every time i see a picture of this cutie, it makes me want to get another pooch! is their drool out of control though? seriously i really want to know.
Manny isn't too bad, but I know of others that are, Alison. The main thing with bulldogs is that they have TONS of REALLY EXPENSIVE health issues. They usually require eye surgery in the first years of their lives which costs around $1,000 and they often have serious breathing, skin, and hip problems. Manny also has an irregular heartbeat which costs us around $1,000 to monitor each year (not counting vetinarian visits and medication).
For this reason, SO MANY bulldogs are surrendered each year. Andrew purchased Manny came from a breeder, but we would never go that route again -- there are just too many orphaned bulldogs that need good homes.

In the eighties, I was a little kid who put together model buildings out of notebook paper and Scotch tape and spent days on end playing Monopoly with my best friend. What I've done over the last decade is pretty much the same thing. I began buying, renovating, and renting dozens of properties during Architecture school, where I mostly learned how to stay awake for six days straight.
Today I'm a new mother married with four dogs and way too many houses along the coasts of Florida. We recently moved into and began working on a three story lake house built in 1928.
