Everybody Loves Ralphy - I'm Ralph The Staffordshire Bull Terrier!

Ranked #6,639 in Pets & Animals, #165,336 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

The First Ever Lens By A Staffordshire Bull Terrier - Ralphy has arrived on Squidoo!!

Okay Everyone - After a lot of bone crunching, I've finally decided to put together my own Squidoo lens, and for those of you who haven't met me before, I'm Ralph the Staffie.

Just like my bed, my house, and my car, and my gardens - this is my lens.
I'm going to keep this updated as often as I can and let you know what my humans have been up to, my other doggie mates (Big Up for Douglas the Springer)!!! and to let you know what life is like only one foot off the ground.

Keep coming back every now and then, because this is the only Squidoo lens ever put together by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and I'm going to fill it with loads of good stuff like photos and videos!

BTW, I don't want to sound vain or anything, but be honest, is my coat really shiney in this photo or what !!

This Week I Am Mostly Barking At........

THE CAT NEXT DOOR !!!!!

I know, I know, he's ugly, and totally lacks charisma, but try telling my neighbours that.
Somehow they just can't see it. C'mon....could you bring yourself to stroke that???

What Weather Do I Like Best?

I know it looks obvious but it's........

Ralph The Staffie

VERY DEEP SNOW

And Nope - I'm not lying down - I'm trying to find my pully rope

Things That Really Annoy Me - Part One

on patrol

It annoys me when somebody plants trees and things in my garden without permission.

No Ralphpermission, no tree, that's the rule. Get used to it.

Try planting something without permission and you'll come home to this every time...........Never underestimate the Jaws of Ralph.

Buy a Book and Help Dogs Less Lucky Than Me

Every cent and penny earned I give straight to charity.

Let's face it, my humans are lucky. I stick around them because they treat me well, and give me a great life.
My buddy Douglas likewise.
But we both know there are brothers and sisters out there nowhere near as lucky as we are.
Some of them don't even have their own humans.

These are all great books, and if you're looking to purchase a book on how to get us to do nice things, buying one of these ensures all the profit goes to dogs less lucky than Douglas and me.
Buy a book and help make their life great, and I won't come round and chew your car tires.
How's that for a deal?

Things That Really Annoy Me - Part Two

Troublesome Bushes and Shrubs - They REALLY Annoy Me!

Every now and then, certain plants in the garden look at me the wrong way.

I can't let them get away with it.

Things That Turn Up In My Garden

Lost Racing Pigeons!

Ralph the Staffie loves pigeons

Five or six of them, every morning, come down and sit on the garage roof staring at me, all the time making silly 'vroo vroo' noises.
Or worse still, they actually land on the grass and start WALKING ABOUT!

They might think they've got the edge with those wing things, but I'm working on it.

Big Up For Douglas

English Springer Spaniels - So Lah di Dah Posh

Here's my walking partner Douglas. He's well mannered, well trained, well behaved and although he's only a kid, he's good company.
Ok, I'll be honest, I don't really do well trained as a behaviour pattern, and I think I'm nearly well behaved, but you can't get away from the fact that I'm good looking, and I think that carries me forward.
Big muscles, strong jaws, really good looking - come on girls, who needs well trained?

The great thing about Douglas is he's always up for a good couple of miles running and sniffing once a week when we meet up, none of this locked in a yard thing for me and him, oh no - it's got to be two or three miles a day or else.

The two Humans we own, and that come out with us every day, seem to be good friends also, which helps keep them amused whilst we get on with checking things out.

My Photographs

I take all my own snaps - Welcome to the world of the cameraman one foot off the ground

This is the guy who sometimes goes with me for a walk. He also lives in the same house, and drives me from place to place.
Believe me, every dog needs a driver.

Picture Gallery 2

This is the lady, (using the latestdog restraint techniques on Douglas), that Douglas employs as housekeeper. She drives Douglas about, provides food on demand (as it should be) and who's also allowed to take him for walks.

Crazy socks.

Stimulus says:

Send him over to pull up some bushes and weeds here. He could also have some fun chasing our bear as seen on my jacuzzibear lens. This is a great lens. I love it.

says:

i have a Staffordshire bull terrier and they are wonderful pets and great companions thanks for sharing snow picks and my staffie loves the snow too he would eat it all if i let him

notimetoulouse says:

I agree with Ralph totally.
Why?
Because he has one of my slippers and won't give it back until I vote for him. That's why.

    Overflown by an Angel! Fantastic!!!!!

This is where I host ALL my other websites for less than $3 a month!

Save both your time and your money by choosing the most user friendly webhost out there...

I have had four different web hosts. All used cpanel and I had to use FTP file transfer apps to put my blogs and sites up on the web, and I have to admit it was difficult and time consuming. I needed to find a host that took all that weight off me, and allowed me to concentrate on my writing.

After a mornings research I found iPages, and a quick visit to their site convinced me that they had a real edge over the competition.

I signed up with them, and all I do now is input my URL, and their unique setup wizards do the rest, without me having to touch a thing. If I need to check anything out they have 24/7 live chat with a techperson who sorts your problem out on the spot. Fantastic service.

Have a look at their site and see how much time and money you could save by switching hosts to iPage. They're new, they're innovative, and their service is ridiculously good.
