for the southern part of the world to remember preparations... This is going to be a NASTY summer, the Farmer's Almanac says so.
Fourth lesson... All bulldogs are not created equally. It's important to have that "expert" to sound off to. That expert is a reputable breeder that is recognized. While my Mommy has experience in animals large and small, she would never pretend to be an expert. She consults with experts. If you have a behavior issue, SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. University of Pennsylvania has a department you can consult with, the fee is very reasonable. My first line of experts are two Bulldog Breeders in the Bulldog Hall of Fame. Second comes UofP.
Last lesson, the question never asked is the one that burns a hole in your head...
The next post will address the fourth lesson and why it's important to know the difference in an expert and a fellow owner...
Happy Bulldogging...
