Sure, just give your kid some crayons and tell him to go draw on the pit bull. (we didn’t like that kid so much anyway!)

Hey – people who are CONCERNED ABOUT THE DOG –

I’ve owned a few bull terriers. Here are some insights:

- the number one priority of Bull Terrier is the comfort of Bull Terrier. Either that dog doesn’t mind being drawn on, or she doesn’t mind enough for it to be worth the effort of getting up and moving.

- Bull Terrier is the most stubborn of all dog breeds. When Bull Terrier wants to move, Bull Terrier moves, and when Bull Terrier doesn’t want to move, Bull Terrier doesn’t move. Either way, its up to Bull Terrier.

- Bull Terrier loves a warm bath. Some prefer suds, some don’t. Some like to lie down, wait for the water to fill up the tub, and then let their remarkably buoyant rear ends float; others like to stand, and just dunk their heads underwater repeatedly like they’re bobbing for (invisible) apples. No doubt there are other variations. Its a matter of personal preference for Bull Terrier. [Cold bath not recommended for Bull Terrier; may result in injury to owner and/or plumbing.]

- Bull Terrier is devious. If this dog is even slightly annoyed by the markers, she will later search out and destroy the markers. It may be the next day, the next week, or the next year. One way or another: the markers will be no more.

Don’t assume Bull Terrier is thinking “oh, I wish I could get away from this annoying kid, poor me.”

More likely Bull Terrier is thinking, “nice try, kid, but its going to take a lot more than a set of crayolas to get me to give up this primo spot.”

It’s obvious that any sensible person wouldn’t or shouldn’t encourage kids to draw on their pets, but jeez the dog is not being hurt and the kid is just being a little kid, so why all the negative posts? Besides, I’ve had two Bullies and (typically of the breed) when they were not clownin’ around they were just layin’ back and lovin’ being with their humans… just like the one in the photo, get it? Either of my two would happily have let themselves be used as a canvas, but since one was mostly black it would have been pointless.. the colours just wouldn’t have shown up well enough. And yes, that WAS a joke folks.

We adult owners of bull terrier show dogs do this all the time. I use a high
quality women’s white grease paint for my bully’s
nose and corn starch to powder her blaze, collar,
chest, and feet. She’s a brindle and she loves getting prepared for a show. I enjoyed all the posts.

I am assuming this is your grand daughter? If so, this all fits together.

The picture is adoreable, but I think it would have been even cuter taken later in the day when they are both snuggled up together taking a nap, with the dog all “war painted” up. Just shows the true friendship between a kid and his dog…

Oooh, Puppeh Etch-a-Sketch. Me want!
