Today is the day that I start healing some broken hearts. So, let the healing begin!
About three months ago, I joined rescue because my mother, Harley Carley, had joined, and I saw how happy she was. I thought this is just where I need to be. I know I’m special and I deserve a special family.
I looked through the approved applications daily and I would read:
“We don’t like big Bulldogs”
Or
“We don’t like red Bulldogs”
Or
“We don’t like Bulldogs who drool”
Or
“We don’t like Bulldogs who won’t let us dress them up”
Or
“We don’t like Bulldogs who are lazy”
Or
“We don’t like Bulldog who show their front teeth because that’s scary “
I was like, “What the heck? Do any of those people really like Bulldogs?”
So, I waited and thought, when I find my forever home, I’m going to be treated like the queen I was born to be! And I finally found the family that is perfect for me.
My new parents are previous adopters and when their Bulldog suddenly crossed the Rainbow Bridge, they were in shock. They were devastated. They could hardly breathe. Dahlia was her name. She had gone to the vet for some routine vaccinations. The vet noticed a hard spot on her and when the doc lifted her off the table, her spleen ruptured, and she was gone. Just like that. She had cancer.
I have some big shoes to fill, but I am a big gal, and I am ready to help my family heal. I am just the right lady for the job. I am going to use my charm to heal some broken hearts and I am going to be loved forever.
My new dad is Nathan, my two skin brothers are Kiser and Keller and my new mom is Jennifer. I have a new fur sister, Hattie, and she doesn’t have any teeth!
I will never take Dahlia’s place ~ everyone in rescue will always love and remember her. My new family has enough love for many Bulldogs, and they are honoring Dahlia by adopting me. They knew they needed to open up their hearts and love again.
My new mom, Jennifer, spent most of the evening ordering me some new things. I love new things. I love new beds, balls and treats. I looked over everything that is coming, and I must say, I am truly going to be a queen.
Goodbye, rescue family and friends. I am out of here and ready to let my new life begin!
5/18/21 Update: China here on Tongue out-Teeth out Tuesday! I get the days mixed up because all I really care about is Sunday Spa Day.
I am home from visiting with Dr. Larsen and she told me to stay calm because I still have some stitches in, but calm is not really my speed. I am more like “full speed ahead” better get out of my way because I will run over you to get to the door, to run out the door, and sit by the car door. My obsession with going in the car started when in my other life my dad had a job with Uber Eats. Even though those days are far behind me I still can still sprint to the car, be loaded up while you are still looking for your car keys.
So, with that being said, my perfect family will be active, will not mind a little getting run over when it’s time to go to the door, and will make sure I am the center of their world. I am a huge fan of food, snacks are a must, and hanging out occasionally at a dog friendly sports bar is my kind of day. I am not the stay at home and watch TV kind of lady. There is way too much living to do for me to stay home alone. So, if you think I am the bulldog you need send in an application to see about and you and me!
6/28/21 Update: I’m checking in from my Airbnb! On Saturday, the splash pad opened and I walked right in. I asked the lady in charge to keep the spray to a minimum of 6 inches, so I did not have to put on my life jacket. This fat gal can’t swim and I was not taking any chances. I found the light mist really refreshing.
