Just ask Penelope.
She is so tired of superficial people who only value her for her looks! She is talented and creative. She can give you high-five.
How many other girls can do this? Plus when your built like Penelope, it takes lots of effort to get your paw in the air!
*
Okay, okay, she wears a pink bow in her hair and pink polish on her toes. But that’s not her fault. How she dresses has nothing to do with this issue. Besides her human makes her wear it. You have to admit, if it was her choice, she’d be rolling in mud. Dang, damn, pink bow…
Being a beauty is such a beast!
Note re: verisimilitude. Penelope is not her real name. I can’t remember her real name. But I met her for a hurried minute in Pismo Beach. Her human seemed lovely, and Penelope was obviously a very loved, very well-behaved poochini. I am besotted with bull dogs and would love to have one some day, but I would let him or her choose their own accessories, within limits of course……..no piercings or tattoos until your sixteen, that sort of thing.
Cheers from The Holler.
That’s awesome. What a dog!
LOL! She is gorgeous, poor girl!
🙂
I love your new friend! And Penelope is a perfect name for her!
I definitely thought so, but her owner may not! 🙂
There’s just something great about a bulldog… even wearing pink nails and bow!
I agree with you! They have such an air of calm-condescension~
I am in love! 🙂 Blessings! 🙂
Wonderful!! I am too! Blessings to you~
I thought those toes were painted. What a posh pooch. Still no snakes….
I’m writing, I’m writing…….lol! You’re right she is quite chic and posh!!
🙂
Horrified speechless 🙂
I know, I know….She should be wearing a lighter shade of polish……
What an awesome post about Penelope! She’s adorable! I love her snaggle tooth!! My dog hates accessories too!! Hugz Lisa
They look at you with this wise look as if to say, “Is this really necessary?” lol!
They sure do!! His personality always cracks me up
Liebste Cindy wer wird denn da so böse gucken sag doch dem Hündelein die Sonne scheint was will man mehr ,lach , einen schönen Abend und sei ganz lieb gegrüßt Klaus
Sie ist schon und Sie sind sehr schon! Danke Klaus~
Oh dear… no matter how gook looking or ‘not’ so good looking we are, we always have someone who loves us. 😉
Thank God for that!!
Humans are so silly for dressing up their pets. But mind you, it’s all in good fun. 😛
I hope Penelope agrees with us!! lol!
Pepper and I loved this.
So glad that makes me happy! Thank you~
But be prepared, now Pepper’s going to start nagging for accessories, You know he’ll whine, “well Penelope has them.” Get ready to take a stand on this or it could get out of control.
PS- If it does, please post lots and lots of pics. I love it!!!! 🙂
oh no she doesn’t have on nail polish – girl you are so crazy!!!!
I was figuring you might be able to give her some fashion tips!!! That pink polish kinda clashes with the bow, don’t you think!!! lol! Too hilarious~
No dahling…it’s perfecto – BRAVA!!!!
Oh my, now that’s a face with expression.
Yes, but expressing what precisely????? Take off this #@%& bow………
Great Blog! Great photos!

Thank you my friend and same to you x2!
OMG, she’s too adorable for words. I’m in love…. 🙂
I know. Me too. She should select her own polish though……..
LOL!!
Reblogged this on The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap and commented:
I’m in love, again. Meet Cindy’s new friend, Penelope. Dedicating this song to you Cindy!
So Hilarious!! So perfect for Penelope! You crack me up~
I have a sister who has a female like Penelope – the boy dogs go crazy for her. Must be the pheromones.
Well don’t underestimate the appeal of bows and polish. She is one nicely turned out bull dog….
I’m more of a cat person, but Penelope has charisma.
She sure does!!! So cute~
She is definitely a cutie. Now, I would also like to see her owner too 🙂
That is such a good idea for a post! Bulldogs and their owners! Wow!!! I don’t know if the dogs will go along with it though????? LOL!
She’s beautiful and I love the name 😀
Thank you. I did feel it suited her perfectly! lol!
A male would have to be Winston!
beutiful…
Mil grazi!
That is a whole lotta dog going on. She looks like a sweetheart and is too cute for words.
She really was and is! Thank you~
She is so talented and cute. Nice post!!!
Can you even believe the high-five!! I was beyond charmed~
I couldn’t.. 🙂 But it’s awesome!!!
She is IT! The best!
LOL! I agree with you!! 🙂
A real charmer 🙂
She surely is!
LOL, that really made me laugh. How adorable, offering a paw really does look like a big deal.
Honestly, I don’t know how she manages it! lol!
Penelope is awesome and your captions are hilarious! 😀
She is quite the bull-dog fashionista!! lol!! Even though she’s plotting to roll that bow right off in the mud……
I know how she feels, woof! But she is gorgeous!
I can just see her trying to scratch off that nail polish and rub off that bow! When I was a child we had a poodle that had to be groomed. When she came from the groomers she always had a bow in her hair and some perfumey stuff sprayed on her. She would immediately roll in the dirt and run intently through the house rubbing her head on all the walls until the bow came off!
Clowie, please forgive. I mistakenly assumed your human had written this comment But I see it is from you. Never fear. Penelope is no competition for you! But to be on the safe, get the human to take you shopping. Some pale lavendar hair bows would make you the biggest Great Pyrnees fashionista ever!! (Don’t tell your human I said this!)
Pink nail polish, poor dear! I loved this post!
I know. I agree with you. Pale lavendar polish is more appropriate for summer!
LOL!
So cute…..
She was completely adorable and the bond between her and her owner was so evident. Very nice~
Thanks for sharing. Made me smile. But then all your posts do. Your birds and flowers. Your trips
So glad! That makes blogging so worth while!
I loved seeing dogs that are clearly so adored 🙂
Of course. You get to heart of it Eunice. The dog was trying so hard to please the owner and visa versa. Completely touching~
🙂 me the goofball romantic animal lover 🙂 yes you got me PEGGED!!!! HUGS
Birds of a feather blog together……
Wonderful post, I know a dog who looks exactly the same, his name is Sam. Most people arer scared of him because he is so fierce looking ~ but he is the gentlest of creatures x
Bull dogs are such big love bugs! Plus they just bring forth smiles~
Shes adorable. I hope you get your own Penelope soon Cindy.
Me three!!
lol…Penelope is so cute!
Even without makeup!! 🙂
Oh my Cindy – what a set of captures!! The nail polish is to die 🙂 And your commentary is wonderful. well done
So glad you enjoyed it Tina! It was fun to post~
Very thoughtful to let it choose its own lol but what if it wanted to go punk! Lol
I’d stick to the 16 rule. She can go full bore punk at age 16 as long as she saves her allowance to pay for it. Don’t tell anyone this, but I have always had a yen for Billy Idol and his “rebel yell”……..
Penelope is GREAT 🙂 🙂 🙂
She agrees with you!! LOL!
It has been said that dogs and their owners tend to morph into one. Does the owner have pink nails and a bow? 🙂
She probably did, but she looked nothing like Penelope!!! LOL!
Well that’s lucky for her. 🙂
🙂 🙂
big snuffling babeez. I love these types of dogs, too. Excellent “personality” capture. 🙂
I love it when they exert themselves…..they do sort of a combo chuff-snuffle!! 🙂
ha ha ha how cute..Love it..Beautiful dog..
I did one also..it must be the full Moon Cindy 🙂
http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/2013/07/20/3-month-progress-report-on-my-dog-lisha/
3 Months now, all settled in..
X x Good BLOG x
Your poochini Lisha is beauteousness personified!!!
Again with that word 🙂
LOL…
Sorry Cindy, 3am, agony and tired..
x
Oh, so sorry, so hard……
The pink toenails seal the deal! I love the total effect.
I think she also is beautiful without her dress and polished nails. She’s a cutie 🙂
tasteful and understated for a chic summer statement……lol!
Those kind of dogs have such a face — always makes me want to shower them with hugs and kisses! Such a sweet-looking dog!
Plus they have such mellow dispostions!
She’s beautiful, I think the thing about dogs is that their eyes are so expressive, we can see emotions in them and that’s why they’re always so beautiful to us.
What an astute observation Halim. But then, this is what you do!
Thank you! 🙂
Oh my goodness – I could squeeze her!
I have a bully – His name is Fenway. For his 2nd bday I let him have his own Facebook page – LOL
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fenway/179692532137765
Oh my gosh!! He’s gorgeous. We must not let Penelope work her witchy-wiles on him, with her pink paw nails and all…..he’d be practically defenseless!!!
Of course I think it’s one fine animal, but the beauty here is your capture of its very essence.
Thanks for sharing
Awww. That is such a wonderful comment. Thank you~
What a cutie! Want to give her a big hug – and a high five, of course! 😉
You’d have to get down really low to give her a high five!!! 🙂
LOL 😉
Great photos and post Cindy………beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.When we learn to SEE beauty in EVERYTHING the world will be a BETTER place.
I couldn’t possibly agree with you more! Beauty is all around us everyday, we need to take time to let it calm and uplift us~
That dog has Attitude with a capital A, great photos Cindy
She is a hoot isn’t she!!
She sure is
LOL! Beauty or the Beast is the question. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder, but who could resist this charming girl with or without pink polish and bows?
Is it possible to be more beautiful… I am melting with envy of her owner, and I think pink really suits her. It’s one of the heart brekls of reaching the last stages of life, that there isn;t time to have a bulldog, two Irish wolf hounds, two great danes, another bull mastiff, a long hair dachshund, and a brace of dalmations., as well as my salukis, borzois, afhgans, six cavalier king charles,, boxers, labradors and..the rest that I’ve loved and lost !!!
Oh so difficult! So sorry. But one a wonderful history of four legged friends! Cheers to you~
I like her pink manicure… goes along with her outfit. 🙂
You have excellent taste, obviously!
Penelope really needs to be entered into a beauty competition.
I agree whole heartedly! She could sweep all categories, looks, talent, congeniality……
Awesome photos, oozing personality! Poor Penelope, being objectified so!
She really resents being judged by her accessories!!! 🙂
LOL!! You are funny. : ))))x
How nice! Thank you~
Hahaha, so cute! I just saw all those nail polishes at the veterinarian’s office!
I learn something new everday!! I had no idea that vets sell this!! Thanks for giving me the heads up~
I was lamenting that my cats can’t wear polish because the retract their claws.
I think this is an example of species discrimination! So unfair for cat owners. You have my sympathy and so does your lucky kitty!! lol~
Penelope’s a sweetie! But people really shouldn’t breed dogs like that, it’s cruel (in terms of breathing difficulties and so on). Still, all dogs are beautiful!
Yes. This is a big problem. Overbreeding a line is harmful and this is the case with bulldogs.
With, um, a sweet face like that, I’m thinking she might be a New Hampshire native… : )
Probably so!! My mother lived in Dover, for ten years but I’m not a NH ‘loc’ so I may have missed the resemblance!
