I am Perfect. I'm a STAR

Someone is smart at Squidoo!

Only the PERFECT Bulldogs get a STAR at Squidoo.

This was a UNANIMOUS vote, you know?

It HAD to be!

There are plenty of brilliant Squidooers out there!

Now, go see WHY!

YOU think bulldogs are like THIS, don't you?

The Girls LOVE Thor!

Thor cruisingLucy and Thor are partners in crime whenever they get together.

She submitted this photo to a soft drink company who is seeking pics for their bottles and cans.

When Lucy is around for a visit, there are only TWO choices.

Either Thor is Lucy's pillow, or Lucy is Thor's pillow. No other options.

He's a bulldog, alright!

Wear Your Goggles!

Or you may get injured!

No matter what the weather, or temperature, or what speed, I just GOTTA have my head out the window. Almost a third of dog injuries occur this way.
At 35 mph a bug can take out an eye.

So I wear goggles when I'm in the car. My goggles are comfortable, roomy goggles. They don't squash my eyes!

For safety sake, get some good goggles and WEAR THEM!

Harley Goggles are GREAT for Thor

Important eye protection for bulldogs

Bobster Phoenix OTG Interchangeable Harley Touring Motorcycle Goggles Eyewear - Black/Smoke/Amber/Clear / One Size Fits All

Amazon Price: $49.95 (as of 05/30/2012)Buy Now

Harley Davidson goggles turn out to be the best and safest goggles for Thor.

They are road-worthy, so his eyes are well protected from bugs, rocks and even road sand or dirt kicked up by vehicles.

The also are comfortable enough that he doesn't mind wearing them, they don't squash his very big eyes, and the lenses change so that on darker days he doesn't have to have the sunglass darkness.

They needed a bit of extra help from some elastic to adjust where the goggles need to be secured under his chin, but they've been fantastic and have lasted him for years!

Thor LOVES his soccer balls at the Bark Park

bulldog ball!

Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Soccer Ball

Amazon Price: $13.40 (as of 05/30/2012)Buy Now

This is a very sturdy soccer ball that will hopefully last a long time.

Dog's teeth go through a soccer ball immediately, though Thor is very careful about that and even his regular soccer balls last him for a year or more.

But this one is specially designed to last, even if his friends bite through, so the fun doesn't have to end the first time a buddy gets the ball.

Thor at the Bark Park

One of his fans shot a little video!

Today we got word that a fan of Thor's at the Bark Park took a little video of him playing soccer with some friends. It was put on youtube, and we have it!

I NEED A KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come home with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, please, please come home with me! My mama will feed you, I NEVER go hungry! I'll share my bed, and you can play with my toys and I have lots of chewies, and I'll keep you busy and you'll never be bored and it'll be great... COME HOME WITH ME!!!! I NEED A KID!!!!!

Bark Parks are for Adopting a Kid

I'll take THIS ONE

Cole and I are special buddies. We met at the local bark park, and have lots in common. We have the same fashion outlook, we wear the same kinds of vests, we're both really good looking with big, beautiful toothy smiles!

Man, can this kid play soccer!

We look for each other on weekends. My plan is to bring this one home. I'm KEEPING him!

I can't believe his mom had other ideas! NO WAAAAAYYYY!!!!!

I'm Widely Famous for my Happy Roll

Tug-Team Yank Offs

Sometimes the tug team takes me on, and its a real challenge- just look at the muscles on those two!

Gimme that ball! I'm gonna get that ball and make you run...

Thirsty!

Sharing at the Park

Even though it doesn't look like it, I do have 4 leg pals, and Loki is one of them. We wrestle like mad, run like crazy, and swipe each other's sticks.

But don't let that fool you. When we collapse, we lay in the mud together, and when we're thirsty we share!

OOOO Baby knocked me DOWN!!!!!!!!

Second ONLY to the Soccer Ball...

Holds up under a bulldog's jaw!

Horse Jolly Ball 10-Inch Red

Amazon Price: $17.89 (as of 05/30/2012)Buy Now

While this ball was designed for horses to play with, it has really been a fantastic ball for Thor.

American bulldogs are all jaw, and most toys don't hold up.

This one can go in the Great Lake nearby, or sit out in the snow and ice, and still the ball is great for play.

The handle definitely gives Thor the advantage, but he has fun, fun, fun with it.

    Bulldogs, much like their cousins the Pitbull have garnered an unfair reputation across the country. Any dog, regardless of breed, is only what you raise them to be and bulldogs can be just as sweet and warm as any other breed out there.
