For those of you who may be English Bull Terrier fans, Rufus, the king of all bullies, died today

He won Westminister in 2006, he was family of friends who helped rescue many English Bullies and whom I adopted my beloved Corey from. Rocky Top's Sundance Kid, the winingest Bullie in history. His family are Liberals and lovers of dogs. The angel known as Rufus has gone. Long live the king.





rest in peace our king, rest in peace.

the great majority are gentile clowns who can't see past their snout and often bite without proper training because they can't see the treat or food being held in fornt of them.

My Corey lived to be nearly 14. I was lucky. She was adopted from a man terminally ill who could no longer take care of her.


She was my three year old in a clown suit.

I still think of my rescue boy "Bodger" even tho it has been 20 years ago, he never had a chance. The asshole who owned him never understood how to train or love him and he beat him with a 2 x 4 and burned him with a hair dyer. I tried everything but he atttacked people and other pets and the vet said we were taking a chance he might do real damage to someone, so we had to put him down. Rest in peace dear Bodger.

There was something about him that I've never seen in another bully. He was a champion, and I was honored to know his family and handler.
