Just a quick psa before we enter the warmer months: Heat stroke in dogs, is not uncommon - - especially in short faced dogs like bulldogs. Even on cool days they’re at risk. And especially in cars. I can post a longer video (let me know in comments if this would be helpful) about prevention/signs - but for now just remember this: Cool them first. That’s the priority. THEN go to the vet. And if possible, both at same time.

Let's try something different.. Show off your dog, but Madlib-style using GIFS: My dog's name is [Enter name], she/he is a [GIF 1 eg breed/personality/type] and he/she loves [GIF2]. So you can copy and paste the above sentence, and then enter your 2 GIFs in the right order. Let's see who can show their dog via interpretive GIF. This might be complicated but it's worth a try 😆 I'll start...

I think this is an underestimated thing. Dog size can influence so much in our lives: Food costs Where you can go (restaurants, holidays, public transport) What you can do together (hiking, running, work) Vet bills (DEFinitely) Size of your poop bags (and what goes in it) Even size of your car 🚗 And drop their BREED in the comments! 👀
