Tanner

Some of you might not know that last Saturday, I joined rescue. Again. 

A couple months ago, I was adopted to a great family who loved me a whole lot. But we soon learn that what I didn’t love was one of the family’s dogs. It was a non-Bulldog. I guess I only like my breed because there was trouble in paradise. All I wanted to do was start a fight. And we all know how tense that can be. 

With tears falling like rain, my family and I said our goodbyes. But I’m happy to say I already have another fabulous family!

When I met them, it was love at first sight. My new family could hardly wait until my move-in date.  

See my new skin brother who’s wearing blue? His name is Joey and he is a baseball player. I have not shown him my baseball skills yet, but trust me, when I do, his game will be going to a whole new level! 

My other brother wearing red is Joshua and he plays select soccer. Just wait until I show him my soccer skills! I am a beast on the soccer field. I can push the soccer ball the length of the field and no one can catch me. I predict with my baseball and soccer skills, we all will be going to State! 

I believe that things happen for a reason.   My first adoption was way out west and I saw a part of Texas where tumble weeds roll… I had never seen that! My new family is right here in McKinney, so they already know where Starbucks is and that is where I go on the weekends.

So, all’s well that ends well. Who else can say they had three great families who loved them? A foster family, a previous family and now my new family. I think this is a sweet deal for me, Tanner, the Bulldog who started his rescue journey as a stray.

 

Bulldog friends, today is the happiest day of my life! 

You know, I thought my happiest day was when I hopped on rescue transport wagon. Then, I thought the happiest day was when I joined rescue… I thought those were the best days of my life, but you know what? Those don’t hold a candle to today. Today is my adoption day!  

I really think I am the luckiest Bulldog in the world. Did you see the pics of me with my new family? 

My new mom and dad are Margie and Aaron, my Bulldog brother is Ziggy, my sister is Giget and the tall brown dog with a tail is Jackson. We are what is called a “blended family.” We all came from different places, we are all different ages, but we fit together like a puzzle!

I must say it was love at first sight for me. My new parents got down on the floor and they let me sit in their laps. If there is a Bulldog heaven, I found it. I have waited for this family all my life. 

They drove nine hours today just to meet me. I was nervous. I wanted them to love me. And you know what? They loved me.  They held me, played with me and told about my new home. 

Ya’ll, today I have a new home… a home with love and laughter and I have my very own family. It’s a long way from living on the streets. Thank you, Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue, for rescuing me and finding me my perfect family.

I joined rescue two weeks ago. I was in really bad shape, so I’ve been lounging around, gaining some weight. 

In the town where I lived, I just roamed around. Everyone who saw me said I sure needed to gain some weight. I was not the only one roaming around and it was hard for everyone to get fed. More often than not, I went hungry. To this day, if I had the chance to eat the entire bag of dog food, I would, but the foster lady won’t let me. 

I get a lot of meals throughout the day, so I don’t get sick. Even after I get plenty of food, I feel the need to look for more. I counter surf and turn over the trash, just hoping I can have a bit more.

I’ve had a few baths and ate a pill to evict  my fleas and ticks. Now, I’m waiting on a little surgery for my eyes and a surgery to help me lose that loving feeling. 

I’m enrolled in Manners 101, so I can take a treat nicely and not a finger or two. I don’t mean any harm. If you’ve ever been really hungry for a really long time, then you’d know. It will take me a bit to learn I will never, ever go hungry again and I will never have to roam around town, begging to be fed.  

I’m still really young ~ I think I just celebrated my first birthday. Before you know it, you’ll see me with a new family!
