Stolen English Bulldog Puppies...... HELP!!!!!!

Below are 2 pictures of Lola's brother & cousin that were stolen from the breeder's house last Thursday in Freehold, New Jersey.

They were stolen from the front of their house.

There is a $5,000 reward for their safe return.

I know a lot of you reading my blog don't live in NJ or the surrounding area but MANY OF YOU DO!!! I check my Google Reader everyday and a TON of people are from NJ, NY, & PA...

***PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP***

EVERYONE CAN HELP EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN NEW JERSEY

PLEASE REPOST THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE OR BLOG ALONG WITH THEIR PICTURES...

Oliver was someone's puppy. The breeders were petsitting him while his very, VERY now devastated owners were on vacation. They want him back - no questions asked just returned safely.

THIS IS OLIVER - Oliver is a 14 week old English Bulldog Puppy

THIS IS HARLEY - Harley is an almost 12 week old English Bulldog puppy.

Brian and I actually named Harley! We really loved him as well but really wanted a girl. If we had more room we would have bought him too!! I feel so sad and hope they are ok!!

If you see them or know anything please feel free to email me or leave a comment on this post! Anything you can do, especially spreading the word is greatly appreciated!

THANKS,

DANA

My Sleepy Puppy

Skater Dog

Today Lola had her 2nd skateboarding lesson and I will say she did better then I expected!! Brian and I are hoping that one day she will be as good as Tillam the dog in the video. I guess this will be my hobby fpr the summer. A skateboarding bulldog - what's cooler then that? lol

If you have any, and I mean ANY tips on how to train Lola to skateboard it would be greatly appreciated!! And I promise I will try and post video or pics soon... Right now I'm just too consumed with trying to get her on the board and stay on the board...

Wish us luck.. We are having lesson #3 tonight when Brian gets home..

And check out the video. It really is amazing and sooooo funny... That pup is sooo better then I could ever be, lol...

I'm still here...

OK... so i've been so busy with the end of classes and getting Lola that I haven't been able to Blog. It feels like forever!! But I've really been out of touch and spending quality time with Lola.. And I've been spending quality time at the beach while she takes her naps..

But she has been doing really, really well!! And she is sooooo much fun! Everyone loves her. I went to PetSmart the other day and it took me over 2 hours to buy a few things because every time we turned on to another aisle someone stopped us to look at her and ask me about her... I wont lie, I love it!! Every night Brian and I take her out on to the front lawn which is right across the street from the Beach and the Boardwalk which means there are people all over.. We take her out to run on the grass and get some exercise and since we are training her off of the leash it's good practice... People just love her!!! She really does have a great personality!! But like any puppy she is in her teething stage and loves to bite feet and fingers!

The housetraining has been going great considering she is only 9 weeks old. She barks at night while we are sleeping if she has to go out and she has only had about 3 accidents in the house which were really all my fault because I couldn't get my shoes on fast enough. And those accident were last week.. Since about Saturday she has been going in to the kitchen by our back door when she needs to go out. I also take her as soon as she wakes up and about 15 minutes after she eats breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And then just to play it safe I take her out about every 30 minutes give or take. I guess that's the key.. Not bad for a lil baby puppy right?

The only thing that has not been going well is when we need to leave her. We decided not to crate her but to gate her in the hallway with her bed, water, and safe toys while we are gone. I also line the floor completely with newspaper and set up her puppy pad incase she can't hold it. Yesterday was the 1st time we left her for more than an hour. I had to babysit a half day so she was alone from about 1 to 6.. I made sure to tire her out really well so she was sleeping when I left her.. But from what my understanding neighbor said she crys really bad while we are gone. I attribute it to her being a puppy and not wanting be be alone. But what can I do? I've left our shirts with our scent on it and everything. She must also get mad and dig in her water because we come home and the area by her water bowl is soaking wet, it's actually pretty funny. But now I get nervouse that she won't have water cause she spilt it all, lol!!!

Anyway, things are good and we are loving our Little Lola.. She is sooo much fun and spunky! Like I had mentioned before we are training her off the lease. we want her to be obediant and listen to us without wearing a leash. But I have begun trying to take her for a walks, eventhough I like to call them "Drags" becuase she doesn't move. It's more me draggin her then her walking, lol... It'll just take time.. She's learning and doing a great job!!

Check out some of the pictures below... A couple of the 1st few were taken by my good friend Pete. Check out his site, he takes amazing shots!!

PS - I did great on my final observation and will receive my entire bonus!! WOO-HOO.... Way to kick off my summer vacation!

Welcome

We welcomed Lola in to our house on Friday, June 19th.

Lola and her Litter

There were 4 puppies in Lola's litter and the week before she was born her Aunt had 7 puppies... So you can imagine the heaven I was in with 11 little English Bulldog Pups running around!!

Only 2 days and I get to bring her home!!!
