The Christmas Bulldog

Mom was out shopping this morning and when she came home she was carrying a white plastic bag and smiling from ear to ear! This always means good stuff!

He seems pretty harmless! I think I'll call him Brandy!

















Just about the time I was beginning to trust this happy fella, Mitch comes racing in wanting to know if it was a he or a she!

Mitch isn't as timid as I am! He's pretty brave for a youngster! I'm not sure Brandy the Bulldog was too happy to meet Mitch!

Look at the look on his face!

Mom reached over and touched Brandy's left paw and he started to sing and bounce! OMG am I safe?!







On another note - mom wanted to have some fun so she braided my beard! Don't I look stylish?!

So until next time..................

Love ya lots,

Maggie

  4. That is some present you got. I think Louie would have grabbed it and shook it. He doesn't seem to be afraid of anything either..
    Oh and you look so handsome with your braid!!

  8. Hey Mags, You have a big bark! I like that. I was quite taken with your video and am now convinced you are on the other side of the front door. I've been telling mom that I think I should go outside to see if you are there, but she's just laughing at me. Grrrrrr.

  9. Oh I can't believe your mom braided your beard. You still look beautiful anyways. Oh that singing dog sure is funny. I am glad you told it the rules of the house.

  10. Maggie, your beard is great. You've got a pretty good chance of winning the beard growing comp.

    That Brandy is a hoot. We see you gave him a good talking too.

  11. Oh Maggie, you are afraid of a dog that is so much smaller like that? hee. I have a little dog over her that sings too. I attack it just like how I attack that noisy monster in the house.

    Maggie, you should be glad that you are not made to keep long coat. If not, I guess your mum will make braids all over your body.

    Luv,
    Snowball

  12. Hahaha! Brandy is pretty funny! Maggie, I think you proved that you're bark is louder and bigger than hers.

    Have fun with your new friend!

  15. Maggsie!!!

    I LOVE your bark, and you're so cute making up to that singing pup. I can tell by the look in your eye that you want to be buddies, but he's a strange beast.

    Your beard is, by far, the longest beard I am aware of. The braid is a nice touch (thanks for rubbing it in - my beard is now about 1/2 an inch. Thanks, Stella).

    Goober love,
    Stanley

  18. Hi, Maggie
    Sure Brandy is a nice toy. I'd do the same if I had one like him. Barking and barking! Looks like Mitch is not a shy boy!
    How long is your beard now??
    Have a good night

  19. Hi Maggie,

    Your beard is looking so pawsome! I'm not sure if anyone else does have a chance against you.

    Your new toy is so funny. I'm like Mitch, I forget about fear and just jump in there. Has the bulldog been demolished yet? I pulled the 'voice box' out of one of my singing stuffies. I know, I know, bad Kirby.

    Your pal,
    Kirby

  20. Maggie!! Oh my gosh, your never gonna believe this but I think we have Brandy's brother!! You gotta check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUV8vk9ueQ8

    Your beard braiding is very cool Maggie, we call it "plaiting" here in the UK!

  25. Hey Maggie, Brandy is scary! His voice sounds a bit like Tom Waits! If you need a hand (or paw) putting him in his place just let me know and I'll be right over in full destruction mode! Hehehe! J x

    PS love the plaited beard look.

  37. Maggie
    You must have been very still to let your Mum plait your beard like that. I would have just fidgeted all the time.
    Thank you very much for our Christmas card, we are still doing ours!!! Apparently Taffy and I must stop arguing and then they will get done a lot quicker! Hmmmmm.

  41. Hi Maggie!
    Wow, something like that happened to me this weekend! I met this little white Chistmas fluff thing that bounced around and sang! I am going to post pictures of it soon.
    Love Clover xo

  42. Looks like Brandy has drank too much brandy!! No wonder you're barking at him like crazy.

    The beard does look quite stylish...I'd need a fake beard to keep up. My chin fur is tooooo short.

  43. Hey Maggie, besides looking adorable with your braid beard, you sure are self-disciplined! I think I would have tried to bite Brandy's singing head off!

  47. What a big serious bark you have there, Maggie! I'm going to watch your vid a few times so I can practice. Got to get rid of my high-pitched boowoowooooo girly bark.

    Anyway, I totally understand your suspicion towards Brandy. Your folks obviously didn't grow up watching Dr Who. Brandy is sinister. Keep an eye on him.
