Happy Chinese New Year. My Mom is a Dragon -Wood (bet no one ever doubted that). This could be her lucky year. We Feng Shui-ed our home, and by We I mean Mom and her Yoda.
Last night was the perfect night to celebrate Chinese New Years Eve with food and friends. Lucky money doesn't hurt either. My cake was just the dog treat on the top!
Whichever you believe, I believe it's a great look into our future year.
Happy Chinese New Year.

I'm a big boy now and boy is this tough.
So I had a spanking great party in town with my friends. Tons of dogs came and all that. I was thrilled with the ones that showed up, they made this day about me, not themselves. Oh that's right, there's some shade being slung. You see, there are people in this world that cannot let anyone else have a spotlight, they have to infringe on your world. We are not friends with people like that. So when the regrets came we were thrilled.
This being two years old is a big step for me. I am not a baby anymore. I must share my Mom with others and like it or not, I cannot get the baby treatment anymore.
Another thing is our new journey has us trying new things, spending great times discovering things, and making many new friends. We are not forgetting about our tried and true friends, no Sir.
One thing that is exciting is I might be a daddy soon. Crossing paws, and hoping for the best. Another is we are taking in a few Dogs on Deployment. Nothing means more to a soldier than to know their beloved animal is being cared for while they are gone serving our country.
Finally, our Cars and Paws benefit show for Rufus Rascal's has been set for September 2014. We are so excited and cannot wait. We have arranged for a few special guests and hope that everyone comes and participates. Street Rod's meets Bulldogs. Stay tuned for that information.
Happy Wrinkles Day!

Bulldog issues with snow, ice and salt.
A vet friend of mine in the Northeast came down for a little fun in the sun this past week. He had to come over and see me because I am his favorite elixir for snow and cold. Mommy was showing him my nose that is crusty. He told Mommy to watch for my paws. He said the cold will dry them out and they will crack and bleed.
After that little what to watch for he showed Mom some pictures of dogs that have salt damage in their paws. He said that we forget as humans because we always wear shoes in the snow or ice that the salt is a real issue. He said imagine having an open wound and going in the salt water, it burns right? Then it soothes. Well in this case the salt becomes small shards of glass like particles and wedges into our pads and will make them bleed and cause pain.
We joke about the shoes, but even if you live in Florida where the snow never lays and the idea of salt on the road is when you empty out a cooler from the beach, start early with shoes. Especially if you want to keep those pads clean and safe.
To do it again with a puppy I would do all the crazy things My MeMe would have laughed at. Shoes, toddler bed no crate, rocking to sleep, you know...
Please keep those feet protected...

Guest post from the Mommy to Gunner
Happy Birthday to my little man Gunner. You are a dog everyone wishes for, you have a heart of gold, the kindest smile and you melt my heart every single day.
You really listen when I talk to you, you are my partner in crime. Life has not been dull with you in the last two (2) years of your life and I hope that it continues to be as great.
Everyone and everything comes into your life for a reason, and you were no exception. I love your morning nuzzles during our quiet tea time. Snuggle time at night with the tv off, and you and I sitting on the couch is my favorite part of the day. When I am away traveling it breaks my heart, I need to have you in my arms to cuddle.
With you in our lives, you have made the ancient people around you learn new technology. Twitter, Vine, Instagram, Youtube, you name it, buddy we all do it for you, and because of you. We love you very much.
This coming year is going to be filled with a lot of challenges and new journey's I hope each and every day is filled with your love.
My promise to you is to scratch you more, be gone less and have lots of bacon at your disposal. We have opened our lives to new people, you have a God Mother now and Mommy feels very good about that, we have a lot of love around us and are very grateful.
Happy Birthday to the very best person who came into my life.
Love Mommy

Tonight's the night for our drawing for Lola
Hey everyone I am so excited to tell you that we are doing the drawing tonight for the gift basket for donating to Lola.
Because I am the Chairman of the Bull on this project I am not participating. But I will be hosting the event. So grab your bones and your treats... Mommy and I will do the drawing on Vine at about 10:00 p.m. Friday January 17, 2014. That is Eastern Standard Time, (in Florida). We are so excited and want to thank each and everyone who has donated to make Lola's last surgery (we hope) a very special time.
It goes without saying the Metzger family should get an award for being so loving and caring. Rocco and Harpsickle have welcomed Lola into to their home and shared both Mom and Dad. We really lub you guys!!!
Dogtails will be served tonight, all non-alcoholic drinks for the bulldogs in your life.
Welcome to the ever growing Boston Terriers that are just as much apart of our group, and we thank you!!!
See you tonight at 10 pm. Eastern Standard Time!

Donate to Lola one more time please...
Lola has a very awesome video here on her life as she came into all of our lives. The day the phone call came, we knew she was destined to be with Rocco and his family. It was so heartbreaking and we knew we would want to help.
Keep in mind, compared to other donations we haven't raised a ton of money, but we have raised a lot of love. But as the song goes, Love don't pay the bills so to speak. I am begging you to open your wallets $5.00 anything, I believe we need $1000.00 to get her finished with this surgery stuff. I can 1000% assure each and everyone every penny raised that has been sent to the family has been used only on Lola.
Have you seen a cuter dog, really? Who has secretly wished they had found her? I know we have, we right now I think have raised $205.00 and we only have 2 more days.
I am sweetening the deal I promise. You are getting all the items that were shown, plus a portrait by Sam the Artistic Bulldog, and a bit more...
Personally I don't like to ask for money, I am not that kind of person, I am more of a here is my money and I go about my business. I can't even charge for the things I sell half the time.
Please do this for me, Gunner... My birthday is coming up, and Mom has promised to send the money she would spend on my gifts to Lola as well using my pawallowence.
My friend Lola's family has become a real friend to us. When I was sick, Mr. Bryan talked Mom through it, and it was ok. When Mommy made a huge mistake on something, Mr. Bryan was right there to help her pick herself back up. Rocco's one of my best friends and I wouldn't know what to do without them or Lola.
We appreciate everyone, but lets all try one more time... I promise, I won't ask again...
Much love,
Gunner
