when the hatch is opened. I washed Hoss yesterday and went to wipe dry the boot hatch and jamb and water went everywhere (inside the car, mostly). I don't even know where it came from...it seems to be collecting somewhere on/in the hatch. Any thoughts on how to minimize this.

Haven't you noticed that after it rains the boot is filthy?

Its just the way it is ... a MINI quirk. No biggie.

BTW - I love your Bulldog.
My wife and I have had he joy of owning, or being owned by English Bulldogs and they are such a joy to have.
Our last died of liver cancer at just 2 years old, and we'd love to have another someday. Local breeders are asking $2200 for males and $2500 for females!
Guess that qualifies how badly we want another one.
Keep the pictures of your Bulldog coming!

Hi-Jack...Have you tried an animal rescue or the Humane society? There are so many needy animals available for free it is a shame to give a breeder a ridiculous amount of money like that..Hi-Jack over

Hi-Jack part II: forget those local breeders. There are bulldogs looking for loving homes at www.rescuebulldogs.org.
