Cue the confetti ~ I’m thrilled to announce that today, my new family came to take me HOME!
Foster Mom wished me a happy adoption day when I woke up, but it was a bit early, and I was a little confused. Then I felt something exciting as she started gathering my things by the door.
When these new people arrived, I instantly felt a connection and knew I loved them! The tall man showed me he’s a tug-of-war champion, and the two ladies were totally smitten. But I couldn’t stay away from the tall man—he’s definitely MY PERSON!
Foster Mom gave me a big hug, told me she’ll always love me, and then I was off! At first, I thought I was just stepping outside for a quick bathroom break, but when the truck door opened, I forgot all about that partially full bladder. I jumped right in and made it my new domain. That’s right, I’m the boss now, and they seem OK with that. I’m riding co-captain to my new home, and I think they’re excited about it too.
I hope you can see the joy in my eyes and in the eyes of my new mom, dad, and nieces because I’m super proud to call them my FAMILY!
Peace out and mic drop.
Helloooo bulldog friends, it’s me Dax joining rescue today! I am 23 pounds of bulldog puppy fun! And do you see me rolling along in the new wagon that is part of our Bulloween giveaway? That’s right, I saw a wagon and I jumped right in! I am going rolling, rolling, rolling! Now back to me. I was found wandering around one day when the temperature was over 100 and a very nice shelter picked me up thinking surely someone would be missing me. So, I waited and waited and waited and you know what, not one person came looking! I was not really shocked though, I had missed some meals, and I was ready to find a new family. And, best part, the shelter and all my new friends there, did all my medical for me. Everyone looked at my teeth, everyone thinks I am 6 months old.
Today was a big day for me. Today I left the shelter, I left my best friend Sherry, and I joined rescue. Sherry just cried and cried. Sherry actually had been taking me home with her and it was working out great, however, all her bulldog Faith wanted to do was lay on me. Faith is fat girl and all I could do was scream for helpppppp. I was afraid I might end up Faith’s brother but when I heard the news I was leaving for rescue, I was so happy. Well, the other things I know about me is, I sit for treats and take them gently out of a hand. I have a set of really really sharp teeth and I am not afraid to use them. I must have lots of chew toys. I am doing excellent at potty training. I do know how to walk on a leash, but I prefer to run everywhere. So, unless you love puppies with really sharp teeth don’t expect to be matched with me. Oh, and if you have fat dogs that like to lay on little puppies, don’t send in an application for me. I just now have straightened up from being flattened like a pan cake!
8/14/18 Update: Foster boy Dax is 4 months old and 20 pounds of pure muscle. He lovesssssss to play tug of war with his foster brother, Blëu, who is 23 months old and 68 pounds of pure orneriness! Dax literally idolizes Blëu’s every move. Disclaimer: Blëu’s parents are not responsible for any ornery behavior foster boy, Dax may or may not learn while here at Gibbs Crib.
10/10/18 Update: Hiiii All, Is this the place I can come to tattle on my foster pawrents?
It is? Ok perfect, here’s my situation: My foster pawrents took me to this place where I thought was HEAVEN with all these different size orange balls!! 🎃
BUT guess what…I couldn’t pick up a single orange ball. I couldn’t chew on a single orange ball. I couldn’t sling a single orange ball around. I couldn’t run and wiggle my booty really fast while giving foster Ma a cute little smirk with a single orange ball. I couldn’t do anything with any of those orange balls! What can be done about this?
7/18/24 Update: There doesn’t seem to be much interest in me. The biggest problem is everyone wants the young guns. There are a lot of us 5+ years pups in rescue that are being overlooked. I don’t understand why as I am absolutely PAWFECT! I am the best behaved and smartest Bulldog there is!
For instance, did you know I can do tricks? I sit for my food and wait until I am told to eat. I shake paws for a cookie. I lay down on command and can roll over. Sometimes, I don’t make it all the way over though.
I am also an excellent perimeter patrol dog. I keep the backyard safe from pesky squirrels and their nonsensical chatter!
And did you notice my absolutely PAWSOME underbite? It’s great for shoveling up food bits that your little food droppers let fall to the floor. I love those two-legged food droppers! I get along great with them.
