A Dogs Life
I am dedicating this post to my dog-son Mr. Baggins of Noble Look, who has been my friend and companion for the last seven years. It has not been an easy relationship as bulldogs are a notoriously stubborn breed . He thinks he is leader of the pack and that the rest of the household are his slaves as well as there for his sole amusement and entertainment.
Some of these quotes illustrate the relationship between Baggins and me
