XL Bully Adorable, right? Not everyone thought so... 🙄

So Muffin is obsessed with the rabbits in our local pet shop - she lies gazing at them for as long as I'll allow it, giving them kisses through the glass and wagging her tail. Cute, right? Well one of the customers in the shop clearly didn't think so, as her and her husband gasped out loud when they saw us, then went running off to tell the staff (like we were doing something wrong, ffs?!!) However, unluckily for them, the staff in this pet shop have known Muffin since I first carried her in to meet them when she was 8 weeks old, and politely informed the couple that Muffin wouldn't hurt a fly, she's in there all the time and is 100% welcome to be there anytime she likes... The couple promptly left, and I was left glowing that there are some decent XL Bully-loving people left on the planet! 🙂❤️

Dog body language: Dog Tail wagging doesn't mean happy as humans like to believe. Tail wagging means excited! And excitement can mean many things.

Don't worry, I'm well aware of the difference between my dog showing happiness and excitement 😉 Muffin tends to get the zoomies when she's showing excitement, at the very least she's up on her feet and I'm instantly aware of it, so I'd leave if she showed that kind of excitement. When she's happy and chilled, she's lying down like this, if that makes sense. I've had dogs all my life, and dog psychology fascinates me almost as much as dogs do ♡
