S’mores

S’mores

S’mores has been adopted! This sweet little girl found her forever family and it was love at first sight! She has gained her very own mom and two skin sisters. A houseful of girls! Just the way she wanted it. She will have all the love and attention that she deserves.

S’mores is so easy to love. She is smart, sweet and just the happiest girl. Foster Pa and I are so happy for her to have her very own family.
Happy tails, angel… we will miss you!

What is it that all you humans like to eat on a cool night by the fire? Well, then you will love sharing that fire with me. My name is S’mores and today I was rescued from the shelter.

I have had a few puppies in my time, and I am around 5 years old. I am in fairly good health, but I do have a major problem with my lady parts. Something is hanging out that shouldn’t. Dr. Larsen says it is a vaginal prolapse. That’s a fancy way of saying it is yucky and hurts, so I need to get that fixed ASAP.

You will be glad to know I am a super sweet girl, and I have liked every dog I have met so far. I know how to walk on a leash and I do my business outside, where a lady should.

As soon as I get all fixed up I will be off to a foster family to recuperate and get ready for my perfect new family. Would you like to be matched with a dark, beauty like me? You would love to have S’mores by your fire this winter!

1/15/20 Update:  I’m about 5 years old and I am loving rescue! Lots to eat, a warm place to sleep and all the love a girl could ask for. You see, I was found on the street and ended up in a local shelter. Lucky for me, the shelter folks knew just what to do and contacted Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue. The volunteers kicked into gear and I was soon heading to Dr. Larsen’s office.

I sure needed to see the Doc. I’ve been a mom several times and my last litter left me in a bad way. My uterus had prolapsed and I wasn’t given any medical care for it, especially when I was out on the streets alone. I’m not complaining because that’s what led me to rescue and now Dr. Larsen has repaired my problem.

Now that I feel better and have put on some weight, I am enjoying my life. I make myself at home anywhere I am. I’ve never met a stranger. The other day, I had my pictures taken and the volunteers had a ball with me. I love toys, so I played tug-o-war with one of the ladies. I threw my toys in the air, I ate my treats and treats the other dogs had left on the set. I ran around the room getting everyone to pet me and then decided to pee on the blanket. It was a great day for me and for them, too! Maybe not the pee and blanket thing. Oh, well… it’s washable.

I will be moving in with my foster family soon and they will enjoy me as much as the volunteers did. That’s because I’m just a hap, hap, happy girl and I love everyone. I’m kind of silly and really funny, too! When I find my forever family we will laugh all the time together, because I’m a real riot when I get going. Until then, I’m just going to enjoy everyone here… and all this food!

1/27/20 Update:  S’mores is a ball of fire! She comes in full throttle… happy, bouncing, wanting all the attention. There’s no ignoring S’mores! I love visiting and working with this girl. Everyone and everything interest her. It’s like she’s getting to live life for the first time!

When you see her pictures, she’s posed so pretty and still, just looking beautiful and sweet. But actually, this was our day with S’mores: we had a trunk filled with roses. She immediately ran and jumped in it, stomping and sitting all over them, pulling the tops off and throwing them in the air. She then jumped out of the trunk and proceeded to get tangled up in the heart backdrop curtain and knock it over. Then she knocked over the lighting and got in the costume bag and carried a tutu around in her mouth. THIS IS S’MORES, and my life photographing Bulldogs.

S’mores is one of the reasons I love what I do so much. She makes it exciting. She’s so happy that instead of being mad, you just laugh and enjoy the moment with her.

The way we got her calm was to bring out the treats. In the photos, you’ll see her always looking at something… It’s the treat. She’s mesmerized by them. Afterward, she gave us each a kiss and trotted out like, “Well, that was fun,” and we all needed a nap. We loved it and we love her.

She’s had both surgeries for her spay and her prolapse and, as you can see, she is fine now. MORE THAN FINE! LOL

She’s a healthy, smart, sweet, fun, beautiful girl who loves people, dogs and life. She will be headed to a foster home soon, where she’ll learn a few more manners.

S’mores will love you with all her heart, never let you out of her sight and be all the fun you can stand. What more can you ask for?

2/9/20 Update:  S’mores is settling in very well with her foster family and she has not met a stranger. If you dont smile and laugh at this funny little girl, something is wrong with you! LOL

She is a little brindle ball of excitment and activity- just ask her foster siblings! Sometimes, she doesn’t seem to have an off switch to her playing, then you will find her in a heap, snuggled with one of her foster brothers, snoozing away.

This girl also loves, loves her toys and will drag out every one of them from the box. This is when the smiling starts because we know she probably didn’t have any in her former life.

S’mores appeared to be a used-up mill momma, with her uterus falling out of her body when she came into rescue, and to see her happy and gleeful spirt not broken from that life? It’s priceless.

She is a little thin and we are trying to put some weight on her. She has no objections to that. S’mores’ ideal weight will probably be around 50 lbs and she is a little more long-legged, which makes her great on walks. She loves to go on walks with her foster dad and does very well on a leash.

S’mores knows to go outside to do her business now, with only an accident here and there. Her perfect family will still need to have some patience with her, as this is the first time she has lived inside a home.

Even though she has a very soft mouth when taking a treat, she can still get a little mouthy when excited, so probably no small kids. She really wants to please her people and she always has a smile on her beautiful little face.

3/17/20 Update:  S’mores had a fantastic week in her foster home and continues to make us laugh. She is such a happy and playful girl, but also very curious and smart. When she cocks her head to the side while you are doing something, she seems like she’s really trying to figure it out.

She gets so happy when she sees you coming and you can tell because her tail nub begins to move. Then she stands up and it’s like a full-blown erruption of her entire backside getting in on the wiggle. It has a mind of its own!

S’mores is awesome with her house training. We can’t remember the last time she had an accident inside the house. She is feeling very at home and relaxed here and has started to test her boundaries a bit with the other dogs to see what she can get away with. A correction with praise is all it takes.

S’mores loves to walk with her foster dad and can go farther than your average Bulldog. Her legs are longer and her nose isn’t quite as flat. With her energy level, S’mores needs a family that will walk her every day. She needs someone who has some training experience, submissive fur siblings, probably boys, and maybe no small kids because she may accidentally bowl them over.

3/30/20 Update:  Yesterday was so pretty, my foster parents decided I needed to go to the park around the corner and pose for some pictures. They definitely had me at going to the park. My favorite things are playing, walking and enjoying some sunshine! Don’t I look pretty in my pink harness?

4/28/20 Update:  We’ve had the absolute pleasure of S’mores’ company for the past several months, and this little brindled beauty has really captured our hearts! S’mores is loving, energetic, enthusiastic, athletic, funny as can be, and has a big personality packed into a small body….in short, we adore her! Chocolatey, sweet and eminently craveable- S’mores may be the most aptly named bulldog ever!

 

S’mores is a canine mood ring- she can’t hide her excitement when she sees us, or when she senses that Dad is about to take her for a long walk. First, her back hips start to wobble back and forth, then her shoulders get in the game, moving in the opposite direction. Lastly, her little tuchus of a tail starts wagging like crazy…if S’mores could only hold a cocktail shaker, she’d make one hell of a martini!

S’mores is waaaayyy more athletic than he average bullie- she and her foster dad clock between 1.5 and 2 miles walking each morning while it’s still cool. Sure, there’s lots of chest heaving and panting when the walk is over but that’s just Dad…S’mores is as cool as the other side of the pillow, and always wants more (or S’more!). She is also the only bullie in all our years who’s able to jump up on our king-size bed (more than 3 feet off the ground)! I’ve attached a short video of foster Dad taking her for a morning walk- please note, this video has not been sped up..

S’mores has such a big personality that she really needs a home where she’s the only four-legged family member- she really doesn’t want to share you (or your attention) with any other creature. And after all- if you have this amazing little girl, what else could you possibly need??
