Zella is quite possibly the friendliest American bulldog puppy ever. During her walks she needs to say "hi" to each and every person. Depending on how busy the Chicago sidewalks are, it could take about an hour to go around one block. Her hobbies include playing tug with her pink pig, chewing on Mom and Dad's toes and pant legs, biting sticks, snuggling on the couch, stealing clothes out of the hamper and getting a tan on the roof. Her dislikes are walks in the rain, not saying "hi" to everyone on her walk and her reflection off all the kitchen appliances. Her best friends are Ziggy (English bulldog), Mia (beagle mix) and Lucy (Maltese). Zella rocks at puppy preschool and is first in her class. Mom and Dad couldn't be prouder of our little munchkin.
She's BEAUTIFUL!! We have an American bulldog in our family, also. They are very very lovable, so don't be surprised if she wants to sit in your lap to watch TV every evening at 70+ pounds.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo cute it looks like a puppy!
She looks like she's saying, "Look let me take a little doze here and THEN I'll play with the ball!" What a wonderful personality. 11 bones absolutely!
If I saw this darling while she was out on her walk, I would absolutely HAVE to pet her! She's adorable beyond words. :)Thanks for sharing her with us!
Zella is such a cutie - how can that wonderful face be scary in an appliance reflection?! Sounds like you have a fantastic life with this little girl - Congratulations. Biscuits and Bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto.
Actually, there were so many adorable photos from which to choose that I just used this one b/c it was the closest ... and featured Zella's pink tongue, of course. Which coordinates nicely with her pink undertones. And her pink toenails (ready for her pawdicure, I presume?) All pink and white and puppish and just too sweet.
Oh my goodness!!! Could she be any cuter???? I am in love!!!! What a precious girl. Enjoy her....lots of kisses on the nose from me!
How adorable!!!!! I know it is going to be a tough day, but seeing precious photos like this keeps me focused!!! Too SWEET!!! :)
"This is why my name is Belle." "I await my subjects." All kidding aside, Belle would be the belle of any ball. She is beautiful beyond words. Would love to cuddle with your munchkin!!
yeah for the bully breeds! my pittie-girl hates the rain too. wonder if it's a common thing for these guys?
Honestly, bulldogs have never been my favorite, but your Zella is totally precious and very photogenic. I can see why she is such a show-stopper on the streets of Chicago !! Now, if I knew she was a Cuns fan, she'd be just about perfect :)
Zella, you are absolutely gorgeous!!! I bet people are always stopping to say hi to you as well! I certainly would!! You look so soft and cuddly! Many, many biscuits for you!!! :D
As the former mommy of a wonderful American Bulldog I can tell you you're in for a wonderful ride. They're fun, gorgeous, regal, sweet, cuddly and just one of the best dogs you can imagine. Enjoy... and many belly-rubs to Zella!!
What wonderful pictures! Each one was cuter than the last, and it was so hard to choose! Zella is beautiful and adorable! I loved the part about her not liking her reflection in the kitchen appliances! Hee!
Of course she is friendly and wants to say "hi" to everyone - she is a bulldog, the friendly breed. Zella is as precious as they come and a great beauty. Hugs, kisses and a box of biscuits from Kansas.
Walking in the rain is hard! My Stella doesn't like it either. Tell Zella she is a good girl with a sweet pink belly.
OMG, you are the cutest ever. MY Sheltie (Dasher) loves to drink ice water from a cup too. Bulldogs ROCK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What a cutie! I have never been a fan of this breed but Zella has won me over. Hearts and snuggles to you Zella. You're a doll!
She's beautiful! I have an all white American Bulldog who doesn't like the rain or puddles either! Don't forget the sunscreen!
Hi Zella, How is your tan coming? An old song "Up On The Roof" comes to mind. You are beautiful and so sweet in your pink collar. Have fun for years to come. Hugs and kisses from Elizabeth and MIss Katie =O)
Saying hi to all those people on the streets of Chicago can wear out even the most energetic puppy! Zella is SO cute and sounds like so much fun!
Zella, must be something about Chicago. My dog and I live here, too, and she has to greet every single person we come across on our walks, so our walks take forEVer. She always looks so sad when we run into the occasional person who is afraid of or uninterested in dogs. Maybe we'll run into you and your parents one of these days and you and my dog can exchange tips on how to deal with those people. Chicago: The City of Friendly Dogs. :)
Way too hard to pick a favorite photo! Zella is super cute. I just know she is saying "psst, c'mere. I gotta tell you somethin'"
Oh my goodness, I had a hard time choosing one picture! what a dolly! I love him. If my babies go to heaven( not for a while or ever I hope) I want a miniature bulldog like her or a miniature bull terrier. They are all so cute!! -Bucky and Bailey's Mom
I said 'DON'T FOLLOW ME!!!' What a beautiful hound. Many hugs and kisses to Maggie May! Oh, and a million biscuits!!!
She looks like she doesn't have a care in the world, I just love this picture she looks so content and peaceful!! Enjoy her
It's so hard to choose a picture for this dog... She is sooo pretty, and I love her name. Zella, you keep an eye on those insidious kitchen appliances!
Wow!! You made a great choice in her. Bulldogs are so smart and loyal. Hope you enjoy Zella for many years. A billion biscuits from me....
Beautiful girl!! Please remember the sunblock when she is tanning, light colored dogs with short hair can get burned. 11 biscuits!
I love her!! I have a Zella too. Her name is actually Mozella, after my Great Grandmother. Mine is American Bulldog/Rottweiler. I will put her on here for all to see, soon.
What an adorable little girl you have! Zella is just breathtaking! Many wonderful years with your girl and a zillion puppy treats from Erie, PA
Ooohhh Zella! I am in love with your pink puppy belly! You are a gorgeous, sweet girl, and you *almost* make me wish I lived in Chicago! Kisses and bickies from Cara in Halifax...
This is possibly the cutest puppy I have EVER seen! SOOOO CUTE!!!!! :) I am envious! :) awwwww... love love love this angel.
Zella's a cutie. She seems to be the perfect little pup! I wish you all the happiness in the world together.
Many great pictures of an adorable pup. I like the one sleeping and the one drinking but this 1/2 of a yawn won me over. Give sweet little Zella plenty biscuits for being so cute.
Zella is gorgeous, I'm jealous she's not mine. Is the A.bull dog available in England. She looks like a combination of a weimaraner and a Labrador.
Zella you are way too cute!!! If I'm ever in Chicago and I see you coming. I'll be sure to say Hi and rub your belly!!! American Bulldogs have the cutest bellies.
"Hey, you lookin' at me?" Zella looks like she's made out of white velvet. What a darling little roly poly she is!
Zella, my beautiful darling, you are a love affair in the making!!!!! 50,000 bones to you!Your mommy & daddy are ssssoooo lucky!
After a long day of jury duty, coming home to find Zella as Puppy of the Day made MY day!!! Too cute!!! I luv a little "fat" face. Zella is so smoochable!
Have a ball with this darling little doggy! I'll bet she's having a ball being the apple of your eye!;))
Zella, you ARE a sweetie....Many happy years there in Chicago...you'll need a doggie sweater in the winter.....many, many bellie rubs and bunches of hugs....11+++++++++++++++++++++++bi scuits Kiss, kiss....Miss Molly & her Mom
She is a one of a kind handful. My sister has a bulldog and a pit-bull too. I have two dogs. The new one was found tied to a post of a vacant house. In bad condition, had him two weeks, he steels everything and greats everyone he can too!
Does Zella live in Lincoln Park? I almost wrecked my car this evening as I was smiling at a very cute dog that looked just like her, who was running over to greet another dog with much enthusiasm.
I just fell in love with you,Zella!! you are adorable,and you know it,don't you,baby doll?? The sweetest thing I've seen in my life!!! Have a happy,happy life,beautiful girl!!
I know this is a dog site-BUT....pictures like this always get to me- they remind me of my cat!!! lol
Her personality shines through in this picture. Really nice pix. Many happy healthy years ahead for all of you.
So so so cute
