He’s not just a pretty face. My English Bulldog Boz also seems to have all the answers; and so I feel it is my duty as his wingman to share some of his bulldog wisdom, and perhaps further the cause of mankind. We need all the help we can get. Yep, everything I need to know, I learned from a bulldog.

1. No one ever need apologize for taking a nap.

Boz the — Boz: “Uh, what are you lookin’ at?”

2. An apple a day keeps the veterinarian away.

Apples, apples good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you…

3. Real dogs cuddle.

Gracie: “Boz, is something wrong with your own bed?

4. Take time to smell the roses, and the lilies, and the…

5. Stand your ground; no one likes to be rushed.

6. Comfort should not be denied.

7. All you need is love.

Oh and for the record, Gracie concurs.

Oh my, that’s quite a number he did on your couch! Ouch!

  The good news Grace, is the photo is deceiving; Boz did that little destructive fluff-up to his own bed which was atop an ottoman, so my sofa was spared. 😉

What a pair of cuddlemunchers. Our boys agree on everything except the apples…they prefer romaine.

  June, I’m feeling a little smug. I have Boz and Gracie thinking zucchini slices are awesome treats. Finally a use for the zucchini onslaught!

I love how Boz is confident in his own skin. Something else we biped furless leaders could learn 🙂

  Well said, Perri!

I’m surprised that Boz doesn’t just pick his own apples. Remove the middle man;-)

  Karen, he did once, when I had a chair nearby.

    Was this in the orchard when someone (no names) forgot to secure the gate?

      Yes Karen, between Boz, Gracie and the deer, an open gate can result in some windfall losses. 😉

I saw a bulldog yesterday at a cafe and smiled as I thought of Boz. No where near as handsome as your little pollinator though.

  Thanks Jacqui, Boz appreciates your discerning tastes.

The photos of Boz (and the occasional Gracie) are priceless. It always makes my day when I can see what your bulldogs have been up to.

  Thank you Eileen, I feel the same way about Pipi, still think about her dazzling wedding attire last summer. 😉
