A Few Words From Fifty

{I give free hugs}



Bonjour tout le monde!


Fifty here. I just wanted to say aĀ big thank you to all of my friends out there that thinks that man wasn’t very nice in calling me a mean name and saying such a horrible thing about me.Ā 


It’s true, I am part Staffordshire, (or so the lovely woman at the rescue center thinksĀ and that not so nice lady who gives me my shots), but I’m not too sure. I never knew my father or my mother. My two sisters and I were found next to a dumpster when I was really little. But don’t feel bad for me, everything turned out OK, and now I have a real mommy and daddy who are both human, so I guess that makes me human too.Ā 


But just because I’m part Staffordshire doesn’t mean that I’m bad. That’s plain dogism. Staffs were Ā booted out of France long before Sarkozy booted out the gypsies (I think that man needs a cuddle). Maybe because the government has been mean to some of my ancestors, that man thought it was OK to be mean to me too.Ā 
(And if they want to kick any dogs out of France, I wish they would start with my cousin Python. He may only be a Jack Russell, but he’s meaner than any dog I’ve ever seen!)


The thing is, regardless of what my father and mother were, I’m a nice dog. I’ve never bitten, growled, or snapped at anyone (but I have licked… a lot!). My mommy and daddy raised me to know better. And I love people. People give me cuddles, and snacks. I’m a happy dog.Ā 
And if that mean man had been nice to me, instead of being a dogist, and understood that it was those awful church bells that were making me bark, I would have given him a cuddle too.Ā 

OK,Ā I gotta go, I can here my mommy coming. AndĀ please don’t tell her that I sent this message. If she finds out that I was using her laptop again, I’ll be grounded.

  3. Wow, those expensive typing lessons your Mum got for you have really paid off. What a clever dog you are. I'm looking after Ted in December who lives near Toulouse. He's also part Staffordshire and extremely intelligent. If you want to take a look at him there are some photos on my blog top right click on Ted to go with his story, 'young at heart'but I warn you he doesn't play with footballs.I'd like a free hug please šŸ™‚

  4. Cher Fifty, I got scolded by a nasty lady because I licked her dog while out playing in a vacant lot. I guess I figured that the other dog wanted to play, too. But the nasty lady didn't want her dog to mingle with me. Dog snobs!Duffy (who's afraid of things that go bump in the night)

  8. Nika says: Humans, very confusing. I go to work with my mom at the flower shop and sometimes a new customer comes in and they ask if I bite.Why would I get to go to work if I bit?Can't they understand a smile is a smile whether on a dog or a human?C'est la vie.

  14. Fifty, I think other doggies, whose owners are not good mommies and daddies like yours are, have given big dogs like you a bad reputation. I know this because I was bitten on the arse by a 140 pound Mastiff who had been abused by his owners. I am still a little scared of some big dogs, but I'm not a jerk about it like that stupid tourist. He should have just walked on by and kept his trap shut instead of calling you an a**hole. Little does he know you not only are quite adept at typing, but you can communicate in English, Doglish and probably French. And, from what your mommy tells us, you are a sweet, affectionate boy.

  16. Fifty has been very mature about this public slight. In another time he would have challenged the Bad Man to a duel and would have – no doubt – won. We all understand that Fifty just didn't like being deafened by the bells. We all know who the a**hole was.

  20. I really enjoy reading your blog, partly because they give me someone else's perspective as a Brit that has upped sticks and now calls somewhere else “home”.I have created a site which features the burblings of blogging Brits living abroad at http://transplanted.collected.info/As part of this, I have included a link to your posts. I hope you don't mind.If you'd prefer me to delete this link, please let me know, and I shall remove it straight away.Thanks a lot!(By the way, we LOVE Fifty, but think you need to write about how she got her name. There has to be story there, surely?)

  29. Fifty – we are two pugs named Buddy and J.J. and we are brothers. Our fsmily adopted us from a rescue mission, too. People either tell us we are cute or we are really ugly and annoying because we have “sinus issues”. We think you are great and won't tell your mom you used her computer if you don't tell ours. Keep the faith, brother from another mother!
