Mona wasn't happy when I cleaned her ears this day.

Meet Stuffy.
On the left.
On the right is Wheezy.
There is blood on Wheezy's right pant leg. It is not Stuffy's.
Stuffy does not bleed. Wheezy does. Often, when in contact with Stuffy.

Tor, valiant defender of the hearth. Our American Bulldog.

A perspective shot, all 130 lbs. of him:

American bulldogs are what english bulldogs ought be look like. Tor looks awesome.

My understanding is that the AB is close to what English Bulldogs looked like a few hundred years ago, back when they were butcher's dogs and working farm dogs.

The story goes that they were brought to America by settlers and kept as a pure breed in the American South, while in the rest of the States they were bred with terriers to create the more aggressive Pit Bull, and in England they were bred with Pugs to create a smaller, exaggerated version that was suitable for indoor life.

The modern American Bulldog (not the bullshit penis-replacing "American Bully" abomination that has become a status symbol in the gangsterpussy mouthbreather douchebag demographic) is supposed to be a reconstruction of the original working bulldog.

They aren't allowed because that is against the rules. Before l got her that was my biggest fear...having a cat scratch my shoos.

If they scratch my shoos they get wood on their fur. She makes a good wood rack for when l am about to make the fire.

Can I ask why you are blacking out your photos?

The mat l was using at the time had some grubby marks from bringing wet wood in from the yard during the winter, so it didn't look so nice. It wasn't too bad, but there were some marks. No big deal, but maybe a big deal to some igents who like fancy mats.

I am inclined to believe most AB's, especially the big Johnson line dogs, are a good deal large than the historic working/baiting bull dogges of yore. I love your characterization of the American Bully and its fans. I note with dismay that the UKC has recognized those damn things. This considerably diminishes the pride I once felt in getting the Tosa recognized by the UKC. I played a key role in that business. I fear the Tosa is nearly extinct in the USA.
 
Meet Dave: Not exactly my pet, but I'm the go to guy for treats when we both are in the workshop. Unlike me Dave could do this all day.
