We are honoring our tenacious senior rescue dog on their 23rd birthday after twenty years of devotion.

“Bully’s 23rd Birthday Bash: Celebrating a Resilient Senior Chihuahua’s Remarkable Journey”

Bully, a Chihuahua born in 1999, has witnessed over two decades of history, from presidential administrations to technological advancements. While he may not remember these moments, his 23rd birthday was a celebration to remember.

For the first 21 years of his life, Bully enjoyed the love and companionship of his family, relishing outdoor adventures and playtime in the park. However, when his previous owner could no longer care for him, Bully found a new home at The Mr. Mo Project, a senior dog rescue organization run by Chris Hughes and his wife.

Despite his age, Bully retained his spirited personality. His former owner described him as a “large dog in a tiny dog’s body,” and this had not changed. According to Hughes, Bully was feisty, playful, kind, independent, gentle, and had a distinctive old man bark. He still enjoyed playtime, even sometimes bossing around other Chihuahuas.

As a senior dog, Bully needed more rest than a young pup, and he embraced his well-earned nap times. Hughes shared that Bully loved to sleep anywhere, whether it was on the kitchen floor, a pee pad, or a comfy bed. For his birthday, the Hughes family decorated their home and presented Bully with two of his favorite things: soft biscuits (crushed for his aging teeth) and plenty of nap time.

The Hughes family goes the extra mile to make the elderly dogs they care for feel cherished, celebrating all kinds of special occasions with them. Whether it’s marking the end of cancer treatments, birthdays, adoptions, or even having a Christmas in July, they ensure that these senior dogs know they are loved.

Thanks to the Hughes family, Bully will continue to enjoy many more special moments and celebrations as he enters his 24th year. It’s a well-deserved honor for this remarkable 23-year-old Chihuahua.
