Mom Tries To Groom Her Little Pup. The Little One Protests By Throwing A Totally Cute Temper Tantrum

An adorable little white bulldog named Elvis had a difficult start in life. He was the only puppy in the litter and was born with a cleft lip. This made it seem like he was smiling all the time, so his human parents and his mother Rob Bixley and his wife thought that Elvis would be the perfect name for him. The cleft lip made it more or less impossible for him to breastfeed, so his humans had to feed him with the bottle until he was ready for solid food. All this tender loving care has paid off: Elvis has grown into a happy and healthy bulldog. Below we have published a video that Rob Bixley has made. You will see a young Elvis and his mother Patches in action. He is trying to get him wet, but he prefers not to: many human parents have also faced this! But Patches loves his puppy even when he is irritable and loud. Elvis protests by beating his mother and making some very unusual vocalizations. It almost looks more like a cat than a dog. It is a high moan that seems to rumble and purr. It's strange but somehow comforting, maybe because he's grumpy but he still feels loved and safe. A few months later, after growing a little, it was time for Elvis to leave the nest and move into his home forever. As it happened, the veterinary technician who had always attended Elvis had always wanted a bulldog, so he adopted it! We are pleased to report that everything is going well: Elvis is happy in his new home and in everyone who wants it.
