Dogs, never a dull moment. This recent one is up there with the puppy poo party under the bed and the cat vomiting in my hair… 🤮.

At 2am the dogs were barking at something outside. This happens most nights at random times when the dogs think a croaking frog is trying to break into the house or a screaming bat is stealing our car. So in my semiconscious sleepwalking state, I did the usual in the pitch black… I felt my way into the into the living room with my eyes still closed (trying to pretend I was still asleep), called them in and locked them inside the house in their special playpen. Meanwhile our 11month old puppy Mack decided to give my pyjama clad body a full tongue bath… against my will I should add… but I was tired and he got me while my defences were down, licking my legs, arms, feet, whatever he can because at 25kg and at 2am I was struggling to stop him.
And that’s when I smelled it… cat s**t!!! Fresh, obnoxiously rank, like something died a week ago and has been festering in the sun… cat s**t! At first I just hoped that one of them had stepped in it but when I flicked on the light it quickly became apparent it was far, far, far worse.
Mack was standing there with yellow cat s**t bubbling like a foam party from his fat sloppy chops, smeared across his face from his interaction with my legs, arms, hands, pyjamas… you name it. I don’t know why I smelled my arm, I think I needed clarification that I did indeed have liquid cat s**t all over me. One whiff…and situation confirmed 🤮.

Now I’ve worked with animals my entire life, cleaning up after them. I worked in a kennels and catteries for quarantine, vet surgeries and wildlife rescues. I’ve stood in a stable full of elephant s**t, tossing it out to the poo cart with my bare hands. I have smelled every animal s**t you can possibly think of and it hasn’t phased me… but this… this was next level. My stomach turned instantly. Maybe it was the thought that he had actually eaten this vile substance but I started dry retching. I sprung out of the dog pen and flew down the hallway to our ensuite. So at 2am there I am having a full shower, scrubbing my skin within an inch of its life to get the smell out. At 2:30am and near on bleeding, I crawled into bed next to Paul Williams who leads a very privileged life with his selective hearing and didn’t even wake up. But that was not even the worst part…

At 5am I woke to Mack whining in the house. I assumed he probably wanted to go out for a wee so once again, eyes closed, I felt my way through the darkness to their playpen. The smell hit me like a freight train before I even got to their pen. 1000% worse than before, which I didn’t think was even possible. I flicked on the light and there was Mack and our other bulldog Lili, standing in a massive puddle of cat-s**t dog vomit, while Mack was enthusiastically demonstrating what I looked like on most Sundays morning back in 1999, bringing up every last bit of his odorous meal and power spewing it onto the floor, the bed, the walls… everything, much like a Pro Hart painting.
I immediately started dry retching again, but this time I was actually going to vomit. I locked them outside while I scooped up the regurgitated faeces in a towel, doing everything within my power to stop from up chucking into the towel myself. I threw it outside the door while I then ajax’ed everything in the playpen.
20mins later, finally finished and smelling like a pine forest I looked outside to see both Mack and Lili laying all over the cat s**t spew towel and grinding it into their coat for that lingering effect that dogs love so much.
So at 5am as the sun crept over the horizon I was outside washing both dogs because I couldn’t take him to the vet in our new car smelling like a sewerage plant. I thought at that point it couldn’t get worse… but… it gets worse…

Fast forward to 8am, dressed in my best business attire, and after an hour and a half trapped in the enclosed cabin space of the car on a 35 degree day outside with Mack panting his cat s**t breath all over me and having it recirculated by the air conditioning and blowing it pack in my face like an fowl smelling arctic wind, we finally got to the vet.
The first thing they did was take his temperature. Being a boisterous puppy I grabbed him around the waist with my hand on his belly to hold him still while the vet plunged the thermometer into his a**s. Apparently this is a HUGE turn on for an 11month old puppy and he promptly ejaulated all over my hands. 😱I had a long sleeve blouse on and all I could think was that I was going to get dog sputum all over my work clothes and I wasn’t sure how I would explain that to my colleagues. I stood up with a look of horror on my face. I couldn’t even find the words, I think my brain had just reached its capacity for dealing with unspeakable atrocities for the day. I held my hands out to the vet looking like Spider-Man’s first attempt at throwing web had gone horribly wrong and mouthed the word, “Help!”. Of course the vet thought it was hilarious and handed me some baby wipes while laughing her head off at my request to be saved from my potential There’s Something About Mary moment.
As traumatic as my morning was, when I told my boss at work about my morning she laughed so hard she cried actual tears, so at least my life brings some joy to the world, even if it means I end up covered in cat s**t and dog spoof within the space of 6 hours.

🥈 R/UP BOB🥈
Manly & District kennels & DTC Inc Show (NSW)

Thanks to Karen Todd and Steven (looking dapper mate!) for showing him for me. Mack came second to The Irishman. If you’re a young dog and you’re going to be beaten by another dog I’m pretty stoked it was that dog 😍. No points but mum is strutting around like a puffer fish back here in QLD telling everyone who doesn’t show dogs (and doesn’t care) just how proud she is (and still denying she spelled his name wrong on the application🤣). 🎉🎉🎉

I’d like to say a big shoutout to Karen Todd and hubby Steve for taking my MackMuffin and making him into a MackMan. Karen and Steve have been teaching Mack the ways of the warrior when it comes to shows because, let’s face it, I’m rubbish 🥴.

My most common comment from the sidelines is “That dog stacked itself perfectly… until you moved its leg” followed closely by “What were you doing with that chain hanging down around her legs”, “Why was her head down the whole way around the ring”, “Where are your treats”, and occasionally from a new person… “Are you new to showing too?” 🤦🏼‍♀️ I admit being a show pro is hard when you work in the city from 6am-7pm… but I def am rough. 🫠

They’re doing such a great job with Mack , I do actually think It’s probably me who should be staying at Karen’s… so don’t be surprised if you see me camped out the front in the near future. I’ve seen what their dogs eat and I’m down with that, it’s better than my cooking (who am I kidding?!, I don’t have time to cook, it’s sachet soup or takeout). 😝.

This is a call out to all the lovers of our beautiful brachy breeds. Minis Rescue does amazing things and gives a second chance to so many of our squishies in need. If you can spare the cost of 1 coffee ($5) to support this rescue in their mounting vet bills please click on the link 💕💕💕

To our loyal and new followers, this is a post we really didn’t want to write. We’ve just had a board meeting and we have no choice but to put it all on the line tonight.

It’s Bridie Smith and Jenny McDonald here, President and Vice-President of this amazing rescue - Mini’s Bulldog Rescue Club. We, with the help of many amazing volunteers have dedicated our lives to saving precious bulldogs facing their darkest hours. It’s what we do best and to be honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

However, tonight is the night we ask for your help. We urgently need to get the financial position of Mini’s Bulldog Rescue Club under control.

We’re asking 13 of you to kickstart our fundraiser for Patty, Coco, Bubba, Lola and Terry who all need urgent help by clicking here now: https://mbrc.giveeasy.org/help-us-in-our-time-of-need/

Our inbox has not stopped pinging and our phones have not stopped ringing over the past few weeks. Actually that is an understatement. Foster carers have had no rest. 2am emergency vet visits, difficult conversations with specialist vets, calls for help on weekends and public holidays, it has not stopped.

The vet bills have built up every day beyond what we had budgeted for and as we’re writing this we’re stressed about getting these back under control. We love what we do, we wouldn’t replace it for anything but the financial side really stresses us.

We’ve launched a number of fundraisers this year, but most haven’t met the total needed and this is stacking up, it is crunch time for Mini’s Bulldog Rescue.

It’s mostly eye specialist care and surgery that is needed. Patty and Coco have severe cherry eye, Bubba has severe entropion and Lola has an ulcer (and suspected entropion). They are all suffering from severe dry eye. And Terry needs BOAS/airway surgery. The list goes on. We need to help these bulldogs and so many more.

We’ve helped so many bulldogs this year, saved many lives, found amazing forever homes but tonight we have no choice. We desperately need these funds to continue saying YES.

Our team is dedicated. We will do whatever it takes. It’s our promise to you. We make a big difference to the life of each bulldog we help.

Tonight, we are asking for your urgent help.

We need to raise at least $25,000 to get our vet bills under control.

It’s just so important. This is our SOS for your help. We receive no government grants or support so every dollar that you donate goes straight to those pups and dogs in need.

Just $5 from each and every one of you would get us to our goal. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will help us so very much.

If you can please write the word DONE below after you have donated and please please share this far and wide. We need everyone to see how hard things are for dedicated rescues like us.

We're really hoping and crossing everything that by morning time we will have hit our goal ### Let’s do this for Patty, Coco, Bubba, Lola & Terry and all those bulldogs that will need our help in the future.

A very special man is looking for a hooman to give his undivided love and attention to!
Meet Murphy, strapping young British Bulldog lad 2 going on 3years. He modelled for ANKC at one stage but was so good looking his teethy smile broke the camera lense… and our hearts. 😍

So are you looking for “The One?” Murphy says he’s it! He’s very outgoing, loves people, hopelessly devoted to the hoomans he picks, and cuddles on the bed. He loves going out but gets over excited, and so stimulated he feels compelled to serenade any dog who will listen with his best high pitch Celine Dion impression, which definitely turns heads but unfortunately has not sold him any albums yet. He may need someone patient who can provide training in that space but would love more socialisation. Murphy is house trained and is not your average lazy, sleep all day bulldog. He’s on the go and full of energy but also enjoys romantic nights in front of the tv and long walks along the beach ( singing Celine Dion of course).

Murphy is so devoted to his hooman he just wants all the attention. And like a jealous boyfriend he unfortunately is causing a rift amongst his current 4 legged furlatmates who have told him his tenancy is up they are re-listing his hammock bed. He may be better suited to an only dog home or one when the other dog is not attention seeking. He gets along well with an older male frenchie and an independent female bulldog but not so great with his owners other male lover… who happens to be another bulldog 🤣.

Home trial first to find the best fit for both Murphy and the new owner. He is currently chemically castrated but under contract needs to be desexed prior to sale. Pm Alison Cook for more details on this handsome young man. Not asking much, enough to cover expenses and ensure a loving new digs.

He’s not a TudorRose but he’s from a quality ANKC show breeder in QLD

The competition was… fierce, but all eyes were on Mack as owned that ring like there was no one else in it, strutting his little butt off making his mum so proud. Well done my little man, your attitude earned you every bit of that ribbon. The judge had some lovely comments including “good bone, lovely head and great enthusiasm”. He also mentioned that he was a lovely brindle. 😍
