Meet Burger

February 1st, 2009

by Kamila and Gabriel

Burger came into our lives at the end of May just about 2 years ago. It was love at first sight, without a doubt. Initially he was supposed to be a present for Mom, but soon enough he became a “Daddy’s boy”.

Burger seems to prefer construction sites than nail salons…at least that’s what Daddy thinks, but truth be told, Burger doesn’t mind what he is doing as long he is close to family. If Burger was a human, he would be most like a chill surfer bro, that would check out a live show in the evening with the love of his life, and still would wake up early to help his parents grocery shop. He is just an all around good guy.

 

Burger definitely makes friends everywhere he goes, and as his parents, we are amazed at how he can bring a smile to a passer by at any time of the day, no matter what that passer by is doing, how their day went, who they’re talking to, or what the weather is. Burger has an undeniable power of delivering joy everywhere he goes. What an amazing ability!!! At the same time, he’s so modest and quiet, he definitely doesn’t realize how popular he is…Or does he?

Another magic power of Burger’s is the secret charm to make people around him sleepy.

It goes like this: you wake up in the morning, want to be productive, sit in front of computer, and suddenly, someone slowly crawls up on the couch… Next thing you know, you hear a snort, and see delightfully relaxed squishy face of Burger, drifting away in a snooze, and…taking you with him. Hey, it’s so much better to sleep in, right? At least in Burger’s chill world. So as you see, Burger’s always been a laid back kind of guy. Ready to lounge at any time, a nature lover, putting family first, patient.

Well, every chill bro needs a beautiful lady around, to truly be happy. And one day, she came (in a silver designer travel bag…). She’s a crazy red-head, Eastern-European flair, devil sitting behind her huge ears… And she turned his life upside down…Bushka…But that’s another doggie story.

Breed: French Bulldog
Place of Birth: Manteca, CA
DOB: March 17, 2007
Nickname: Burger-Schmurger, Burga-derka, Burgington, Burgee, Cream Cheese Kid (his fave food enhancer, plus Burger looks like he was made out of cream cheese, so soft and white), Emo Kid (sometimes he’s just emo), Bud
Likes: Basking in the sun, while sitted in a chair, when we’re having brunch in one of the neighborhood spots; that’s when he attracts all the people’s attention, and acts like he doesn’t even care. Toys that sing songs, skateboarding, Frisbee, “long walks on the beach”, and the weekends!!!
Pet-Peeves: Pedicure
Quirky Tid-bit: Doesn’t eat his food in the morning right away; instead, eats a little, then guards the bowl, so that always-hungry Bushka doesn’t get to it; then eats a little as the day goes, frequently starts eating when it’s time to go for a walk, leaving us hanging at the doorstep.
Our Similarities: He’s a total family-guy, enjoys hiking and all outdoors, and his body reacts similar to Dad’s when he has too much protein! …What????
Trivia: French Bulldogs were quite popular with Parisian prostitutes at the beginning of 20th century, adding element of class to the infamous profession. These notorious belles de nuit kept Frenchies in the bordellos or with them on the streets. Way to get popular!
