Because there just really wasn’t enough poop in my life, I agreed to dog-sit two adorable puppies for a friend who is between houses at the moment.
Having never spent time around American Bulldogs before, I didn’t really know what to expect. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find that both of them, although they are 6 months apart, are sweet, affectionate, fast learners.
You caught a glimpse of little Samantha, but that doesn’t really do her justice.
And, you haven’t yet met Meatball, so let me introduce you.
Did I mention that he’s an enormous puppy? So ginormous is he, that I’m not sure the term “puppy” really applies. He’s nearly as tall as Cage, our 8 year old chubby Labrador, and, while I haven’t measured his chest or head, I believe he’s at least twice as wide.
Meatball eats a lot. Which makes him the poopin’est dog in the universe. If Meatball lived on Old MacDonald’s Farm, the song would go “Here a poop, there a poop, everywhere a poop, poop.”
And the drool is interesting, as well. I tend to walk around with smears of dried spit across my lap and behind my knees. Sometimes there’s food caked to it, too, because, did I mention he eats a lot?
Really, they have been a joy to have around. So gentle with the kids and a ton of fun. I’m not sure how long they’ll be staying, but we’re soaking them up while they’re here. 
Even Cage! Shocking, I know.

Oh that’s so adorable. I love other people’s dogs. I love my dog too, but she is a huge pain a lot of the time. 🙂 Enjoy it while it lasts! 🙂
Those are some cute puppies. I don’t have any experience with those kinds of dogs either. Not sure I could handle the slobber factor.
I love me some puppies and those three are cute. You definately need to delegate a “pooper scooper” in the interim or in my house I like to call them Tim & Haley.
Fighting dogs used to scare me. But the other day I met the sweetest dog in the world – a pitbull cross. Your bulldog fosters look gentle and fun too. Although I am not sure about the drool…
No dogs are cuter than the American Bulldog. I wanted to jump through the page and take them from you.
