Amazing Little Mama

Harley wants nothing more than to be with her babies. I just marvel at what a wonderful little mother she is. Those babies are her everything. It's going to be so hard for her when they start going to their new homes. This is the part that breaks my heart, mostly for her. If we don't sell Holly we'll keep her. I feel so blessed that the families who have found us are taking our babies and wonder if we are meant to keep Holly or not. Time will tell. Harley had a tough time the first time when all the babies left. So did I. I think she and I cried for a week, it was so quiet around here. The babies love to run around on the floor now and they don't like being in the pen anymore. I took the kiddie pool out today so they'd have more room in there. Little Holly went jetting around in circles tearing up the newspaper and being so cute! They all thought that newspaper was the funnest stuff! We have such a special litter this time. I say that every time though. I love their little personalities. I'm totally enjoying them and tomorrow I'm only going to write a short blog so I can PLAY!!

Love Sponges

Today I'm starting a blog just for my English Bulldogs. I want to be able to offer more information to those who visit Tank'R Tots and this is an excellent way to do that on a daily basis. Every day I learn more about my dogs. With four of them it seems lessons are on the horizon constantly! They are teaching me more than facts and when a dog can refine your own personality it's a magical connection that benefits everyone. I've always been a dog person and so has Craig. That was one of the things that attracted us to each other. Our love for animals. He excitedly told me about English Bulldogs when we met. I just always thought they were "mean" dogs because of how they looked. Was I ever WRONG!! They are huge cuddly teddy bears!!! They have no idea how big they are and think they are lap dogs for life. They slobber and kiss you all over and want nothing more in life than to be with you. I have one of them touching me at all times. They lean against you or sit on your foot or look at you with those expressive eyes asking for a hug or a kiss. They are little "kids" who can't get enough love. Love sponges I call them. So this is the start of my Blog about my four fuzzy kids. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
