Eulogy For English Bulldogs

I have a family of five, two brothers and two parents. My dad works for Ricoh, a company that sells printers, copiers and software. He grew up in a Greek household in northern Chicago. My mom started her own interior design business a few years ago and works for herself. She grew up on a farm in eastern Indiana in the small town of Fort Wayne. My brother Nick is enrolled at University of Iowa and will graduate with a finance major in May. My other brother Drew is a sophomore at University of Illinois and plans to major in finance or accounting. Then there is Matt, the fidgety man who tinkers with electronics, enjoys woodworking and creates better alternatives for random things (toys, RC cars, furniture, etc.). I plan to pursue engineering at University of Illinois, University of Iowa or University of Iowa State because of my love for problem solving and working with others. Golf will forever be apart of my life and so will my passion for pond hockey (as long as my body lets me). I may be quiet and shy when I first meet you but I’m a totally new person around my friends and very outgoing. I’m determined to work hard and make a change in the world someday. I hope to create a lasting legacy on this Earth.

I have cheered since I was four and have been a cheerleader for my school since I was in 6th grade.

I was born on May 6th, 2004, in the morning. Even when I was very young, 2 or 3 years old, my interests became prominent. First of all, I loved music. I would dance to all the songs that came on the radio, and I started singing to my favorites. I loved the way songs came together- the complexity, the unique array of notes, and the placement of rhythm. I started painting at an early age, when I was four, in 2008. As I painted I would hum my own tunes, which began my love of singing and art. That same year we got our family’s first dog, Ruby Sue, who has been a major part of my life. But into every life, some rain must fall. When I was 8 years old, and in second grade, I became very ill. I missed nearly four weeks of school, and was hospitalized for three days. When I was over the illness, the doctors determined that it had been atypical measles; I began to get anxiety on a regular basis, and had to be talked down frequently.

During the decade that I bred, raised, and placed English Bulldogs into their new forever homes, I ran into many issues both with the dogs and the people I encountered along the way. Although I researched the breed thoroughly prior to the purchase of my own English Bulldogs, I still managed encounter health and temperament issues of the dogs, as well as the common greedily natured people wanting to breed them to make a quick buck. There are, however many wonderful owners of English Bulldogs that love their dogs immensely; often treating them as they would a child and spoiling them rotten. These types of people were the very reason I began to raise English Bulldogs. Since I too had experienced the great love of this breed, I decided to

English bulldogs are no longer a fit healthy dog, and people are now saying that there is no such thing as a healthy bulldog and their poor health and survival is a result from selective breeding. English bulldogs suffer from almost every possible disease. A 2004 survey by the Kennel Club found that these dogs die on average at an unfortunate age of 6.25 years. Over the years the English bulldog’s physical traits have been breed to the extreme. Their faces have become flatter, the legs have shortened, head is larger and the well-known under bite has grown as seen in Fig.1. Although these traits seem to look ‘cute’ or ‘desirable’ to humans it is having a massive effect on the dog. The shortness and shape of the English bulldog today means that

So I would like to present myself officially. My full name is Andrea Paniagua, I was born on May 4, 1996, which makes me 20 years old right now. I am from Hendersonville, North Carolina, but was born in Naples, Florida. I am Mexican American.

I love my family and friends, they mean so me I do not know what I would do without them. They are so supportive and understanding. I have a lot of special memories but those two memories stick out the most because that was when I was actually happy. I have a lot of downs but I will save that story for the next chapter. I have had great achievements and that is when I got my trophies for my cheer competitions I have three cheer trophies but I also have two karate trophies from when I was about seven or eight years old. They were some fun times, I met a lot of new friends and many nice

Is the bulldog doomed? Are bulldogs fine the way they are? Do Bulldogs need help? Bulldogs need help now and fast! One reason is Bulldogs need help with their physical pain! One reason is that there flat-faces makes it hard for the bulldogs to breath. This proves bulldogs flat-faces make it hard for them to breath and can't do most of the activities. Another reason is their wrinkles on their face can cause skin problems for the bulldogs. This shows that there big wrinkles can cause skin problems in the future and people might not want to adopt or breed them if they have a skin problem. So, this shows some of the bulldogs physical problems that they have.Bulldogs are just fine the way there are nowadays. One reason is some people want bulldogs

Good Morning everyone, thank you so much for coming today. I really appreciate your kindness on attending my dog I would like to begin my speech by quoting a sentence from Senator George Vest speech, in 1910, it says: "The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never provost ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.”

Many have said, “Dogs are man’s best friend.” George Graham Vest speech, Tribute to the Dog, is about how loyal a dog is to its master. Vest discussed some of dog's traits that human beings lack. Unlike man, a dog is loyal to its owner, they will stand by its master no matter what. On page 94 lines 15-16, Vest says “A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty. . .”

“Love what you do and do what you love. Don’t listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love.”- Ray Bradbury. Bradbury’s quote caught my eye in eighth grade English while we were reading some of his works. This quote changed the reason I did things in my life and has set me on what I hope to be a bright path. I am Hazel Ambort. I was born on September 7th, 2000, three minutes before my twin sister, Lilli. I also have another younger sister named Janey, who turned one this summer. Additionally, I have two dogs: Buster and Ava, and two cats: Clara and Claws. I started going to Bettendorf Schools when I moved from Rock Island, Illinois in sixth grade. I enjoy playing softball and tennis, I also participate

The German Shepherd is not only one of the world's most popular companion dogs, but also probably the most widely used breed for service work. The development of the German Shepherd Dog, along with a number of existing breeds, helped pioneer the modern use of dogs for service and community work that we can see today. For a breed of dog that has only been officially recognised for just over 100 years, it has made an outstanding contribution to mankind worldwide.

I have many hobbies that I fill my time with. I enjoy reading. Ever since I was little my dad has called me a “voracious reader”. I am open to reading any kind of book, but I especially love realistic fiction, action adventure, and nonfiction. I also love playing sports. I did track for one year, softball for two years, gymnastics for three years, basketball for five years, and soccer my whole life as well as camps for tennis and swim. I find that playing sports has taught me many important skills including teamwork and reaching out to others as I’ve played with new people. These sports have also taught me the importance of staying healthy and fit. One of my other hobbies is music. I love music and find myself dabbling in piano and guitar whenever I have free time. I also play the trumpet and sing in my church choir. Lastly, I love baking and cooking. Although to my parents dismay sometimes (because they complain I’m making them fat) I always find myself gravitating to the kitchen and have acquired quite the collection of pans, sprinkles, food coloring, and other tools. My hobbies have taught me the importance of hard work and dedication and a love for trying new things.
