It’s so hard to resist taking pictures of Roger, my gorgeous Bullador! What a top-posing, canine model he is … as you can see below. With his tuxedo chest, almighty tail that whips so aggressively,and a giant head , he truly is a fabulous beast who just loves, loves, loves! It’s not just his looks that get all the attention, but Roger is also a bit of a smarty pants that has a few tricks to show-off (especially when treats are at the ready).
Roger will be three years old on May first. Oscar, my fiance, picked him up after seeing an ad on Craigslist. He got to see Roger’s mum, who is a yellow lab, and his dad, who is a American Bulldog. With this combo, you obviously get Roger, but instead of being labelled as a “Mutt”, Roger is a BULLADOR! Personally, I had never heard of such a breed, and thought it was made up, but there are actual Bullador breeders out there. Who knew?!
I hope you enjoy checking out some of his shots below … and adore him as much as I do!
Must add that this big puppy is an absolute snuggler, and I don’t think he realises how big he really is as he tries to perch his butt on my knees daily, with the aim of sitting on my lap. He gives the most almighty hugs as soon as you arrive home, with his paws reaching up to my shoulders!
All in all, I have a bad-ass dog!

Surprise, Arizona is a relatively new City (established in 1960), but it holds one of my favourite places to go visit – the wonderful and fun “Wildlife World Zoo“. Plus it’s about 10 minutes from my house which is very handy too!
One thing that stands out is the openness and more natural-looking habitats that exhibits the animals, whilst still allowing spectators to get up and close to check out these non-domestic critters. The zoo doesn’t offer such a commercial flair to bring in the crowds, committing more to the Wildlife aspect as in its name, but there are definitely attractions that make the Zoo fun for all – in such instances that checking out the animals wasn’t enough! I personally love to feed the giraffe … and they love to be fed too … great combo if you ask me. But nothing beats the kid in me and getting myself in that petting zoo!!!!! The cuteness of the goats, deer and llamas head-butting at my legs and nibbling at my clothes is just my thing. I can’t help myself begging my fiance to take a snapshot as the baby goats jump on my back.
By the way, did I mention that there are kangaroos at the zoo – yes, KANGAROOS! I had never seen kangaroos prior to my first visit so I’m always excited to see the bounding fellas.
Surprise zoo also has a skyride which takes you from one side of the zoo to the other. We indulged in this on my first visit due to my low-tolerance to the pain in my feet caused my these silly sandals I chose to wear that day. Comfy shoes that aren’t shy to get a tad mucky are a must, as the zoo paths are dirt trails.
I have never been bored on my visits to the Zoo and hope to get back soon with a camera thats battery doesn’t die 10 minutes into my adventure … please check out some of my pix below (with some help with my new “flare” photography app) …
