Dafne in the musical stardom
I had to make my English Bulldog world-famous! I had to find a way! …And perhaps I found it. I have fun with a DAW and compose simple music; I am a photographer… the obvious conclusion? A simple music track featuring Dafne snoring and a cover with one of my portraits of her!

Sleeping (beauty) bulldog
I confess that photographing a sleeping bulldog is not exactly the most difficult task that a photographer may face: a sleeping bulldog is… still, with the only exception of some mild shaking of eyelids or ears. Technically there might be the need of shooting in low light and/or bouncing the flash, but surely no autofocus…

Playing with the Bulldog
If she asks to play… you have to do it. If she doesn’t… you have to ask, because she needs to get tired, or you won’t be able to sleep tonight. At the end of the day — quite literally — you must play with her. She can be devastatingly exuberant. I am sure it…

Travelling with my bulldog during the summer
Introduction: holidaying in hot weather Bulldog owners already know they deal with a difficult breed. Travelling with bulldogs is just one of those aspects of bulldog ownership that require extra attention. Having organised a trip with my Dafne, I had to go through a series of issues: here they are, described together with the solutions…

Making toys for your own pet
Satisfaction and economy are two reasons that come to my mind to justify why I tried and make toys for my Dafne, the English Bulldog. Dogs love ropes (shoe laces as well) and although several toys that you can buy, ready-made, already resemble or incorporate a cord in the design, a real cord gives you…
