About me
I'm a studied animal psychologist specialized in dogs and I have a broad interest in a lot of topics.
I'm an autodidact that loves to explore and I have a good portion of humor.
You can read more about me on my profile and you are invited to follow @bulldog-joy.
If you like what you read and see leave a vote, tip or comment. I don't mind it. Love to all of you!
This is so great that you have taken on rescues so many times. The sheer joy they bring to people's lives is immeasurable. I wish there were hundreds of thousands of people in the world with hearts as big as yours. Thank you for doing the good thing when it comes to animals :)
Thank you my friend, you are doing the stuff that really matters!
It is true that it matters taking rescues and providing them with the best life possible, but the tough hard work comes with initiatives like yours, or SoiDog, or RSPCA, you name them.
I've tried to get into helping out at the shelter here a while ago, but somehow the women running it was a big ego type, more into body building and rather unfriendly.
And other than that for whatever reason, at least in the area I'm in, a lot want to see a vocational training to be able to help and take care of animals. Germany, sigh.
Too excess of love in this post!! I liked a lot you share these photos, I really like the body art (and the drawing art to xD, c'mon, you are better than Van Gogh haha)
All of your pets had a very good and loveful life. When I see old photos of my dog I always drop a tear (I'm a little sentimental why can I say haha), So it's great that you are sharing this!! and I hope that I can keep watching Joy´s adventures for many many years more too.
PD: I like how do you show love to all your pets!!
Thanks Antonio, appreciate it :) Same with Briana. And who is loving his companion/pet will always drop a tear in memory...that just comes with it. They are family.
Lot of great shots there. I guess you like your dogs a bit. lol. Used to be into dogs, even used to train professionally for several years. Now we've become cat people the last few years, but still a soft spot for the dogs.
My friend cats are fine too :) You were a dog handler? Nice, military or police?
Civilian and Police. Show dogs, general obedience, attack dogs, guard dogs, personal protection, and then a few Police dogs as well. Few decades ago, but still fond memories.
Cool deal and a tough job 👍. A lot of working dogs, esp. in the police force or military deserve more honor. They are serving the country just as much as human police/mil/civ personnel and training them takes a strong mindset.
I would just spoil them lol. Bucki was a natural. I had a situation where a homeless man got attacked by teens when I walked by at night. I said the one little trigger word and Bucki went and stood in front of the homeless protecting him. Eventually the teens let go and left. He was such an angel.

STOPCheck out the last post from @hivebuzz:
Your tattoos are amazing. The portraits of course, but the paws on the feet.. damn!
This is a beautiful tribute. I love your puppos <3 and I'm glad you are keeping their spirits alive. Raiden(my mostly-Rottie) and Bucki look like they would get along so well.
This was beautiful. You brought tears to my eyes :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to check this one out :). They all are so special, each single one of them, period. Have you posted sth about Raiden yet interesting name btw ;)?
Oh don't I know it. Growing up I drove my father crazy because I would tell him I identified more with dogs than humans and I didn't like humans. I think he thought I was a sociopath. My stance holds.
Raiden is peppered here and there throughout random posts but I've never done just a straight up post about him.. maybe back in the day on Steemit but honestly I don't remember. He's got enough personality to have his own account honestly haha, and I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought of it. Maybe I'll make a post about him soon. He's had quite a ride!
As for his name, after I rescued him(he had no name at the time) he was nameless for like 2-3 weeks. If my memory is correct I think I just called him "buddy", or something like that. I had a long list of names and it took forever to choose one. Raiden was suggested by my partner at the time due to their interest in Mortal Kombat. I didn't think much of it at first. Two weeks later I decided to look up the origin of the name for some reason, and found that it comes from Raijin, the Shinto god of thunder/lightning/storms. It started growing on me then. I almost went with "Raijin" to pay tribute but I figured it could be seen less as paying tribute and more of cultural appropriation; also it's a difficult name to be saying constantly when you're used to speaking in western dialect haha.
Sorry, I rant a lot
Ahh totally fine, thanks for sharing Raidens story with me 😊. I hear you on the people vs animals issue lol. All in all I like animals better too 😉 . I'll keep an open eye to spot Raiden. It took me a while to figure out Mollys name after I got her. She was named Gracie but that didn't fit her character. Molly Malone was my thinking, you know, the Irish hooker 😂
Hahahaha I like the name inspiration. I’ll do a post about raidens story someday! He definitely went from worst-case scenario to well... I was gonna say “best” but life hasn’t always been perfect for him with me haha.. but i try!
I think I understand with the "best" life. Had the same with Molly and sometimes I feel bad that she had to deal with me in a state like that. But they help us, and their love is unconditional, it's just hard to grasp sometimes.
