Do you find yourself constantly thinking about Bulldogs, or maybe even spoiling your furry friend more than yourself? If so, you might be a Bulldog-obsessed pawrent!
In this post, we’re counting down the top seven signs that you are head over heels for your Bulldog. From personalized Bulldog merchandise to endless photo sessions, see how many of these signs you can check off your list!
1. Your Phone’s Camera Roll is a Bulldog Shrine
Gone are the days when your phone’s photo gallery was filled with selfies, sunsets, and pictures of your brunch. Now, it’s an endless stream of bulldog snapshots.
Sleeping bulldogs, playing bulldogs, bulldogs making silly faces – you’ve got them all. You can’t help but capture every adorable moment, from their first yawn in the morning to their last snore at night.
You find yourself constantly scrolling through these photos, showing them off to anyone who’ll look (and even those who won’t). Your social media feeds have become a dedicated bulldog fan page, and you’ve mastered the art of the perfect bulldog portrait.
You know all the best angles to highlight those adorable wrinkles and capture that signature bulldog underbite.
Friends and family members have started to joke that they can’t remember what you look like because all they see are pictures of your dog. But you don’t care – in your eyes, your bulldog is far more photogenic anyway.
2. Your Vocabulary Has Gone to the Dogs
Listen closely to your everyday conversations, and you might notice a distinct change in your vocabulary. Suddenly, words like “wrinkles,” “smushy,” and “snorty” have become a regular part of your lexicon.
You find yourself using “bully” as a term of endearment, and phrases like “flat-faced angel” and “wrinkle monster” roll off your tongue with alarming frequency.
Your friends are starting to give you strange looks when you casually drop terms like “reverse sneezing” or “cherry eye” into conversation. You can’t help it – these are now important parts of your life!
You’ve also developed an impressive array of bulldog-specific noises to communicate with your fur baby, from exaggerated snorts to comical wheezes.
Perhaps most tellingly, you’ve started to refer to yourself as “Mom” or “Dad” when talking to or about your bulldog. And let’s not forget the elaborate nicknames you’ve given your pup – “Sir Squishy Face,” “Lady Wrinkleton,” or “The Honorable Judge Drools-a-Lot” are just the tip of the iceberg.
3. Your Home Decor Has Gone Bulldog Bonkers
Take a look around your living space. Notice anything… bulldog-centric? If you’re a truly obsessed bulldog pawrent, your home has likely undergone a gradual transformation into a shrine to all things bulldog.
It starts innocently enough – maybe a cute bulldog pillow here, a framed photo there. But before you know it, your walls are adorned with bulldog art, your coffee table is stacked with bulldog-themed books, and you’re sipping your morning coffee from a mug with your dog’s face on it.
Your bathroom towels? Embroidered with little bulldogs. Your kitchen apron? Covered in bulldog prints. You’ve even got bulldog-shaped cookie cutters and an ice cube tray that makes little frozen bulldog heads.
And let’s not forget the life-size bulldog statue guarding your front door – because nothing says “welcome” like a squishy-faced sentinel.
Your obsession doesn’t stop at decor, either. You’ve baby-proofed your entire home to protect your precious pup from potential hazards. Low-lying furniture has been removed to prevent accidental bonks, and you’ve installed ramps everywhere to help your short-legged friend navigate with ease.
4. You’ve Become a Wrinkle Management Expert
Ah, those adorable wrinkles – the hallmark of the bulldog breed. But as any devoted bulldog pawrent knows, those cute folds require some serious maintenance. You’ve become a veritable expert in wrinkle care, armed with an arsenal of wipes, creams, and powders.
Your bathroom cabinet looks more like a bulldog spa than a human grooming station. You’ve got special shampoos for sensitive skin, ear cleaners to prevent infections, and more types of moisturizer than you ever thought possible.
You can spot the early signs of a wrinkle infection from a mile away, and you’ve got your veterinarian on speed dial – just in case.
You’ve developed a daily wrinkle-cleaning routine that would put most skincare influencers to shame. You know exactly how to clean each fold, dry it properly, and apply the right amount of protective powder.
Your friends might think you’re crazy for spending so much time on dog skincare, but you know it’s all worth it to keep those wrinkles healthy and adorable.
5. Your Bulldog’s Wardrobe Rivals Your Own
When you first got your bulldog, you swore you’d never be one of those people who dress up their dogs. Fast forward to now, and your pup has a wardrobe that would make any fashionista jealous. From practical rain jackets to whimsical costumes, your bulldog has an outfit for every occasion.
You’ve got drawer after drawer filled with doggy clothes: sweaters for chilly days, life jackets for pool parties, bowties for formal events, and even a tuxedo for those extra special occasions.
You’ve invested in specially designed bulldog clothes that accommodate their unique body shape, because off-the-rack just won’t do for your discerning diva.
Holiday seasons send you into a shopping frenzy as you search for the perfect themed outfits. Christmas? Your bully has a Santa suit, an elf costume, and reindeer antlers. Halloween? You’ve got a different costume for every day of October.
You’ve even coordinated your own outfits with your dog’s for the ultimate pawrent-pup fashion statement.
But it’s not just about fashion – you’re also obsessed with finding the perfect collar, harness, and leash combination. You’ve got sets in every color, pattern, and material imaginable. Walking your dog has become a fashion show, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
6. Your Social Life Has Gone to the Dogs (Literally)
Remember when your weekends were filled with brunches, movie nights, and social gatherings? Now, your social calendar revolves entirely around your bulldog. Dog park meetups, bulldog playdates, and pet-friendly events dominate your free time.
You’ve joined every bulldog meetup group in a 50-mile radius, and you’re an active member of multiple online bulldog communities. Your closest friends are now fellow bulldog owners you’ve met through these groups.
You bond over wrinkle care tips, exchange recommendations for bulldog-friendly cafes, and share adorable (and sometimes gross) bulldog stories.
When you do socialize with your non-dog-owning friends, you find ways to incorporate your bulldog into the plans. Movie night at your place? You’ve got a dog-friendly setup with a cozy bed right next to the couch. Dinner party? You’re hosting, and there’s a special menu just for the four-legged guests.
You’ve even started planning your vacations around your bulldog. Pet-friendly hotels are a must, and you research dog-friendly attractions at every destination. The idea of leaving your precious pup behind is unthinkable – after all, what’s a family vacation without the whole family?
7. You’ve Become a Bulldog Health Guru
As a devoted bulldog pawrent, you’re acutely aware of the health issues that can affect your squishy-faced friend. You’ve become a walking encyclopedia of bulldog-specific health knowledge, able to discuss brachycephalic airway syndrome, hip dysplasia, and skin fold dermatitis with the ease of a veterinary professional.
Your bookshelf is stocked with tomes on bulldog health and care, and your browser history is full of bulldog health forums and veterinary websites.
You’ve bookmarked more articles on bulldog nutrition than you care to admit, and you can rattle off the pros and cons of various dog food brands like a seasoned nutritionist.
You’ve invested in every health gadget imaginable for your pup. From elevated food bowls to prevent bloat to special orthopedic beds for joint health, no expense is spared when it comes to your bulldog’s wellbeing. You’ve even learned how to check your dog’s vital signs and perform basic first aid – just in case.
Your vigilance extends to every aspect of your bulldog’s life. You monitor their exercise to prevent overheating, you’re always on the lookout for signs of respiratory distress, and you’ve memorized the optimal temperature range for bulldog comfort. Some might call it paranoia, but you prefer to think of it as being prepared.
You’re Officially Bulldog Obsessed (And Proud of It!)
If you’ve found yourself nodding along to most (or all) of these signs, congratulations! You’re officially a bulldog-obsessed pawrent. But you know what? There’s no shame in your bulldog game. Your obsession comes from a place of love, dedication, and a deep appreciation for these charming, wrinkly bundles of joy.
So go ahead, post that 100th bulldog photo on Instagram. Proudly wear your matching bulldog-print pajamas. Embrace your role as a wrinkle-cleaning, snort-translating, bulldog-loving pawrent extraordinaire. After all, in the wise words of a true bulldog enthusiast: “Life is better with a bulldog.”
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go clean my bulldog’s wrinkles and plan our next matching outfit. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it!
