My wife and I got these sweet, crazy little bully brothers on Thursday. I've had dogs my whole life, these would be numbers 8 and 9, but I've never had two puppies at the same time before. Phew. They're amazing, but they're a tornado of wrestling and biting and peeing. It's pretty awesome watching them tear through the basement under dozens of pins without slowing down.

This breeder only docks tails if necessary. If the tails are straight they aren't docked, but they are when "corkscrewed" and can cause problems or pain. I think half of the litter of eight were docked.

My wife finally got a non-blurry photo of the old lady and two young'ns together. Wish our bulldog Fred was able to make this Christmas and turn this trio into a quartette, but it was sadly not to be.

I posted these guys back when we got them abut 6-7 weeks ago, happy to say they're growing up nice and healthy with great personalities. A major handful, but gotta keep an easy and patient mind about it, they're only puppies for a little while.

They've done a lot of growing in 3 months.

New frisbees are always very popular.

Happy Holidays from Ralph and Oliver, trying to look innocent and not fooling anyone.

I'm sure fellow dog owners recognize that tree decorating style of "nothing that can be bitten in the lower third!"

Slushducks didn't stand a chance.

My wife and I have started to call "play pinball" as "spaghetti and meatballs" because they get too worked up when they hear "play pinball" and go apeshit and try to force their way down to the basement.

"After dinner I think I'm gonna go spaghetti and meatballs," is often said here lately. I give it a few weeks before they figure out what that means and we have to start over.

Thanks. Self-adhesive 12"x12" carpet tiles. Tedious to install, but handy in the long run because dirty ones can be swapped out.
