I am from a small town on the east coast, went to the local high school. Married at an early age and raised a family. When my children grew up, I went to college to further my career in writing. I chose this form of writing because of everyday living. Life is sometimes too hard from day to day. It makes it tough when there are matters of the heart. So I have mixed love, everyday living and inspiration. My poetry is light and easy on the mind. And the inspirational poems are for the soul. The poems are: love, hate, and make do! I hope reading my book, will make your days and your nights easier, and with the prayers to the Lord, sweeter!

My brother, sisters and I were overly rambunctious when we were young. For the sake of sibling laughter, we were often ruthless. Take our Uncle Bill, for example. He wore an uncanny resemblance to his Bulldog Smitty. When we went to visit, we greeted our uncle with a quickly spoken greeting, hoping he’d never catch on and called him Uncle Bull instead of Uncle Bill. Giddy with laughter, we’d run and play hoping our uncle was none the wiser. This book is dedicated to you, Uncle Bull, I mean Uncle Bill.

Part I
The Bulldog, sometimes called English or British Bulldog because of its origin, has been consistently ranked in the top 10 in popularity by The American Kennel Club. Currently, the ranking places the breed in the 4th position. They are known for their gentleness and patience with children. The fierce look of the Bulldog has often been misleading because they adore being cuddled and loved. They are friendly and playful, protective of their families, lazy and stubborn at times, and they do not realize they are not a lap dog as they snore away in your lap. Give a Bulldog an ample dose of affection, and you have a friend for life.
The Bulldog’s life expectancy ranges from 8 to 10 years. Both the male and the female’s height are similar at 12 – 16 inches (31 – 40 cm). It is common for the male to weigh a few pounds more than the female, and their weight should be between 49 and 55 pounds (22-25 kg). Finely textured coat colors include fawn and white, gray brindle, brindle and white, red, fawn, and red and white. This breed is not known to be an excessive shedder; five minutes of brushing each day is all he needs. Their temperament has been tamed over the centuries, and they are known to be docile, sociable, and freely express fondness and slobber.
The Bulldog is considered a medium-size dog with a full, muscular body. Their limbs are sturdy and low to the ground tocarry a stocky, short body with broad chests and shoulders. Their square head is massive, and their cheeks extend to the sides of their eyes, giving them an eternal grin. Dark round eyes, wrinkled foreheads, tiny ears, and a lower jaw that sticks out further than the upper teeth complete the facial characteristics of the breed. The two loose skin folds at the throat are called a dewlap. Remember to wash and dry the facial skin folds daily to avoid infection.
They walk with a distinctive gait. The muscular legs are located at the very corners of the body, making him waddle and shuffle rather than walk. Their shoulders are wider than their hind end, and because they have boxy heads, it's difficult
