Being bulldogs.
I am not really an animal person, but there is one animal that always captures my heart. That is the English Bulldog. Bulldogs are not low maintenance dogs and more often than not have an array of health problems. Our dogs have been no exception to the rule. However they all come with a personality that most other breeds of dogs find hard to beat.
It’s a family dog going back to my great-grandparents. They gave my parents their very first bulldog, Buckshot, as a wedding present.
Buckshot & Me.
Our next bulldog was Gussy, she was a pup from my great-grandma’s dog Mugs. She was the runt of the group and true to form had her special “gifts”. Unfortunately I did not have any pictures of her handy. 
J-man came into our lives when I was in 8th grade. My dad surprised one evening with him. He had found him in the paper listed by a family who couldn’t take care of him anymore. One of my happiest memories is when my dad put down the tailgate and a white bulldog slobbering all over me.
He was a leg humper.
Bulldogs don't like rain, but they like camping.
He had bad allergies and was on steroids the last few years of his life which made him gain a lot of weight.
My sister got her 1st bulldog a few years ago. She’s not a full bulldog but she CERTAINLY has a unique personality.
June has a little boston terrier in her, oh and she can jump which sets her very much apart from the others.
In fall 2009 my parents, a few months after J-Man’s passing my parents got Madge. She definitely captured hearts immediately, but then again what baby bulldog doesn’t.

Rare photo op. they weren't wrestling.
Priceless.
She always loved to "help" you get ready.
She was a cuddler and a good slobberer
You'll be missed Madge. 10-09-11
Madge was a good farm dog. She loved being in the shop and “helping” the guys. Loved to chase and eat mice. She gave good high fives and shook hands when the situation deemed it appropriate. Other tricks included sleeping, snoring and snuggling. In two short years she touched a lot of lives and will be missed greatly.
