Every Friday evening, I post anywhere from one to a zillion of my favorite Buddha pics from the week. After all, what’s better than a fat, lazy, gassy, wrinkly, high-spirited-low-energy English Bulldog doing whatever it is he feels like doing?

Today’s pics are called “Buddha: Rockin’ his Rock.”

Every day Buddha gets to go for a walk, which I never complain about because the views up where we live are incredible and the air is so damn fresh. Buddha never lets us forget his walk, either. He knows when it’s time. He’ll just park in front of the front door and stare at it until somebody recognizes him.

At the end of our cul-de-sac is a trailhead that goes to all sorts of trails in the mountains here. In that area, there is a big rock. I don’t know when or why Buddha decided it was his rock, but he loves to climb up on it, and just… sit. He’ll occasionally look around. He’ll yawn repeatedly. And only when Buddha is done sitting on his rock will he get off. It’s rather comical.

Good ol’ Buddha.

And that… is Buddha, rockin’ his rock. Doing what Buddha does.

PS. Buddha would love to hear your comments. I think he’s enjoying the attention on this here blog.

Yay, Buddha on a rock!  There's gotta be something deep about that.

So he gets to be King of the World for a few minutes every day. He looks like such a good doggie, I think he deserves it (just don't tell my cat Highway, that I said that!) *s*

Great way to keep that rock from floating away! Buddha seems quite happy on his perch. Perhaps it expands his horizons.

Cool post.

Peace <3

I dont know if you would end up making more money or less money but you should try to get some of your blogs on The Stir on Cafemom. Its a bunch of different blogs all by women i think but seriously, your writing is 100% better than most of the moms on there and dammit your a single dad, dont you count too?

All I can say is that for some reason, I'm laughing so hard I have tears running down my face... I have a fat, lazy Tomcat that would make a nice matching book end. If you were interested.

He is so adorable. I love fat lazy dogs. Probably the only kind i would get. Im pretty sure my cat would be a bulldog like yours if he was a dog. We got him when he had been abandoned at 5 weeks old and had to bottle feed him for a couple weeks. He was so tiny that even tho we named him Samson, we always called him little guy. Well soon after his first birthday we realized he was not going to be little. He is now 23lbs and is bigger than most small dog breeds. We think he may be part rag doll. Anyways, he is the man of the house and is constantly just laying, sprawled out wherever he pleases, his favorite spot being the coffee table. Wouldnt be so bad if he wasnt so damn huge and super long hair to boot. But he has that attitude of not giving a crap what anyone thinks, and that we are here to serve him lol

We have a puggle named Daisy and she never forgets her walk, either - even when it's -40 (which is the same in Celsius or Fahrenheit, FYI) up here in frigid Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The thing is, she refuses to wear those little doggie shoes so when it's cold she can only walk so far. If we're not careful and don't watch closely to see if she's getting cold, she'll just all of a sudden stop, sit down and whimper, refusing to do anything until someone picks her up and carries her home. Even after a break of being carried for a block or two, if we put her back down she'll just sit and whimper until someone picks her back up. Pitiful thing LOL

@amyafrank66 LOL, lived in Edmonton Alberta for short time and my dog hated her winter boots. She would run outside do her job and run back in. I would tell the laughing neighbors, The poor thing is from Vancouver cuter her some slack.
