A day in the life told by a Continental bulldog
I wake up with a big stretch and a yawn, then follow my human to the kitchen. After a quick cuddle, we head out for a gentle walk. I greet every person with a wag and a sniff. Back home, I play tug with my rope toy, then settle on my bed for a nap. In the afternoon, my human takes me to the garden where I patrol the fence and chase a butterfly. Later, I sit by the sofa as my human watches TV, leaning against their leg. At bedtime, I curl up in my basket, dreaming of tomorrow's adventures.
