AAAAWWWWWW!!! What a beauty!!! I think it captures the whole nature of
Bullies just perfectly. Sadly, with all those confetti greys, I doubt
it's one I'd ever stitch - but thanks for the smile, Linda! ;-D They are
gorgeous dogs, aren't they?

Parker is in a class with Lara, an English bull terrior. Lara and
Parker love to play together. Her owner - while living in England (her
native country) used to show/handle dogs of champion owners. Her
terrior is so very strong and muscular in comparison to my Cavalier,
even though they're about the same size.

They sure are strong, Dianne!
I once had a rescue Bully called 'Toffee' - she was only a half-grown
pup, really, but late one night, she barrelled right through the wire in
Dad's aviary and had killed two of his beloved galahs before I could get
a proper hold of her. That's how I learned how tenacious the breed is.
Once they've got a-hold of something, they don't let go in a hurry! I
was forced to give Toffee back to the rescue people, as she simply
couldn't get used to living peaceably with Dad's birds. It was a shame,
as she was a very beautiful dog.
Our Alice likes to eat tennis balls and masonry. Each time she gets a
new tennis ball she parks herself, legs akimbo, on the kitchen lino. For
show/hide quoted text
the next hour or so, you'll hear the loud <popp POPP popp POPP> as she
crunches it in her jaws. Eventually, the ball will crack and stop
popping, so Alice leaves it sadly alone and asks for another one. If she
can get hold of a bit of masonry or mortar or housebrick, she'll sit
happily and munch away on it (the sound is *awful* - worse than the
sound of a cat eating a mouse!). In spite of this worrying habit, the
vet reckons her teeth are in great nick.
!!!
DS is the only one limber and strong enough to keep up with Alice, even
now that she's a senior cit. She takes him for a walk in her harness and
many friends have smiled as they related seeing Matt being walked by
Alice along the Minmi Road. What they don't often see is the return
journey: DS is a great walker and loves to go for miles and miles.
Usually, he gets to do the leading on the way back as Alice is exhausted
by then.
Of course, being an extremely happy and people-loving dog, Alice loves
to wag her tail madly when people come to visit. I'm sure she doesn't
mean it, but the effect of being wagged against by her thumping tail is
like being whacked with a bit of four-be-two! Owch!
Staffordshire Bull Terriers are all the rage at the moment here in Oz.
While they're cute enough, I s'pose, they just don't have the honest
appeal of the Bull Terrier. IMHO.

Your story made me smile and remember a dog we used to have - Judy, a
beautiful springer spaniel.
One year, my dh took her with him to Idaho to go mountain climbing and
camping. On the next to last day, the weather was turning so he
decided to make it all the way out that day instead of in two. Judy,
being a dog who thought with her nose, of course wandered from one
side to another and up and down the trail, off here, off there, having
a great time - for the first seven miles. Those were seven miles for
Mark of course and probably 15 for Judy! The last three, she stuck
close to dh. He found a motel that took dogs and stayed the night.
Poor Judy was so worn out, she laid on the floor and wouldn't move.
Had to be physically picked up and taken outside to go potty before
bed - So worn out dh almost decided to find an emergency vet, but he
decided to wait until morning. Fortunately, it was just exhaustion.
The next morning, she bounded out, ready to go again!
