I look my age if you're up close! Dale, on the other hand, has very little gray on her muzzle, but she has other signs of old age, such as weakness at her hips definitely, some cloudiness in her eyes (cataracts, no inflammation) and if you knew her years ago, you'd see a decline in overall muscle tone...she was really buff when she was 2to5yrs old. Still, us old gals are pleased to greet the sun each day.

that is what surprised me in the post.. I always hear you talk about being a Grandma..but you look soo young
35 years with a bulldog..that is way to cool..
I am just working on 4 years..lol...but hope to have one for 35 years too.
I am 52 and you look much younger then I do for sure
congrats on your acheievements with bulldogs..that is awesome..
and thanks for your help with Gus and Bella..

but I do have lots of hands-on experience with this breed, having owned bullies for 35+ years, working with bulldog rescue in various capacities for about 15 years, a degree in Animal Health and I'm a retired Registered Veterinary Technician (animal nurse) when I worked mostly in an ophthalmic specialty practice. I just have a natural curiosity about animal health and I enjoy sharing that enthusiasm with others who feel the same. I didn't breed much (only 6 litters over the many years) so my info regarding current tests and drugs is limited, but I like to learn, and feel I can be most helpful in areas of "nursing a sick animal". I competed for several years in AKC Obedience and titled a couple bullies tho I readily admit I didn't have the patience or degree of commitment that Cheryl and others have...but I can sure appreciate their achievements, knowing a bit about what is required for these results.

I have always wanted to ask that question
you are very informative to soo many on the board
just wander where all that experience comes from

how many bullies do you have??

sorry for the typo

Your good intentions are all that really matters.
