Adopt-a-Bull Ozzie







"Thanks Mom and Pop for adopting me!"


It's hard to believe that next month on the 5th of July that we will have had Ozzie for 3 years! Its been quite a ride and we have enjoyed every moment of it! Looking back it must of been scary for him leaving behind the only home he had known for 2 years. I really think it took him a good year to adjust to us and be comfortable in his new family. I would never buy a dog or cat when there are so many great animals out there like Ozzie in need of a loving forever home.


I recently got an email from MABDR or The MidAtlantic Bulldog Rescue, the organization through which we adopted Ozzie. They are in big time need of money to pay for the thousands in veterinarian bills that they incur for treating the Bulldogs they rescue. I am going to send them a small donation ( it would be bigger if we hadn't racked up vet bills lately with the Oz!) to help out. They are great people and they do wonderful work. They are super dedicated to saving these bullies. Ozzie was in pretty good shape when we adopted him but some bullies are not so fortunate. Please check out the link below and if you can send just a few dollars it will help the cause. 


What should we do to celebrate Ozzie's adoption day?  I suppose if we ask Ozzie he would say "Prime Rib please!"

Happy Anniversary !



Today marks the one year anniversary of Ozzie's homecoming. It was a sunny hot July day just like today when we took that ride out to Pennsylvania to pick him up. I still remember my husband cautioning me not to get too excited if the dog didn't suit us. Leaving the possibility that we would go home without a bulldog. Then when we walked into foster dad Monty's back yard and saw Ozzie, my husband folded like a cheap lawn chair! It was truly love at first sight and there has been no turning back since. He brings us joy every day! No matter what mess he makes of our back yard or amount of fur he sheds on the carpet his presence in our lives has made us better personally! Having him has changed the way we do things and has put the kabash on some spontaneity and makes us watch the time like hawks when we go out on a Saturday night but all in all a small trade off for the privilege of having him! So a little celebration today for the Oz. Maybe a piece of steak off the grill as a treat. Here's to many more years of vacuuming up dog hair and stepping in poop in the back yard!
