When you're not an only dog, some days things can get complicated...

You might find yourself being the under dog.

Or you might have to resort to castaways to use as pacifiers...

But then again, there are some days when things just go your way. The others take notice...

Like, for instance, an old stump of wood...

Though one or two might show curiosity...

Their attitude immediately becomes (upon learning it's NOT food)...

Then, it's finders keepers!!!

A boy needs to win once in a while. Otherwise, it's back to...

!!!Whatever!!!!

If you need a laugh, love, or just to snuggle, these little guys can do it all. English Bulldogs love to snore louder than you and they make it  almost like a snoring musical.

Boaz at only at two months is a whopping 20 pounds and loves to play with his sister, Cookie, weighing in at 15 pounds. They love each other so well. And love to dress up in their rain coats if it's raining and their shirts and jackets, yes they are spoiled! But how could you not love those sweet wrinkled faces, and kisses.

When they feel its time to sleep they pretty much fall over right where they are, then there are times that Boaz says he needs his mommy's arm to suck on until he passes out, and Cookie gets her toy piggy and sucks on her foot until she passes out.

They love to play and run through the house. Every once in a while you hear a thud and know that one of them ran into the wall head first. If brother is beating up on sister she really gives it back to him and when she does he knows to run, and run fast, or he will get a love bite on his cute striped bottom.

Cookie and Boaz say in snort code that only "bullies" mothers understand thank you for reading about us and we hope you love our sweet wrinkled faces!

Can you believe it? My puppies won a gift from Augie & Ti's website!

And before you could say, "Zippy-dee-do-dah, we are tired of waitin'", the box arrived!

Look what it contained!

Since this was such a superb gift, it needed guarding.

But finally, finally, supper time arrived!

It passed her inspection with flying colors!

And it passed his too!

Thank you, Augie & Ti, for this delicious prize!

This time of year there is so much hectic and frenzy, and rushing from here to yon that Doggy Tales is going to sleep right through it. 

We'll see you in January!!!

The Family That Loves Together

Contributed by site member Jean Fraser

Jean Fraser is the mum of Gilly Fraser who recently graced us with her extraordinary story of the canine loves of her life. Her mum contines the tale below:

I really have not much to add to Gilly's story, except to say that we have been dog lovers all our lives, and have had loads of fun and love with them. I had a beautiful Cavalier Spaniel which Gilly gave me one year at Christmas, he was a little ball of fluff but utterly adorable, I had him for seven years, but unfortunately due to too much interbreeding, by the time he had reached six years old he started taking some sort of fits, and although we did our best with the Vet's help to keep him stable, it was not to be, and he just got worse, and with a very heavy heart I decided that he must be put to sleep -- one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but I could see him suffer no longer.

He was the most likeable dog, with not a bad bone in his body, he loved people, especially children, and he was my constant pal, very obedient and really a clean doggie. A few months after he died I was persuaded to take another dog, it did not take much coaxing though, as I hated the house without one, I then got my present dog, a Shih Tzu, who is also a wee character, not as biddible, and much more the boss than Donnie was, but loveble all the same.

He certainly has a mind of his own and loves to get his own way, again I am fortunate in the fact that he loves children and people and loves company, at the moment Gilly is checking out the little Shorkie, as we think she will make an ideal pal for Fraser, I had her for a couple of days on trial, and they really got on very well, but we needed to have a vet check before we decide, so all is looking good, and I think she is going to have a clean bill of health, and hopefully will come here and make her home with Fraser and me.
