On Sunday, I met my dad and it was love at first sight! He could not stop kissing me. I think I saw some tears in his eyes, too. He had had Bulldogs before, and he was so lonely after the last one left for the Rainbow Bridge.
I was nervous when I heard I was going to meet a family because my fur is not in the best shape yet. I sure wanted him to love me. I had been lonely for a while myself, so I thought we would make a perfect pair, but you never know.
Well, the rest is history!
John loved me from the second he saw me. And I loved John. He didn’t even notice I was missing some fur. All he saw was me being a perfect lady for him.
Yesterday, I packed my bags and waited for John. I knew John was coming for me and I was so excited. John came and hugged me and told me he was going to love me forever. That’s what I am talking about: John and me forever.
I’m sure you’ll see us again. That’s because John has enough room in his heart to love another dog or two. What a fun day that will be when it’s John, me and another Bulldog that will make three!
Bulldog family, my name is Sweet Pea Petunia. Big name for a bulldog with a big personality. But I am sure you can see that in my photos.
On Wednesday I joined rescue. I packed my backpack full of my toys. I did not forget a thing, and I packed my medication for my fur. I don’t know if you can tell but I am missing some fur, here and there.
My Mom cried big tears when we said our goodbyes, you know those tears we refer to as “ugly crying.” I told her it was for the best; she had exhausted so much money trying to help me. My Mom adopted me 1 year ago from a local shelter because she had always wanted a bulldog. She and I made many trips to my vet. We tried creams, and pills and special dog food. We tried deep tissue massages, we did oils and shots. Yet nothing worked! I just scratched and more fur fell out. One day I may be “naked as a j-bird.” That’s fine with me. I think fur is overrated anyway.
Today I will let Dr. Larsen inspect me. She may have a secret up her sleeve, but she may not. I have been shopping on Amazon for some winter clothes to keep me warm if my fur doesn’t grow back.
I am 3 years old; I love everyone and everything. Mealtime is my favorite time and I LOVE to eat. If you see my mom, tell her to stop that “ugly crying” because she did what was best for me. I will never forget her, and I know she will never forget me, Sweet Pea Petunia.
