So yesterday I had to work in LA all day long, left home about 7:30am and came home around 10pm, so I left Bruno with my dad. Bruno and my dad get along well, in fact, I think Bruno likes my dad more than he likes me. He's always looking for my dad and is more willing to sit with him on the sofa. That's why I feel more comfortable leaving Bruno with my dad, but the thing with my dad is that he's very old fashioned. What I mean by that is his mentality with dogs is "if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for the dog," and that goes for food, shampoo, etc. I always have to tell him that he can't feed Bruno human food EVER! NEVER EVER FEED BRUNO OILY CHINESE FOOD! Anyways, my dad took Bruno to the park yesterday morning, and Bruno (being the troublemaker that he is) rolled himself into a puddle! And after my dad brought him home, he used human shampoo to wash him. For those of you who know me well can probably tell how upset I got when my dad told me this, but I didn't show it, I know he meant well. I just made a mental note to myself that I need to give my dad or whoever is babysitting special instructions for Bruno (I should always prepare for the worst... like Bruno getting dirty at the park!)

I remember the first time we left Bruno with Jarryd's aunts (it was our first time being away from Bruno for a weekend), Jarryd typed up a page and a half, size 12 font, of instructions for his aunts; they were very specific instructions. We don't do that anymore because Bruno is so easy to take care of now that he's older.
Lately, Bruno hasn't been eating his usual two meals a day (one cup per meal); he's only eating one meal at night. He didn't eat at all yesterday! I finally tricked him into eating today by putting a blueberry in his food and once he ate the blueberry from his bowl, he started eating his food. He'll eat treats, but he's more stubborn when it comes to his kibbles (what a stinker). It worries me so much when he doesn't eat because... he's Bruno, he loves to eat! I'm thinking, maybe I'll just feed him once a day, but 1 and a half cup? We feed Bruno Blue Buffalo salmon flavored kibbles... maybe he doesn't like the flavor? I should try switching to another flavor once this bag is done.
For those of you who live in SoCal! There is an IGBULLDOGS SOCAL event on Sunday, August 18, 2013 at 11:00am! It is going to be a HUGE meetup for english and french bulldogs! It will be held at Lake Hollywood Park (3200 Canyon Lake Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027). I will bring it up again later this week to remind you guys! It sounds like a lot of fun! I will be attending with Jarryd and Bruno!
That's all for today! I hope my rambling entertained you guys!
Ian's mom asked us if she could give Violet basil. I said no and she asked why and I just said "she eats dog food"...who asks if they can give a dog basil?
ReplyDeleteAnyway we had Violet eating salmon (Taste of the Wild) and she loved it at first, then out of the blue she decided she didn't want to eat it so we switched to the buffalo flavor and mix in some of the boar flavor. I think Frenchies are just little punks because there are days when she'll only eat a few bites, then the next day she'll eat a full cup and want more. I think they just like to mess with us :)
Yeah! He's totally messing with us! He probably knows that if he doesn't eat then me and Jarryd will give him treats to get some food in him! THAT LITTLE STINKER!!
