Well, I stink at updating this. I pictured it almost like a baby book when I started it with tons of updates, pictures, and all the bells and whistles. But we've been busy!
Since I last blogged, we've been on hiatus from the show world for many reasons, mainly Hudson's skin problems. Just my luck, Hudson has an immune deficiency of his skin, and is unable to fight off the normal bacteria carried in his fur and on everyone's hands. We've had several bouts of yucky skin, but this one has been the worst. Finally, with steroids, and antibiotics, and antifungals (oh my!) we're making some progress.
I plan to rejoin the world of dog shows on the 22nd with an all breeds show to practice up for Hudson's entry in the BCA (Bulldog Club of America) Nationals in November. It'll be right near DC (ka'ching on the hotel) and it's a 2 day for us. Sweeps on Monday, Open on Tuesday. I got a brand new leather show lead a couple weeks ago that I absolutely love. I have potential entries I want to make through May of 2012. I'm going to be busy show woman shortly.
Hudson has also learned to be a foster brother to 2 bullies that have come to join us. Balou is a year old, only 2 months younger than Hudson, and a wild man. Hudson taught him some rules and which trees in our yard are good to poop on. This week Elvis came to join us, a 7-year-old who is spunky...for five minutes then goes and lays down in his crate. He can really shake his hips, just like his namesake. He keeps us laughing. He makes the best "MAKE ME" face ever! Typical bulldog.
We've had our hands full between rescue, Hudson's health, and regular life, but off I am to earn Hudson's 15 championship points, the ultimate goal. Then coming shortly after...a baby "sister" for Hudson. But she shouldn't be called his sister...because they're going to make baby bullies and that's just weird! So it'll be his lady.
I am having a bully-ful life and so is Hudson! We love it!
