Spring makes everything super shiny

It's funny how even dogs enjoy the change of seasons. My furry beasts love the cold and snow, but the freshness of Spring definitely makes them almost as happy as it makes me. They're loving the brand new bunnies to chase, sun to lay in, grass to roll in, and all the new smells.

I'm loving everything BUT flea & tick season, dropping a chunk of cash at the vet for heartworm tests, Heartgard, Frontline, and yearly exams.

Beautiful Bulldog Contest

The Woof Factory gang (minus dogs) went downtown on Monday to watch a new Drake Bulldog be crowned in the 2008 Beautiful Bulldog contest. Over 50 Bulldogs competed for the honor. Oh my dog they were adorable... by the end I was in bulldog love! Some highlights...

This guy looks big but he is only a tiny puppy. So pink and velvety! He's planning to compete in 2009. Look out bulldogs!!

"Um, hey, I don't think this one's a Bulldog! Pug imposter!"

Sharing some slurpy bulldog love with a lady he just met.

There are lots of ways to keep your Bulldog cool in Iowa. Lots of umbrellas and doggie drinks ... but a John Deere hat is definitely the #1 choice.

This guy is the definition of cool. SOOOOOO cool!

Buddy, crowned King of the Bulldogs! Honestly, I don't know how the judges managed to pick just one. They were all wonderful!
