Hi Mom, Ezra is gone for now, whew!

This is just a short post to share my sweet Bubby boy King. He gets left out too often now because of the puppy boy Ezra. So, I’m sharing him today.

He’s now 8 1/2 years old. We’ve had him since he was 13 months old. His best friend in the world is my husband Donnie. King is an American Bully by breed, however, anything but a bully as in the human kind. He’s the kindest, funniest, most handsome and smart boy. This boy is the self-designated therapy dog I never knew I needed. He’s also such a huggable boy now – he wasn’t always though. Age and trust has mellowed him.

As you’ll see in the video, he’s ever so patient with Ezra even while making lots of noise to sound ferocious lol.

While in one pic Ezra appears much bigger, he was simply sitting in front of King to make it look so. Ezra is definitely taller but King is stronger and stockier. He isn’t as muscular as he once was due to injuring his CCL which while he’s never fully recovered from (but you’d not know that to see him move), he still gets daily exercise and LOTS of wrestling with Ezra.

Truth be told, the only reason we got a puppy was for King, but another Bully probably would’ve been a better choice as a companion for him. Ezra would do better with another Carolina Dog…but these two make it work. Ezra adores King – it’s hard not to, he’s so lovable.

Ezra is NOT bigger than me says King

I have several nicknames for King but my personal fave is Doodle Bug or Bubby. Donnie calls him Buddy Dude. King answers to all his nicknames and his given name. He’s a special boy for sure. Both dogs are naturally reared, raw fed dogs – as they all ought to be!💖💖

Ezra and King
See I told you humans Ezra isn’t bigger than me, just taller, woof!

That’s all, so until next time…

Have a PAWSitively, tail waggin’, NATUROPATHICALLY healthy day!
