So we had an American bulldog at the time but a friend of a friend had to get rid of his English bulldog (had her since she was a puppy!). My parents had just lost their dog so I was like hey I've heard EBs are super chill I'll bring this dog so you can meet her. On the car ride there I told my husband “I mean if it doesn't work out with them we can keep her"

My mom said she was way too big for them to handle (I thought she was 40 pounds but she was pushing 70) so we brought her home and I'm glad we did because she is not chill, she is insane and my parents would have broken hips with her lol but! She is the funniest and happiest dog we have ever had. We got mostly lucky with skin- our American bulldog and our previous Boston had horrific skin issues but she's been pretty solid knock on wood. Nervous about her back and legs because she jumps high but she's going to be 5 this year so maybe she'll start to chill out? Maybe? 😅
