My Typical Day with a
Six-Month-Old Bull Terrier
By Lisa Slate
7:00am--Alarm clock goes off. Sunny barks. He knows already this alarm means breakfast time!
7:05--Take Sunny out to potty, mix up his healthy breakfast, and put up the baby gate.
7:15--Shower
7:30--Try to keep Sunny from eating the house while I get ready for work at the same time.
8:00--Get all of Sunny's toys and lunch together. Find Sunny.
8:05--Drag crate to car with Sunny in tow.
8:15--Sunny lets me know he doesn't want to go to work with me today by doing flips in his crate and barking at me.
8:35--Sunny finally falls fast asleep in the car.
8:45--Arrive at work. Wake Sunny up and go through the same routine of getting all his stuff together.
9:00--Finally inside the office. Sunny is almost asleep in his crate, and I can get to work.
10:30--Sunny wakes up. I think to myself I will just be really quiet and he will go back to sleep.
10:45--Realize he is not going back to sleep. Time for a walk.
10:50--Outside..its cold. Sunny decides its time to go see Spike his MinPin friend. They roll around for a while and people slow down and watch them. Occasionally getting out to meet Sunny.
11:15--Sunny is back asleep.
1:00pm--Sunny awakens, and it is lunch time. Lunch, a quick potty break, and it's back to the crate. I gotta get some work done!
3:00--One last walk before the end of my work day! Sunny is very bored and also very energetic at this point of the day! He doesn't want to go back in the crate.
3:20--Sunny is in the crate, and he is barking.
4:30--Time to go home. Sunny just fell asleep, and now I am waking him up again. Gotta get all his stuff together again and get him to the car. He doesnt want to leave now; he wants to go see Spike again.
4:40--Finally in the car! It's time to go home. During this car ride Sunny sits and stares at me the whole way home.
5:00--Quick stop at either the grandparents house, pet store, or anywhere to wear Sunny out a little before I take him home.
6:00--Finally home. Time for Sunny's dinner. He acts like he hasn't eaten in days.
6:30--Sunny is racing through the house at top speed. Anything in his path is toppled. Baby gates go flying.
7:30--Sunny has to take a nap again. I have to get some chores done.
8:00--Sunny never falls asleep. He comes and sits quietly in the den.
9:00--DADDY is home! Sunny hears the car and goes crazy! They then play with all of his toys. Sunny doesn't like to play with me as much as with dad.10:30-- It is finally Sunny's bedtime! He usually goes right to sleep.
10:35--I finally get to sit down on the couch. I am able to spend about 45 min with my husband before I fall fast asleep! Sunny has worn me out!7:00am--Alarm goes off. Sunny is waiting and a new day begins.
Sunny is my life now! I never knew that raising a Bully would be the same as raising a child. I know you dont believe me and this is probably something only other Bully owners can relate to.
