THE MOST COMFORTABLE DOG IN THE WORLD

Doris doesn't look comfy but she slept like this for an hour or so. She has claimed this lounge as her own.

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

The other day Doris was snoring away and a customer had a peak over the counter at her and couldn't stop laughing at Doris's chosen sleeping position.

DORIS THEN

What a spoilt little porker!

DORIS CHILLIN''

DORIS WENT ON HOLIDAYS

Doris went for a holiday to Aunty Donna's for 2 weeks. She and her sister Sindu (the other white bully on the left) had a great time. She played with the other doggies every day. Aunty Donna took special care of our special girl.

LITTLE ANGELS

Posing for the paparazzi

GUMMY BEAR

Doris had 7 teeth taken out. She was suffering from bad teeth for some time. She went under general anaesthetic and stayed overnight at the vets. She has recovered very quickly and is back chewing as best she can.

NEWBORN

Doris was 4 weeks old when we went to choose her from the litter. She was the little lazy one laying in the middle of the pack. I can't believe this was 12 years ago!

WHO"S THAT GIRL?

LOOKING GOOD

FLAT OUT

I said when Doris was a little pup that she wouldn't lay like this when she's older. I was wrong.

CAN I HELP YOU?

Doris had another great day at the shop today. She helped many customers find what they were looking for

PORKY BELLY

DORIS ATE A LIZARD

Doris ate a rubber toy lizard on Wednesday. My son left it sitting next to her and when he came back to get it, all that was left was a leg and a tail. Now it was soft rubber so it wasn't too bad. But when placed in water it expands!! So of course we were stressed out hoping it would make it's way through Doris's bowels before it expanded and stuck. Poo inspection Thursday was negative. Friday doris delivered a very green baby lizard (in many pieces) Congratulations Doris!

WHO IS DORIS?

At the Doris shop I have a blackboard outside with a story about Doris. It's called "Who is Doris?" This is the current feature...

Sometimes you become obsessed with your dog. You know?! I obviously did and with good reason. She is my 1st "child". She was always getting into strife and eating things she shouldn't. This led to lots of visits to the vet. Doris endured many painfil proceedures with tolerance and patience. She always showed compassion for the other sick animals and fondness for the people who helped her recouperate. She was strong, brave and loving through it all.

FAIRY GODMOTHER

TEDDY BEAR

Doris has been described as a living teddy bear.

SISTER SINDU

Doris has a sister (not biological) called Sindu. She is a standard English Bull Terrior. Sindu was named after my yoga teacher and she is now 8 years old. She came to us through a friend who had rescued her from one of those bad breeders who was about to put her down because she was born with congenital deafness. Sindu learnt sign language very easily. She is a wild child, she never stops running around, chasing butterflies and chewing her ball.

WORKING DOG

Doris came to the shop today. She beat me to the gate whaen i was leaving. Her beautiful warm brown eyes looked up at me and how could i say no! She had a great morning with plenty of pats, treats and cuddles. I am sure she would be happy to "work" everyday. Everything goes along smoothly until about 4 oçlock. That's dinner time and she starts to woof at me to feed her. Doris has a lovely deep roo roo woof. Lucky I took extra biscuits!

DAY OF THE DORIS

This blog is essentially about Doris. My miniature english bull terrior. I love her dearly. So much, I named my shop after her. "Something for Doris" A vintage and new clothing jewellery and decor store at 84b Kembla St Wollongong NSW. She is the perfect logo. I am very proud of the store and what it has become. I have been open since July 2006. I have a lot of regular customers who love the store and adore Doris. The store is all about Doris. She is featured on all the price tags. I have had little chocolate buttons printed with Doris that i give out to customers. I have 3 Doris prints on T-shirts(see website) and I'm looking at adding more Doris items to the shop this year too. Doris comes in to the shop about once a week. She walks around under the clothes very slowly... it's very funny. She loves the customers and the treats she gets all day. I have a special lounge chair just for her behind the counter, for afternoon nanna naps.
