Vern is a party animal!!!!
Submitted by Vern-Rory-Teresa on September 12, 2011 - 4:21pmSaturday we attended our first ever bulldog event. It was hosted by West Michigan Bulldog Rescue and our vet, Dr. Carpenter's Family Friend's Vet Hospital of Grand Rapids. There were lots of bulldogs and we even met two Frenchies - so cute!!!
Before the event Vern got a new harness - so he could look extra handsome and be safe.
At the event Vern & my son Jacob played bowling w/bullies and plinko and won lots of prizes for Vern. I apologize for not having any pics of the actual event - we were having so much fun talking w/everyone and looking at all the bullies that we didn't take any pics (I know we suck).
Then on the way home - Vern begged to go back so he could play w/the dogs....especially his best friend a young brindle female puppy.
He was so well behaved, I was very impressed. He hasn't been around other dogs since his last obedience class a couple of months ago and I was a bit apprehensive. I know that an owner's energy is easily read by their dog, so I took a deep breath, acted calm & non-challant and he did the same. He was very polite and well-behaved, nothing but a proper gentleman!
He snored like a bugger when he got home.....visiting with all those bullies wipes a guy out!!
sounds like an awesome weekend!
I wish there was an event like that closer to Winston and I!! It sounds like it would be a blast...glad that Vern minded his manners!! :)

Thanks - bowling was cute -
Thanks - bowling was cute - they had 2 liter bottles mostly filled w/water and the dog & handler had to walk through & knock over as many bottles as possible.....easy for a bullie (hard for them to NOT knock stuff down)!
Woop, woop!
Vern, you are one handsome party animal! I'm sure that girlie bully is still thinking about you!
Vern you are just to cool.
Look at that smile. No wonder you are the party animal would not be a party without you. Are you taken lessons from onslow?
