Mother’s Day just happened… This French Bulldog had a better one than most of us.

Ever had one of those days you wish you could just lay around with your hobbies… this Frenchie is having a better day than you are.
If you’ve ever wanted to relax by the pool instead of…well, anything… This French Bulldog more than likely has better days than you or I on a regular basis.
This pup gets to hand out naps…at a very reasonable price. His day trumps ours.
If you wish there was more time in the day to fit in some yoga… ask this Frenchie how its day is going…
How many of your days have been ruined by passing gas? What if you could smell up a room, smile & everyone would still love you? I bet it’d make your day better…
If you constantly get griped at for sitting on the counter tops, this Frenchie probably has better days than you, most days.

This French Bulldog is a unicorn, which automatically makes his day better than everybody’s.
Zero explanation needed. Friends, Games… no one cares that she’s feeding all the while…I didn’t have this much fun today, did you?

Try and tell me you are having a better day than this dog… I will not believe you.

We’ve all seen the cliché posts regarding why you shouldn’t parent a Pit Bull…
And we’ve all seen posts about why you SHOULD parent a Pit Bull…
And although we definitely prefer the latter – the fact is that it’s always humans thinking the dog deserves them.
While we are lifting these pups up onto a pedestal – let’s spin this in a different direction.
How To Know If YOU Deserve a Pit Bull:
If you want to invest in another family member, you deserve a pit bull.

If you want to take the time to show a cute face around town and socialize the pup, you deserve a pit bull.

If you can appreciate how smart pit bulls are, you deserve a pit bull.
If you can play their games, you deserve a pit bull.

If you aren’t scared of a blanket judgment and are willing to educate yourself, you deserve a Pit Bull.
If you have other pets, or children who are looking for a friend…they deserve a Pit Bull.

Bullymake and Handsome Dan’s Rescue Team Up!
We are excited to announce that during May and June, Bullymake and Handsome Dan’s Rescue are teaming up!
Handsome Dan is one of 22 dogs who was rescued from the estate of NFL quarterback, Michael Vick.
Handsome Dan’s opportunity at a second life is amazing, and it’s incredible organizations like these that provide so much for animals in need.
Here is his story (via the Handsome Dan site):
“Handsome Dan is one of the 22 dogs who came to Best Friends Animal Society from the estate of NFL quarterback, Michael Vick after he was arrested and charged with, “conspiracy to engage in dog fighting in violation of the animal welfare act.”
For the first time in history, these dogs were allowed to be evaluated as individuals! They were the victims of cruelty, and deserved to be treated as such! While Dan was extremely fearful of people, he was great with other dogs and not dangerous at all. He would be given a second chance at life.
Handsome Dan was among the bottom third of the group when evaluated by Tim Racer, Founder of Bad Rap and Rebecca Huss, court appointed guardian to the dogs. During the initial evaluations Tim granted him his name, thinking Dan needed a confidence-boost, so Handsome Dan it was.
After some long months in quarantine in Virginia, Nicole Rattay, Founder of Just A Dog rescue, was able to get Dan comfortably outside into the shelter’s exercise area to loosen up. He was still not running and playing as some of the others in the group were, but he would do his famous “fly-bys”, where he would trot just close enough for her to pet his side.
After a year and a half of love and care at Best Friends, Dan was the second dog to be adopted, making his way home to Rhode Island. His learning curve was going to be steep, but both him and his family were up for the challenge.
Dan settled into his new home and instantly became friends with his 14 year old human brother, and two dog siblings, Story, an older Golden Retriever and Ocean, a Cattle dog. He seemed to be experiencing his lost puppyhood and loving every minute. January 1, 2010, Handsome was officially adopted into his family.
In April 2010, Dan helped his family welcome their new daughter to the family. Handsome became fast friends with her and was never far from her side. He even slept next to her crib while she napped. No wonder pitties are known as Nanny Dogs in the UK.
Handsome Dan will likely always be a fearful dog, but has come so far since he was rescued from the Vick compound. The amazing people he has met along the way have shown him that humankind can offer love and care.
While Handsome Dan’s confidence continues to grow, he will likely never be as outgoing at public appearances like other Vicktory Dogs. He generally greets the outside world with extreme caution. Dan is happiest being with his group of friends, family, and familiar settings. Be sure to follow Handsome Dan and his daily adventures on his Facebook page!“
And here’s a pic of Handsome Dan enjoying his Bullymake Box!
By purchasing a Bullymake Box during May, you’ll be directly contributing to an animal in need.

9 Insanely Easy Tricks For a Happy Frenchy
Feature Image Source
Me like happy Frenchy. You like happy Frenchy. Frenchy like happy Frenchy.
Let’s just jump right into it, shall we?
1. Take him/her on a gersh dern walk.
Yeah, I know, sometimes it’s easier to sit there and binge watch “House.” But a French Bulldog does need a walk (sometimes) to keep the pooch mentally stimulated and physically fit!
2. Clean the creases.
If you are a French Bulldog owner, chances are you already know this. But make sure you do it. Somebody once asked me what it smells like, and the best answer I could come up with is “Doggy B.O.”
3. Teach them stuff.
Although being stubborn, Frenchies do like to learn and be taught. Recently I taught my Bulldog to go in the crate. You know how I did it? I sat there and threw Cheetos in the back of the crate and said “crate.” Guess what? Now he LOVES the crate (and a plethora of Cheetos).
4. Let them socialize.
This applies to any dog breed, but dogs really love to socialize with other dogs. It’s hugely beneficial to a dog’s mental health.
5. Give ’em good toys.
French Bulldogs freakin’ LOVE chew toys (and really any toy). However, they can get bored with toys and/or destroy them. Oh, wait, what is that I hear? There is an awesome product for that? Check out our Bullymake Boxes:
Yeah, dogs love this stuff – especially Frenchies.
6. Show some love!
Not like that’s all that difficult. How can you resist that squish face and those bat ears?
7. Introduce new activities.
Sometimes taking them for a walk can get old. Introduce new activities like hide and seek, tug of war, or fetch.
8. Groom.
Although your Bully might be stubborn and fight it, they secretly like being groomed. Clean the ears and coat, clip the nails, clean the eyes – and of course, the creases.
9. Avoid Rawhide like the plague.
Never, ever, ever, give your Frenchy rawhide. It is a huge choking and digestive hazard.

5 Awesome Activities For Your Dog
Like humans, dogs can get bored with their everyday activities. So mix it up a bit – we’ll help you with that.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at these 5 great activities:
- Hide and Seek: Believe it or not, hide and seek is a great way to exercise your dog physically and mentally. You can hide around trees or in your backyard, or anywhere you see fit. Naturally, most pups like to follow and seek their humans. This can get your pooch running around in the backyard and help challenge their mind while they try and find you.
- Fetch: A classic, playing fetch with your dog is a great physical activity. Dogs have a natural instinct to hunt or herd. Fetch can get them up and moving and give them an instinctual task.
- New Toys: Dogs get bored of toys easily. They may “figure it out” or chew a toy to death, and after that they simply get bored. Incorporating fresh new toys is a great way to stimulate your pup mentally. Using a food puzzle toy is also a great way to keep your dog busy. These kind of toys trap treats in them, and your dog must figure out how to get them out.
- Tug-Of-War: A doggy favorite, playing tug of war is an excellent way to get some physical activity in for your pup. If your pet is anything like mine, he/she could play tug-of-war for days. Just try to keep it indoors on hot days to avoid any kind of overheating issues.
- Walk to New Places: Discovering new places is a great experience for your dog and will keep them happy. Dogs are eager to learn, and one way you can help them learn is by allowing them to visit new places! It helps them mature and understand their surroundings. Take your dog out for a walk and let him explore a little bit!
