My furry friend

This is my awesome dog, Duce. Yes, he's the same type of dog as the old "Spuds MacKenzie" dog mascot for Bud Light products in the late 1980's. This type of dog is also the same type of dog as the white Target dog featured in a lot of their marketing. He's the best dog a boy could ask for as a friend. He is playful like a puppy, but can chill and be a great couch companion. They are excellent pets for households with children. You can find more information about them here http://www.akc.org/breeds/bull_terrier/index.cfm and as the first paragraph states, "Playful and clownish, the Bull Terrier is best described as a three year-old child in a dog suit. This is so true for this breed. Another great thing about my dog is that he is protective of his family, but especially whenever dad leaves the house he's on guard the whole time. So, mom and I always feel safe when we're home alone because Ducey Boy turns into an affordable 24 hour security system making everyone who approaches the house fully aware that he's there. He does nothing but sleep when dad does come home because he's usually tired from doing his protective watch. He's a great dog and a great family member.


Taking a nap together. We both love nap time so we get along really well during this time.

A few months ago Duce hurt his paws so I pulled a bunch of blankets together and made a little bed for him. Then I sat by him to comfort him and keep him company. He'd do the same for me, right?

Don't get me wrong we get along and I love him, but we also play pretty rough, dad included. The following can be heard non-stop throughout the day. "Quit messing with Duce." "Stop hurting Duce." "Please leave Duce alone." "Duce has had enough." Duce does get tired of me beating him up all the time, but at the end of the day we are still good friends.

We sure do love that Dutie Boy, don't we Mans! Bullfrog & Gammy send their love. Give our boy a hug from his Gammy!
