Welcome
to The |

In the beginning... |
|
||
|
So
there I was, stuck between a womb and a hard place.
One of four puppies to be born to
Jack and Ethel. I have to be honest with you - it was one of the
toughest journeys anyone would care to make but I was up to the
challenge. As you might suspect, cramming four pups into such
tight quarters, all for around 65 days, isn't easy. Yet, that ain't
the half of it. You see - people that are not familiar with the
bull terrier would just leave the birth to nature (a la the mother);
but to do this is almost certain death for the young Bull Terrier
trying to make their way into the world. As some of you area
aware, the delivery of modern day Bull Terriers is done via a
C-section. The main reason for this is the fact that our heads
are rather large
and they do not fit in the birthing canal. |

Do you know what it is like to be pulled - I mean really pulled hard - by your head? I didn't think so! Anyway,
to make a long story short - on May
7, 2002 I
was born via
c-section. Some say it was a sign. I say it was destiny! |

| It Was Destiny... |
|
|
|
Throughout
the ages, many an individual has used destiny as an excuse for
everyday occurrences;
but to be 100% honest with you... It
really was Destiny that brought my Family to me. Not my canine family,
rather the family that I will be spending the rest of my long life
with. I remember it as if it were yesterday. One minute I
am in a playpen with my brothers having the time of our lives, and the
next minute I am being crammed, once again, into a tight dark place
with my brothers. Then there was this intense
swinging motion that rocked us all back
and forth
from wall
to wall.
I though that this would never end but to my surprise it did - BANG. |
||
|
|
Was
that loud BANG
some kind of monster?
Was the world coming to a crashing
halt? Was I to be banished
from Earth before I was able to live?
Was that blood
dripping down my leg? Waite a minute... That's way
too thin to be blood. And... And that smell...
Oh
my G-d...
|
|
|
Nooooo |
|
They just peed
on my leg!
|
|
Wooh.
Sorry about that. I got caught up in the memory and lost it one again.
Okay, where was I...
Loud
Bang... End
of the world... and... Oh
yeah - nothing happened! We were alright! Moving fast -
but alright. The next stop DESTINY.
The destination - Grandma Julie's (my dad Jack's Mom) house. Here I
meet, for the very first time, the loves of my life - Dad and Mom (oh
yeah, and Grandpa Don Was there as well).

If
you recall, I mentioned that I was one of
four. As you view this you will see only three Bull Terriers. So,
what happened to the fourth?
I am sad to say that one of my brothers
passed away a few days after we landed here on Earth. He was brought
to the Medicine man... who did a few things to try and fix him up...
but... He
did not make it. |
|
|
It's
Not Everyday, that
you meet some new creatures and just feel as if you click. This is
why I refer to this first encounter as destiny. All of this was
meant to happen.
I will never forget that day for as long as I live NEVER !
