"I'm not happy momma!"

Yesterday I fought the winter elements & brought Vivian to the vet for her annual vaccines & check up. She, like my other bullies, doesn't mind going to the vet at all...probably because all the staff at Inver Grove Heights Animal Hospital is so nice and they ALL hand out treats like they're going out of style!

Good news Vivi is a very healthy bully! Bad news Vivi's lumps aren't hives...it's a staph infection! Poor thing! So they gave us antibiotics for THREE weeks!! That's how long she's has the lumps!! I feel bad that I didn't bring her in sooner.

Since we were there, I had them give Vivi her bordetella vaccine as it was due next month & having it done while we were aleady there will save us a trip! For those that don't know, bordetella is usually given nasally...Vivi was not pleased with this at all!

Love Bulldogs? How about Disney World? Got any iPhone fans out there?

Well if you're reading this blog, you probably can answer "yes" to at least 2 of these questions.  Well I'd like to share with you two blogs that I watch that I think you, as a Bully Beat reader, will enjoy! 

First, I found this bully blog just last week & I must say I'm a big fan of Sherbert!  No, not the dairy-free pastel colored frozen treat (that's sherbet--no it really is, go look), but this Sherbert is the Urban Bulldog  who is a beautiful bully out of Colorado whose momma started a blog to cronical her adventures in the best way...PHOTOS!!  As most of you could probably tell, I enjoy taking photos of my bullies, so finding another bully momma who does the same?!  LOVE IT!!  I highly recommend following it to all bully fans!  It's a very fun site that has great stories, fun photos & fantastic interaction with her readers!!  So check it out, I know you'll think it's adorabull!

I know I'm not the only Disney fan out there, so let me share a great new blog written by one of my Disney friends, Katie, that also LOVES Disney & her iPhone, Wilson.  So she writes about both Disney stuff AND iPhone apps!!  It's awesome!  It's fun because she tries out & reviews so many iPhone apps that I wouldn't have ever heard of otherwise!  It's also trouble...she talks about DVC (Disney Vacation Club) & I want IN!!  Ok, I know that's just a dream, but still...someday....ok, ok Steve I'm just dreaming!!  For anyone interested in following the goings on of all things Disney World, you know it can be very overwhelming to try to find it all in any given week.  Well at the DVC Life every Friday is recap day & she summarzies all the Disney news for the week!  It's magical (of course)!!

Another Vote for Vivi Request!

Wouldn't you want to buy a card w/this face on it??  Come on...I know you would!!

Voting goes through next Tuesday, December 15th, vote once a day by just clicking on "Vote for this Pooch", no registration necessary, so I'm sure there's a reason some of the not-so-cute dogs have 10s of thousands of votes....but I thought it was worth a try!

Thanks in advance & if your dog is entered, let me know & we can add his/her link on here too for people to vote!!

Vote for Vivi!!

Thank you!

Our weekend

I decided to show Vivi in St Cloud this weekend.  I have updated the show page with a recap & photos.  We had a lot of fun!  Vivi is such a pleasure to bring out.  Sure every once in awhile she will pull, but for the most part she's very laid back & just wants everyone to pet her or sniff her..she doesn't care...she loves all!

Our bully friend Fiona & her momma Kim had a GREAT weekend at the show!  Fiona got Best of Breed each day!!  Yay Fiona!  Fiona is a beautiful girl & she's sooooo funny!  She's even more laid back than Vivi at the shows!!

Here are the girls waiting ringside for their turns in the ring, aren't they cute?

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

Life Lesson #10

Sometimes it's just not

about you...

or your comfort!

To Show or not to show...

That IS the question I've been facing all week. Vivi's lumps are still hanging around. They are better than they were, but the scabs are still there & that's what is making her "lumpy" still.

I continue to put vitamin E oil on them, but you can still see them. I did give her another oatmeal bath on Monday hoping it would work its miracle magic again, but it didn't. So now I have to decide if I should bathe her tonight like I normally would for a show or if that would cause even more irritation.

She doesn't look horrible, but she does still look lumpy. I just want her to look her best of course. Well I'll keep you posted! Wish us luck!!

Hmmm..You think the judge would mind if I kept her coat on her in the ring? She's certainly stylin' in this thing!!
