DA REGGIE DOG

"Reggie Was A Nice Man ~ Everybody Loved Him ~ Always Did the Right Thing ~ Joyful to the Brim"

D Strickland - "Reggie" By The Clique - Detour Records 1994

REGGIE IS FAMOUS

"You Guys Kill Me" drools the American from behind his copy of The Times - "Even Your Civil Wars Are Civilised"  he declaires ... "All It Takes is one Lousy Mutt ... And Bang Goes Your Great British Reserve"

Lousy Mutt indeed, they never told me they were going to describe me as a lousy mutt when they film my beautiful face, yes - you guessed it - the British Airways Bulldog is me -  Da Reggie Dog, filmed  during June 99 and screened on UK National TV from July. Well,  I suppose you can't get much more British that a British Bulldog can you?

I had a very special girlfriend, her name was Nika and she lived in America.

But Nika had a heart murmer and needed lots of extra special lovin' from me, but she died. We all miss her very much - Rest In Peace My Sweet Nika

Reggie came to live with us in the June of 1998, bought initially as a show dog.  Unfortunately Reggie developed a problem in the joints of his elbows which threw his gait, but we didn't mind - he's a great dog, full of character and instead we did obedience. Reggie and Tania undertook a 10 week basic obedience course - "Oh! a Bulldog" proclaimed the instructor on our first lesson - but despite missing a couple of classes due to Doza's pups, we passed the course and as a result were spotted by the casting crew sent to chose dogs for the British Airways Advert.

Reggie as a pupster	Now he's almost grown into his skin
Reggie used to sleep in this crate	but he soon got too big for it
So now he sleeps in a big crate	But he prefers the sofa!

  Reggie is all grown up now!

And a message to the fx list - next time you take my mummy to da America - IZ COMIN' TOO!

And if you thought one Reggie Dog in the world was enough - think again 'cos we found another one!

Meet my brother Derrick in the Czech Republic http://www.liatris.mainpage.net/

I had a brother in Spain, his name was Harry and he was European Junior Champion, but he died and we are all very sad about that.  You can visit his memorial at http://www.interbook.net/PERSONAL/BULLDOG/HARRYINGLES_HYML.htm
