Very dorky training video (Liesje)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I'm such a dork. I was bored so I made a video of some basic obedience practice. Usually she is more precise and intense, but towards the end she ran away and did a really nasty poo (yes, I edited it out) so I don't think she was feeling very well. Ooops! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epo4TiX_Sfs

Mini bulldogs?

My cousin is obsessed with wanting a mini bulldog. Not right now, but in the future when she's living with/married to her boyfriend. My first search of them yielded a site saying they were pug/bulldog crosses, so I told her about designer dogs, why they're bad, etc. Then I found out that really...
