Wow, what a great message board!

I'm new to the bulldog game... have had labs my whole life, but my wife wanted a nice, calm dog who is better looking than his papa, so, after much saving, English Bulldog it is! We're proud parents of Vito (possible pics to come), named after the Godfather due to his resemblence to Marlon Brando (I know I know, Italian name for an English Bulldog... I honestly didn't even think about it). He's a great dog, and I don't think I'll ever have another breed, so I'd better get a raise pretty soon! He's almost 8 months old and is a big boy... almost 60lbs! He loves to play, sleep, chew, play, and sleep. He loves to swim when he has his life jacket on, adores kids, loves to go for a walk, and is actually a pretty good retriever (the frisbee is his favorite, although his short snout allows the frisbee to flip up from time to time, and he becomes a blind-bulldog retriever... almost took down the shed!). Well, he'll go get the frisbee, but then likes to play "chase the bulldog" before he gives it back to you. OK, this could go on and on, as you all well know. I look forward to checking up on this board in the future! I think I'm hooked already!

PICS!!! I think! Here goes nothin'... and nothin' we got... can you guys see the pics on here? All I see is the urls!

Pics of Vito!

OK, I think I can figure this out... here are four pics, one before he moved in with us, one when he's just a little pup fresh from a trip outside in the snow (my wife is the one who dressed him up in a bathrobe and bunny slippers), and two while sitting on the couch at the cabin (almost 7 months old at the time). We're going back to the cabin next weekend... will work on pics of the life-jacket-swim! His head has continued to grow in the last month... wow, almost two now since these were taken, but you can see that he's definitely a charmer!

OK this is more difficult than it should be for me...

Sorry... I can't figure out how to make it so you can see the pics! I'll figure something out though... bummer!

OK, here's my photobucket website... you should be able to see them via this link... if you can't, please let me know, and I'll keep trying!

PS... how did you teach Orson to do that with the bones!? That's f'n great!
PPS... I wish I had a camera right now... Vito's sleeping on his back, spread eagle, and his lips are flopping back, touching his doggie bed!

Oh My god!!! He is gorgeous! I dig the name Vito. Seems fitting once I saw his pics! Welcome to our "family"!
