Jay Boy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jay Boy
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male Breed: English Bulldog
Home: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
 
   This is Jay Boy. His registered name is J. Edgar Hoover, and he is an English Bulldog. In this picture taken on April 3, 2005, Jay Boy is doing what he does best. He is just standing there watching the world go by. He had just had a bath and rub down and if you included eating those would be his favorite things to do.

    His breathing is noisy (sometimes he sounds just like a coffee pecolator), he snores even when he's awake, but with all of his short-comings he is absolutely adorable. He sleeps on a baby mattress in the utility room, which we call "Jay's Bedroom." He is usually an early riser and he will always visit everyone along side their bed, and he stays close by until everyone is up and going. Then he eats and goes back to sleep. My wife and I were lucky enough to have become his adopted guardians when he had just turned a year old.

    He is getting older now, he will be nine years old in July. But he is still a fine example of an English Bulldog. He weighs between 65 to 68 pounds. He was our first bullyboy, and we got him when he was about one year old. He actually decided to get us, when we went to see him he followed us out the door and he never looked back.

    He is very lovable, he loves people and he follows us all over the house and stays as close to us as possible. He likes to wrestle and play "tug of war" and he usually wins. He and I have snoring contests and he usually wins that contest also, according to my wife.

    He likes attention and he is very patient and he will allow us to dress him up for all the holidays.
