Playing in the woods!

WELL! I had a VERY eventful weekend. Mom drove me up to see my other fur brother who I've never met before. Mom called him a Horse. But he looks to me like a deformed dog on steroids.
The car ride was GREAT! An hour with just me and mom and farting! I dont know what it is about the car, but it just gives me the WORST gas ever! haha!
When we got to where we were going, mom let me out of the car to run OFF the leash! There was soooo much stuff to sniff and other doggies for me to meet! But like the good doggie I am I stayed right with my momma. That is until I saw a COW! I wasnt sure what I was supposed to do with it, but I play stanced at it, and the one that mom called the bull didnt want to play. So i puffed up as big as i could and growled at him, and well, mom wasnt happy about that at all!! APARENTLY I am NOT supposed to be mean to the this bull animal, but, I sure was brave ( Barking from between the legs of my momma).
After I met the bull thing, I got to meet my fur brother the Horse. I was kind of jealous that he was getting all this attention from my momma. But I showed that I like him by licking (tasting) his leg, where I then promptly barked and growled at him too! I got in more trouble for barking at him than at the bull, I guess I HAVE to get along with him.
The best part was I got to eat ALL the other dog's food, and then roll around in allll the grass that I'm allergic to! So far mom has shoved about 3 MILLION little pink pills down my throat... but they at least make me stop itching so much!
BUT! After our little mini vacation, it SURE was nice to get home and sleep in my own bed. Mom was SO nice to buy me these new covers and sheets too! I just wish she'd find somewhere else to sleep! There just isnt enough room for BOTH of us. Gosh.

To say hey!

Figured for my first blog/diary entry I would just introduce myself!
( Now that I have written the whole blog, I have to say, It's kind of fun writing from Patrón's point of view!)

My name is Patrón.
I am almost 11 months old, and already weigh 80 pounds. Mom keeps saying she hopes I dont get much bigger or we'll need a bigger bed, but I just think she should sleep on the floor if theres no room for her. I seem to fit just fine!
I'm an American Bulldog, but if you ask someone in Alabama (where I was born) I'm an Ol' Southern White Alabama Bulldog.
My momma, Brittany, got me as a Christmas present, and I was of course the best present EVER.... no matter how much mom jokes that she'd like to regift me. I think she's joking...
I LOVE going to the doggie park to play fetch (which I dont "fetch" , more like "Ok I have the ball now come and chase me") and to play with all the other doggies. Our doggie park is small, so all the other dogs that go there are all my friends. I DID get bit once at a bigger park farther away from home. Mom had to take me to the doctor and he gave me some good stuff, and then when I woke up, I had STITCHES! But its ok, because mom was able to take them out 14 days later. Unfortunately, mom is afraid of that park now, and wont take me back there. She says people should look after their dogs better!
SO! I dont have much else to say... I am big goofball basically, an 80 pound lap dog, and I tend to be a bit overprotective... BUT, I am getting better, once I feel ok with mom being the boss once in a while
