Bulldogs World

Our guys too. Some just shy away from the slobber and others want them  in a different room. And the rest love them. They can be a little rough for our littlest members (3 yrs old to 6).  When we have all 9 grandkids plus parents over we take them to my older sons house with our pet sitteruntil they all leave. Just a few people we just tell them the dogs live here too. I know how upsetting it is when people fail to appreciate how great they are.  

the few people that come to our house are all dog lovers. Sadly a lot of people don't "get" the bulldog breed, sometimes I'll be walking Zimmer and people just run in the other direction, not realizing he's so friendly and loves everyone but I caution them, he likes to jump and he's big. If your friends/relatives don't think Tucker can be "trusted", explain to them that you would not put anyone in harms way. It's a tough situation because no one loves our dogs like we do.

I've had similiar issues, but my family and friends have come to the realization that you tolerate my animals or don't come over.  This is their house also and I am not going to disrupt their life to make someone else happy.  I  hope things work out.

This is your house and yard. which also belongs to a bulldog. I've had that same problem with my family. You see it's just me and Loulou and Bubba. They have all beg for me to come over. I tell stright up. If Loulou not welcome then I feel I am not either and I will stay home. My kids are grown now. But I wont hoildays or birthdays inless she is invited. They have learn throw the years Bulldogs goes where I go. Family has told me they won't be back because of her. I say well good. Shows how much you care for me after all. Then I tell them that's o.k. I don't want her upset anyway. after you don't see them for awhile they will beg for you to come and bring your Bulldog if you want. your In-Laws should not be this way but some are. I quit talking to mine for 2 years over my dogs. Now she calls me up and says bring Loulou and come visit me. which was a laady who hated me for 35 years when I was married to her son. with me my Baby girl comes first. If she not welcome guess what family or not I can sstay away. I had my daughter boyfriend first time i meet him. He ask if the dogs could be put outside while he was there. He did not like what I had to say. "it's a 105 outside and if anyone is going to be put outside it will be you. This is their home. people are strange  and Family really make a big deal out of everything. I would not let them bother you. They were on his grounds and they should respect it. I'm funny about my dogs. I will tell anyone if you don't like my dogs then stay home. I taake Loulou every christmas to my boyfriends house a alot of people and kids there. They seems to love her come and the kids and family member sit right me so they can play and hug and kiss her. sorry you were put this. But make it clear and stand your grounds wwith your bulldog. You will see they will change just to have you and family around.

My daughter acts like Sophia is a mass murderer and she won't let her kids anywhere near her. I have to put Sophie away if they come over or I get threatened with not seeing my grand babies. Can tell you this much, if my daughter behaved half as well as my dog, she would be invited back more often!!!

I love my bully baby, no one will ever take that away from me.

It will blow over. The thing is that tucker didn't do anything wrong. I love it when people who don't understand dogs at all say "you need to control your dog". I feel like ripping my hair out sometimes. I think this is my last straw. I just wish that people even if they don't like dogs would teach their kids to respect them. Don't force your dislike on your kids, ya know! Unfortunately I'm stuck with these people so I will just have to deal with the crap they bring. Thanks again for the support, it does really help. 

I don't know why some people want to put drama into your life. I think they need a dog to calm them down. However, you should be polite to them as you let them know that it's your house and your dog is family. I doubt that they'll understand, but we do.

I'd be perfectly fine if they didn't come over anymore. It doesn't mean I wouldn't see them again, but everyone would definitely be happier this way.

And so we have decided that we won't have tucker around family(this side) again. I'm actually going to be taking some space from these family members as well. It's just better to keep him away from anyone with a negative opinion or attitude. They also aren't invited to my home again. Very sad but I'm going to do what's best for us.
