Really got some people fired up there. I have to wonder if all of my words were even read by those. For one I never said I was going to blow smoke in his face. I have yet to give him weed in any form. I love my dog more than anyone outside of my immediate family so I take it kind of offensively that people think I'm just going to get him high for the hell of it. English bulldogs have a shorter life expectancy than other dogs, about 9 years average, so being 8 he's actually old in "bulldog years" They are also prone to a myriad of health problems throuout their life and my boys only dealing with the bad hips so he's had a healthy happy life. The alternative is to give him the prescription the vet recommends for the rest of his life. Well I chose to try and not take those scrips myself and my buddy doesn't have the ability to choose if he wants to or not. I absolutely don't want to see him stumble around or appear drugged to me, that would mean he had too much in my mind. If I do decide to try it, it will be a very small amount, like a 1/4 cookie.
