Bulldog

Our family grows yet again....

Travis will tell you it was my idea, and he's right. I knew we'd be getting one eventually, and I decided that I would rather just have two puppies all at once, rather than training one dog and then going through the entire process again in two years. So, we drove to Georgetown last weekend, and we picked up a full blood English Bulldog from a breeder Travis found online. We have named him Percy, short for Sir Percival Worthington. Travis just calls it Bubba. :-)

Here are some pictures of our newest pup:

There are not enough words to explain how excited Travis is about his new puppy. This dog is going to be (hmm...already is...) spoiled rotten!!

Percy is a chocolate and white bulldog, and currently weighs in at 14.8 pounds.. We like the little pigment on his nose that looks like he is wearing a nose ring!


Rio LOVES her new playmate and is very excited to have him around. They play together all day and are completely worn out by the time I get home from work. They are keeping each other entertained all day, which is nice! They both love to chew, so we have filled the backyard with all sorts of fun toys. Rio also loves to grab on to all of Percy's extra skin and pull on it...

The puppies are completely worn out by the end of the day, and they happily climb into their separate crates to sleep. They are sleeping through the night without any trouble, and Percy has already started snoring. It's also very cute how they mimic each other in EVERYTHING, even the way they sleep!!

  1. They look adorable!! I think you are definitely smart in knocking out the puppy phase/potty training all at one time. Also, when you have busy days you won't feel as bad since they will have each other to play with and keep company. Cute pictures! :) Congrats!
