Hiking with Jimbo
We try to bring Jimbo hiking every weekend so he can run around freely off leash and so I have an excuse to shove sweaters on him to make him even cuter. He’s loving the fall brisk weather!
Jimbo’s Lullaby Trailer
So me and Joy have been working on a really reeeaaallly long term film project, illustrating Jimbo’s love for his yellow ball (aka Jimbo’s pursuit of “happiness”/Jimbo’s Lullaby). But that won’t be complete for a while. Still, we got some awesome footage this past weekend of Jimbo at the beach. So we decided to make [...]
I <3 my new moaning zebra leg bone
“Nothing can get me over the loss of Remy…NOTHING…but this artificial, moaning, zebra hind leg carcass might help…” I like to imagine that’s what plays through Jimbo’s mind as he gnaws on his new toy. While my sister and I slept in to recover from the long 14 hour drive back from Chicago, Jimbo had [...]
Goodbye, Ma & Pa! Hello, Windy City!
“Remy, you’re the cutest….Jimbo, don’t worry. You’ll be the cutest by next week.”
That had been the usual running dialogue within the family for the past week as we prepared for Remy’s big move to Denver. While we’d fawn over Remy, his large head, cuddly nature, and free kisses, Jimbo would walk away in a huff–put [...]
The Havoc of Rampant Chewers
Jimbo has a lot of naughty habits. Whenever the front foyer door is open, he likes to sneak in to steal a shoe or two. Or if the bathroom garbage is full, he’ll lessen the load by stealing a wad of used tissue…and he’s absolutely aware of the fact that what he’s doing is bad. [...]
Jimbo’s Lullaby
Music: Claude Debussy’s “Jimbo’s Lullaby”
We actually didn’t want to release this footage yet, since we haven’t completed the video of Jimbo’s dream sequence. But most of our friends and family have watched it already, so we decided to post it anyway. It’ll probably be a while before we get any further in this project.
Leaping Bulldogs
Jimbo is anything but the stereotypical bulldog. He doesn’t drool. He doesn’t snore. We call him the “Anti-Bulldog.” With a tall, lean figure and a boundless supply of energy, rivaling that of the energizer bunny on 5 cans of red bull….Jimbo certainly deviates from the norm. Remy, on the other hand, is the very definition [...]
Counting Sheep
One sheep… Two Sheep…. Wait a minute, that’s not a sheep! For the past two weeks Jimbo’s been practicing jumping over fences all for this one segment in a dream sequence we are planning on producing – a video that will come about waaaaay way in the future.
Remy
Remy is the newest addition to our family, and is specifically my (Jude’s) personal bulldog. Remy joins our home at 7 months old – an older puppy – and proves to be Jimbo’s opposite. While Jimbo clatters around the house like Dennis the Menace, Remy drags his chubby paws in hunt for love. Although he’s [...]
Winter Twilight
Jude rarely visits nowadays, but when he does he always takes gorgeous shots of Jimbo. Even after a long evening flight, there’s no one he appreciates being greeted by more than the family pups. And with Jimbo being one of his favorite models, a puppy photoshoot is always on his weekend agenda. The following pics [...]
Bowties & Sweaters
Our mom often complains about how much money we’re willing to spend on our dogs. There are, of course, the necessary vet bills, and the overpriced but healthier dog foods…but does he really NEED another sweater? And bowties? Really?!……….yes
The Labyrinth
I had been shoveling the 2 feet of snow in the front driveway, wishing that Jimbo could keep me company during the chore and thinking about how the snow paths I dug out would tower over Jimbo’s height, when it occurred to me that I could build an awesome maze in the backyard for him. [...]
Gobble Day!

We’ve been slacking on updating our posts! Instead of turkey & mashed potatoes, Jimbo likes eating leaves for Thanksgiving.
Halloween!
Halloween for us was a 2 day event this year, starting Saturday with the “STRUT YOUR MUTT” CANINE HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARADE at Brookdale Park, NJ and ending on Sunday night with a flock of trick-or-treaters “oooohing” & “ahhhing” at Jimbo’s embarrassing halloween costume. Several people complemented him on his outfit, and even though he didn’t [...]
Jimbo on the Shore
Jimbo on the Shore from Jude Tibay on Vimeo.
We walk across the street, to make it to the boardwalk separating us from the bulldog covered beach. Jimbo, too excited and not the least bit self conscious, hurls himself onto the 1ft raised platform and lands on his tummy, his front paws splayed out before him [...]
Jimbo’s Extended Bday
Jimbo’s Bday Pupcake from Jude Tibay on Vimeo.
…..more toys….and an edible cupcake….Jimbo is so spoiled. But that’s okay cause he just turned 1! Of course we had to wait for Joy to come home from work and school before the festivities could begin. Still, he got to enjoy a car ride, a nice long walk, a [...]
Jimbo’s 1st Bday Cake
Jimbo: “Hi! I just wanted to thank everyone for making my 1st birthday awwwwwesome! I got to go for a fun car ride (windows down and everything) to a doggy bakery where I picked out a pupcake just for me. Then I went for an extra long walk in the park where I got admiring [...]
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
Jimbo: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing from Jude Tibay on Vimeo.
After several weekends of felting, sewing, hot-glue-gunning, Joy and Fae nearly complete there doggy-costume masterpiece. A sheep costume – or more aptly – a “wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing” costume for our beloved English bulldog Jimbo.
Cone Head
Jimbo at 9 months old… he’s endearing, in a bone-headed sort of way. Here he is pictured with his cone head. He had to get surgery to treat his “cherry eye” – when a dog’s 3rd eyelid “pops out” thus appearing like a tumor poking out the corner of his eye.
At the Dog Park
Jimbo at the Dog Park from Jude Tibay on Vimeo.
Jimbo makes his weekly visit to Brookdale Dog Park (www.brookdaledogpark.org) in Montclair, NJ. Since he’s still a puppy, Joy and Fae take him to the pen intended for small dogs, but he’s greeted with a nasty welcome from several vicious miniature dogs. After much bullying from [...]
Snow Day!
Photos by Fae & Joy
Jimbo is loving the snow during New Jersey’s first real winter storm of the season (translate “snow day”).
Naughty!
Photos by Fae Tibay
“What’s this green fuzz, Jimbo?” Fae looks behind Jimbo and to his crate. A side of his bed is torn up, bleeding the plush green fuzz within. What a naughty puppy. For being well trained and disciplined in walking and eating, he sure has his bouts of destruction. He must be in [...]
