Wonderbutt Sleeps Around
Our bulldog, Wonderbutt, is fickle. Like some people you may know, he is always looking for the next best thing – whether it’s a better treat, a squeakier toy, or a more gullible sucker to give him a butt massage. Loyalty to products or people has never been one of Wonderbutt’s strong suits.
Case in point: we’ve only had the dog for two years, but he has slept in more beds than I have my entire life. (I don’t have pictures of Bed #1-3, as Wonderbutt destroyed them early in his Pernicious Puppy Phase.)
Bed #4 – the cushion he consistently dragged off the couch. (Actually, there were 5 cushions that he did this with on a regular basis, so I guess that would be Beds 4-6)
Bed #8 – An actual mat purchased for him at the pet store.
Bed #9 – A Wonderbutt-sized bed
In the meantime, our 11-year-old golden retriever, Mrs. Pain in the Butt, has had two beds that I can think of – the carpet and the concrete floor. So, after noticing that the concrete floor has become a bit of challenge for our arthritic dog, the Firepants Family made a trip to Petsmart to hand-select the Perfect Pallet for Mrs. P.I.B.
Twenty minutes after this picture was taken…
So much for keeping the receipt…
And, later that evening:
By the next day, Wonderbutt had a Bedding Command Post. Which did not seem to offend Mrs. P.I.B. in the slightest.
When Wonderbutt becomes famous some day, I expect I will be able to sell his Collection of Cots on eBay with the label, “Wonderbutt Slept Here”…
“And here.”
“And here.”

While I feel bad for Mrs. PIB, I am impressed with WBs understanding of being as comfortable as possible when sleeping.
And envious of his having so many places to do that.
He truly asserts himself when it comes to sleeping arrangements.
Love it! Wonderbutt reminds me of our now-deceased Bully, Harry. He, too “slept around.” We now have a Boxer & several Bostons who do the same.
Snorks n snuffles, Wonderbutt!! You’re gorgeous!

I’m not sure I could handle more than one Wonderbutt in our household!
All the bulldogs I’ve known have had a tendency to claim anything and everything as “MY sleepy place!”
You sound like you have a lot more experience with them than I do!
A lot of my friends have bulldogs and pitbulls. My cousin’s Teddy used to push me off the couch if he thought where I was sitting was warmer lol.
That is so naughty! You’re my idol, Wonderbutt!!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
He makes a poor role model, Cupcake!
When you think about it, Wonderbutt doesn’t probably have a lot of other things to think about during the day. Mrs. P.I.B. reminds me of my son who never cared about sitting “shotgun” in the car. Perhaps she knows there are more important things in life!
Mrs. P.I.B. does seem to choose her battles carefully.
Poor Mrs. PIB. One day, when no one is looking, she’s going to put Wonderbutt in his place.
She has put him in his place a few times over other issues, but bedding does not seem to be something she feels is worth fighting over.
Poor old PIB!
It’s a bit difficult to feel sympathetic about someone who won’t stand up for herself!
Sweet Wonderbutt you never cease to amaze us. It is a good thing Mrs. P.I.B. is as laid back as she is and not bothered too much with what you do…even with her things. BTW we think you are already famous. Hugs and nose kisses
I think Wonderbutt could be described as Almost Famous. And I’m fine if it stays that way!
Poor PIB. She really should be off the floor. How about one of those raised cot things (I think they are from Australia). They have no stuffing so I think WonderButt may find them uninteresting. I do like his fort though.
Mrs. P.I.B. is far too neurotic to allow herself to be dangling over the floor. I’m sure Wonderbutt would commandeer that as well!
Awww, poor Mrs. PIB. That young whipper snapper should be ashamed!
Sometimes I feel sorry for her. And then she wakes us up in the middle of the night because she hears acorns hitting the roof, and I’m not so sympathetic.
I can see how that would lower the sympathy level.
It’s the chain of command and when ‘the boss’ wants to lay his head, he will lay it where he wants to. Must agree poor old Mrs PIB does get the wicky end of the stick losing her bed to a young wipper snapper.
My dogs sleep on blankets on the floor , maybe Mrs PIB would like that and His Highness would not
Oh, His Highness makes short work of blankets lying around, I’m afraid. Blankets are made to be shredded, according to Wonderbutt.
Awww, Mrs PIB! Wonderbutt is so funny.
Just when I think he’s lost his appetite for foreign objects, he proves me wrong!
Poor Mrs PIB
She is far too easy-going sometimes.
my favorite photo – the one about the receipt with Mrs. PIB looking at wonderbutt. her expression is priceless and perfect.
I had another photo where he is looking over at Mrs. P.I.B. like he is blaming her for the whole mess. It was a toss-up which photo to post.
Serta should sigh him up immediately. 🙂
They should! He would make a great commercial dog. As long as they don’t feed or water him within 24 hours of the shoot…
Wonder but is an asshole! But a lovable one! 😉
Wonderbutt
A wondrous ass he is!
BOL!! Well done wonderbutt, although you really should share!
Wonderbutt shares nothing, unfortunately. You would think he is an only child.
or the youngest BOL!!
Poor Mrs. P.I.B! She doesn’t seem to be terribly offended though. Wonderbutt sure gets around though, and of course he has to “sample” a taste of each bed, right? 🙂
Of course!

Oh, Wonderbutt. He’s a bulldozer when it comes to getting his way, isn’t he? Our cat is like that with beds, constantly giving Sherm the boot, although he hasn’t yet managed to relocate any of the dog beds around here.
Wow! He sure gets around doesnt he? hehehe
