I love it when Jen gets all riled up. I agree with you hence the cautionary caveat: "The caveat to that, though, is this: Tatting up your pet should not be a vanity project or worse, engineered attention seeking masquerading as â??the best interestâ?� of the dog." And you're right. Cleatus will have to be shaved for the rest of his life if his people continue to want to brandish his "artwork." It's too late for my pal Cleatus and his people know our feeling on this. They are young people who made a mistake. Happily, Cleatus is the only dog they have. And if they ever do get another dog, I hope they've taken a lesson from this experience. I hope my blog on this subject will educate people to make responsible choices for their pets and for their own peace of minds. Ciao! That

Hey Jen! It's Susie again. Thanks for posting the pictures of UMA's birth. I'm glad your knees held out:-) My husband Tim and I are going to visit Batman, Joker, Robin, Gordan, Alfred, Francis, Uma, Bailey, Maisy, Otto, Apple, Henry and of course Mary on Wednesday. Man that is going to be one full house! We are hoping to take a bully puppy home in April :-) I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

Hi Jen. I was checking out your Bully Beat and loved your comments about Turbo's sleepover. I'm so happy he found his forever home! My husband Tim and I will keep our eyes and ears open about Lola and Spike. I hope their bully angels look out for them and thanks for keeping people updated.

Love your bullies!! Kula is my only bully, but he has 3 non-bully siblings...Wish he had other bullies to play with around here!!

Hi Jen. I was just checking out your "Bully Beat" again and laughing my head off. Your stories about Howie are priceless! He sounds like a really special little dude. Take care and I hope you feel better soon!
