It's been one year since we adopted Doug. It seems like routine caring for him now but it wasn't always so. Adopting him was our first challenge, Bulldogs aren't exactly cheap, but Doug's big baby eyes had my heart hooked. So we set off one Saturday to sell my wedding ring and after hitting all the local jewelers we stooped as low as a pawn shop, where we were offered 300 big ones for my lovely wedding ring, not cool! We brainstormed other ways to gather money and ultimately ended our day with me crying and John super bummed. Alas I decided to call the breeder and beg him to take a post dated check...he agreed and off we went to pick up Doug. Excitement filled our bodies as we lay eyes on Douglas for the first time. We loaded his little bum into the car and again off we went back to Ogden. I truly believe Doug was essential to our growth as a couple and future parents...we wipe his bum (frequently), clean up puke at least once a day and his needy childlike personality always keeps us busy pampering him. So here's to one year of having Sir Douglas Von Cypress to keep us company...love that little monster baby!
What sweet pictures of Doug when he was "little". Yes, I'd say he's some good training if your wiping bums and cleaning up barf. Does he back talk? Happy 1 year anniversary Doug!
