My youngest daughter is currently living in Germany. Thursday morning I receive a message from her, her Bulldog, Beau was in surgery for an obstruction.
I’m not going to tell my story, and make you wait. Beau did fine with the surgery. They were able to remove the piece of toy my daughter didn’t even know he swallowed, and he is on his way to feeling better.
Baby Beau, maybe three or four months old.
As for the story….My daughter came home one year for Christmas, and she brought her new Bulldog puppy, Beau. Sampson and Delilah did not like Beau. In their defense, they have each been attacked at least three different times by the Bulldogs across the street, so they have a prejudice towards Bulldogs.
So she brought Beau home and we managed the dogs. As I said, the dogs HATED Beau. In fact, the dogs were so NASTY to Beau, I wrote an entire post about it. (You can read that HERE.)
Please Dog, make it go away. I promise I’ll be a good boy.
The photo made me think of a dog in prayer, but truthfully, he was probably just trying to stay away from Beau.
Sampson and Delilah have seen Beau a few times, in fact, my daughter stayed with us for a bit. This time Sampson was better, but Delilah and Beau always seemed to be at loggerheads. In fact, they actually physically fought a couple of times, and that was scary. So now, we just keep them away from each other. I mean, I don’t like every single person I meet, why should my dog like every single dog?
It made me smile to look back on this photo of Sampson in ‘prayer.’
What did your pet do that made you smile this week?
P.S. Today is the Dog Daddy’s birthday and Sampson and Delilah wish him a happy day!
Glad to hear Beau is recovering well!
I love that pic of Sampson in prayer!
Happy Birthday to Dog-Daddy!
Happy Birthday to dog daddy! Hope Beau does well and stops eating stuff!
Happy birthday to the dog daddy. Happy that the surgery went well for Beau. Sampy looks cute in prayer.
I sure am glad that Beau is okay now, that’s terrific news.
Happy Birthday, Doggie Daddy! And watch your back, Beau. Nevertheless, we’re happy you’re on the road to recovery. Also, FYI – Toys are not cheese.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Happy birthday, dog daddy. My dogs just don’t see cats and dogs they don’t like.
Thanks for sharing the good news first. 😍 Looking forward to more deets. Being a reactive pup herself, the Ninja can be good as gold around some pets (she adores a little Cockapoo on our walks and goes all Cujo with most black dogs we encounter), I know the feeling of trying to manage those deep waters. Sampson praying though is beyond precious.
Well, because of the woofies across the street they have good reason not to care for Beau (even if it isn’t his fault). So happy he is ok!!! Happy Birthday to the Dog Daddy!!! My birthday is next Saturday !! We Libras are great lol!!
You SURE are!! xoxo
He was probably praying that Beau was going home soon. 🙂 It’s such a sweet photo!
