Lola doeant like Simon, but I think she doesnt like anyone. Ralph is coming around to Simon.

I think Sid was giving me some pointers there. The first pic of Si cracked me up. Love it.

Wow, some great shots TN.

We had a beach meet up with the gang. Simons first ever beach trip. He was pretty good though had his moments. Sid was so amazing, you would not think this little guy was 4 months old. So neutralised. Lola still not impressed with Simon. Si loves Lola though. Sid getting his feet wet. The cool kids This photo pretty much sums up Simon. For Raz.... nothing like a BB butt! Si getting a bit out of his depth... you can almost hear him thinking "forget the kid someone get me out of here!" Caught the morning sunrise - though Simon looks like he is a pro at this he was actually in the garden eating the flowers. Hope Huga doesnt mind but a fav shot, Sid is such a family guy and already so attached to katie, its gorgeous. Hopefully Huga will update this with her shoots too.

Next year you will be the next award winning star. Both Alicia and myself know you have the skillz. Your work is fab and you have such a great eye. I adore your work, its not forced but so natural. The judging this year in QLD was the hardest I have seen it. I am so lucky I scraped through! Alicia and Alex were both judges this year (they don’t judge my work, as obviously, there would of been golds all round ). But hopefully they do live streaming at Nationals as Alicia is a fun judge to watch, she has a great eye and fights for images. It’s awesome to be at.

To answer your question.... Simon had a great time too, I heard him snoring through 2 wall lastnight he was so zonked.

Love Huga. Simon loved his visit today with Sid. Lola was a bit mortified by Simon and his chubby cankles though.

Ralph in the running of the bulls. Ralph is putting up with alot and he is actually the one enticing play most of the time, just Simon doesn't play to Ralph's rules just yet!

More Simon antic's to share. I swear he is the biggest brainless idiot, I have not laughed so hard in my life at this big goose. Ralph doesnt even have to move and can outsmart him! the lets play the chase Fail!

I think he looks jealous and pissed off! Great shot. Huga suggested it looked like Ralph was about to but in the shoulder and push Simon down the stairs.

For those asking for a Ralph and Simon pic together. Ralph was a little put out of place to start but coming around to having Simon around.

Thanks for the coffee splurk See, Simon is not so bad now. I didnt think to bring the car ramp totally having no idea how big a 6 month BB is. Huga and myself had great fun lifting Simon in and out. Needless to say the ramp was the first thing back in the car. He is totally adorable and I wish this puppy stage would last forever. He had his first day in the office yesterday and impressed everyone with his calm nature. He had a play with a GRxPoodle who he managed to tackle to the ground then starfish on his head to hold him down. He might not have speed but he has tricks.

No, he is a pet. The small bum is Simons and the other is how big his is going to get.

I think not as we know you would of not left empty handed. bless his little soul. Love him.

them all but this especially. Such amazing beautiful dogs, with the best friendly temperaments anyone could ask for. Thanks heaps for doco-ing this for me, you did a fantastic job. Didnt Simon keep us entertained on the way home.

Everyone keeps asking me this when they meet him. I dont know, have not weighed him. He is a boofa, my jaw did drop when I saw him as he was not the size I was expecting . But yes no where near the size of Rocco so it will suit me just fine. I like having a smaller less drool little man around. He is not as athletic as the BM, bless him he tries but still finding his feet. I have a ramp so he doesn't use the 3 steps to the house. He slides down it on his stomach like a slug.... its hilarious.

Thanks everyone. Few more photo's and promise not to bore you with many more. He had a big morning out meeting everyone so all tuckered out. I love how he will lay down and all his skin melts around him.

Nope, he was way to cute. He pretty much had both katie and myself as soon as his chubby enthusiastic little self ran towards us for cuddles. Thanks for the help on this too. Appreciated. It was a long weekend, so worth it though.

I thought Sidman would be happy. I saw Ed in the door all excited. I think Sid will have to come over for a play as Ralph is so NOT interested and poor Simon keeps trying to encourage him. I think Sid will have speed on his side though but Simon will have weight. He does have a cute bum. He was siting in Ralphs bed last night. Couldn't fit but plugged himself in there and all his babyfat hung over the side in rolls, it was adorable but to dark for a photo. :D

He was so good. He didnt rest once when I came home as it was all exciting, so as soon as he was in his crate all I heard was snoring. He's is all go and then fast asleep. He hasn't put one foot wrong.

Im sure he will come around hopefully. Poor Simon is so gentle and just wants a friend. Ralph has been the only dog for sometime now and it will just be adjusting for him. Simon is just so delightful and surprising me how quick he is to learn, nothing fazes him. Loves cuddles. He is totally awesome.

Clyde, I no longer have Reddells. My home was not the right fit for him and he is back with his breeder about 8 months ago now. After this I pretty much decided I love the BM but wanted a breed change and downsize. Ralph is not a happy chappy at the moment. Im sure they will become good friends. Simon is so kind and gentle with him though. He is very cool

There is so much to smoosh, he is such a chunker.

So 8hrs accross Australia we picked up this little straggler..... his name is Simon the 6 month British Bulldog.

Nope, I only knew Alicia through DOL and met when she first asked me to second shoot at a wedding. Most of my good friends now are through DOL. the RnR Thread, it makes me cringe thinking about that. But in a way it helped me grow. Thank god it is lost in cyber space now. To be honest the most I learnt about photography and to think outside the square was the DOL Photo challenges. Its like they kick-started something in me. Thanks again guy.
