I Love My...

Beautiful English Bulldogs - AKA Brewski and Lola. These pups have been with Klayton and I through thick and thin. I thought I would take a minute to blog about how important each of these pups are to me. Since having Mya, they have kind of taken a back seat as far as attention goes. But, they still love me unconditionally even though I have made their lives change drastically. They have done so well with Mya, it's amazing!!

Our Family in 2007:

Brewski - AKA: Bruce, Bub, Bubba is 5 years old. He is MY boy. No, not daddy's boy, MY boy!! I was with this boy the first day that he was born. I wish I could upload his puppy photos, seriously the CUTEST pup ever. He is the man, no really! Ask anyone. This dog is just a stud. He is so passive. He reminds me a lot of Klayton. He is very chill and LOVES everyone. We got Bub when we were still living in Boise. He has been through several moves with us, including a move in Boise. He can adapt to anything. His only downside, he is allergic to EVERYTHING!! He is on sweet potato and fish food. Yes, after years of being at the vet, no really, we would get discounts because we were there so much, we finally figured out that he is allergic to normal dog food. It's a good thing they sell his food at Petco so it is still convenient. Bub loves to sleep with Klay and I. The first day we brought him home, we tried everything in our power to get him to sleep on his own. Nope, didn't work. He whined everywhere we put him, until...we put him up on the bed with us. He went right to sleep. When we woke up the next morning, he was under the covers snoring. Still to this day, he goes under the covers and sleeps in my arms, and I wake up to his snoring. Now, he is not as spoiled as he used to be, he doesn't sleep in the bed every night anymore. This was very hard for him...ok, and me too! But he gets to sleep in bed with us the night before I wash the sheets. Believe me, he LIVES for this!! I am in love with this dog. He has been my partner for many years. When Klay is gone, he comforts me. When I am feeling down, he comforts me. When I was pregnant, he layed as close to my stomach as he could every night. He comforts me. As Klay would say: "I wish you treated me as good as you treat Bruce".... Here are a few pictures of my boy:

I LOVE this pup:

And now on to Miss Lola - AKA: Loleesh and Baboo (don't ask how we come up with these nicknames for our dogs. Our family has always come up with weird nicknames for our animals. Funny thing is, the pups come to all of their weird names). Oh Lola, where do I start. Miss Lola is now 3 years old!! We got Lola right before we moved from Boise to Bellingham. We had just gotten married and decided we would take some of our wedding $$ and buy a new bulldog. We thought, Bruce is such a stud, why not get another one. I let Klay pick out Lola. At first, I regretted this with no remorse. We went to pick out a pup and took Bub with us so that we could make sure they would get along. Right when we got there, Lola wouldn't stop chasing him around. They hit it off immediately. When we were trying to make a decision, Lola went right up to Klay, sat in front of him, and looked up at him. He said: "I want her!", so that's what he got. The first year of having this little miss, was pretty much he**. She was a TERRIBLE puppy. She would eat poop, yes, eat poop! She chewed a hole in our wall, two actually, and she was so wild it was unbearable. I remember telling Klay after a month of having her that we needed to find her another home, he wouldn't let me. It was the best decision he has made. She finally grew out of her poop eating stage, thank goodness, and since has been such a love in my life. She is so loyal and so loving. She just loves people, but has a downside when she encounters them, she will jump on them and lick them to death, anyone!! Once you meet Lola you grow to love the little thing. She just loves so hard. She is also my guard dog! When Klay is gone, watch out! I feel completely safe. If anyone comes to the door, she barks like she is going to kill someone, whereas, Bruce could care less and stay asleep. Before having Mya, I was a little nervous that she would be a little aggressive towards her...not in the least! She licks her feet everyday and sits next to her when she has her "tummy" time. She is such a lover and always puts a smile on my face. Here are a few pictures of my girl:
