My French Connection

I shall make this short and sweet. My dog is simply ADORABLE. Read on....


I sat in a precarious position on the edge of the sofa, trying in vain to ward my dog off from scratching my legs anymore than he already had. The red marks on my legs (long enough for a 172cm tall girl), seemed eminently fascinating. In my opinion, they made cute red designs against the cream of the skin.

Sure you are wondering whether the bone of contention here is my dog or the trademarks of that very same animal. By the way, he is called, Bonzo.
So, I shall do the honour of elucidating the subject matter here, which definitely is Bonzo. Did you have to guess?
Now that we are clear on that piece, let me delineate the salient features of this LITTLE creature.

First glance and I will not be surprised if you ask me, “Was he dropped on his nose when a pup?” While most dogs have a muzzle, mine sports ‘hardly a muzzle’. Here, let me highlight his breed which is a French bulldog. Do bear with the fact that he half looks like a pig (No, he doesn’t grunt!). You pass the door or ring the doorbell, each sound will have him running towards the front door (slipping all over the tiles), barking his loudest. It is his way of making his presence felt while otherwise I would have simply termed him taciturn. But, I would not really ask you to believe that because an occasional whine does come when he wants food or as we humans say, would like to relieve himself.

Flamboyant ears connected to an equally flamboyant head which is turn is joined to his ‘slightly extra fat’ body. I may not know about you, but without doubts, this “innocent looking” four legged animal is as adorable as they come.

Most people would agree with me that dogs have three MAJOR pastimes. And these are sleeping, eating and staring at those eating in an extremely guileless way. Bonzo has a third one attached to his, which I can define in just two words – sock fetching. Remember the girl who got scratched in the beginning of this masterpiece. Well, it all actually begins with those two very words. Cheers!
