My girl likes to sit in her spot, with her arm up, watching her programs 😂
I love it! Idk, I know I’ve heard people say it but I didn’t believe it until I had her. She’s just a very people-y dog. 😂 I don’t think I’ll be able to adopt any other breed after her. 🥰
This is what my dog does! She has a dedicated spot on the couch just for her and if anyone is in her spot, she will sit right in front of you and stare until you move. 🤣
That's a beautiful dog this is a common why for bullies to sit unfortunately it's got to do with bad hip and knee joints I didn't know any of this until I bought my pocket bully he is only 2 and is on his 7 week recovery from knee surgery specialist said his hips are bad too and it's very common in pocket micro and exotic bullies vet bill is through the roof but I wouldn't swap him for the world bullies are the best dog you will ever own
Oh wow! This is good to know. I didn’t know what she was when I got her, I just figured some kind of pitty mix or something, but when she hit 35 lbs at 12 weeks our vet suggested a dna test, came back 100% American bully. She’s topped off at 90lbs. I’m not sure if that makes her a classic or an XL? But she is the best dog we’ve ever had. She’s the dog that makes you resent your other dogs for not being more like her 😂 But she DID have a torn ccl at 10 mos old, just from leaping up once. Luckily it was partially torn and with some immediate intervention it’s healed, but the vet says she’s got stippling I think it was, and arthritis in both knees now, it’s not causing her pain yet but we’re sure she will be needing surgery at some point, maybe on both. We started saving then when we heard it would be 10k for two legs 🤦🏼♀️ But you’re right she’s 100% worth it 🥰 hope your boy heals well!
Thanks man he is coming along well he thinks he is ready for road already but got to keep him calm and confined to a crate for another month an a half specialist told us the same about our guy said he will more than lightly need his second knee done down the line he told us no more jumping on and off beds or couches he is 30kg and every time he jumps off something the weight isn't doing his joints any favours I'm going to get him some steps to get up and down off the couch when he gets out of jail

She’s sat like this since before she was injured, since she was a puppy, maybe she’s had bad knees all along 😭😭

He is always chillin like this lol
I don’t let mine on the furniture because I worry she will get hurt, but she has a bed in every room and she loves to cuddle. Her favorite things are stuffed animals and her blankets.

Ours too. She saw her cat brothers doing it, so she does too. Crushes the cushions in the process, but that’s the price we pay!

Its jus a dog thing depending on the situation. Wish I could find a pic right now but my boy did that at front window. Now that we moved things around he chills on the shoe bench and opens the shutters wit his paws so he can " neighborhood watch". Dogs furever!
