Peanut asked to go with me when I walked all of the special care bulldogs this morning. I said that he could so off we trotted to the 'barn'. We have three kinds of 'special care' bullies -- males that need air conditioning, females that are going to have puppies and those that need special diets and vitamins and pills.

When Peanut and I entered the barn, the radio was saying that it was 'Elvis Week' in Memphis.

Peanut said, "Elvis is my grandfather!"

"That's right, Peanut, and Mini Elvis is your father. You look a lot like your grandfather except your coat is red, not brindle..."

Peanut's Grandfather, Elvis

"But why does the radio keep saying 'Elvis'?" he asked.

"The Elvis that they are talking about was a rock and roll singer that lived in Memphis." I added, "Mama Judy used to watch Elvis ride his horse! And he would come over and talk to her and her friend. And she saw him when he would go shopping at the mall, too."

"Was he nice?"

"Why, yes, Peanut! He was very nice to everyone and would speak to them", I answered.

"Did he have an English bulldog puppy?" Peanut asked.

"I don't know... maybe... All I know is that he wanted to be a teddy bear."
