On the last day of
the BlogPaws conference, Tillman the English Bulldog treated us to a
skateboarding demonstration. It was one
of the many highlights during the three-day event. Flat Bentley, my husband, and I were able to
meet Tillman and his owner on Friday night.
They are both incredibly sweet and posed for photos with us. Tillman is a representative for Dick VanPatten’s Natural Balance Pet Foods and has a line of dog treats. They travel the country in Tillman’s special
RV making guest appearances. The
adorable Bulldog holds the Guinness Book of World Records for being the fastest
skateboarding dog. He absolutely loves
riding his board. Tillman even has a television
show on the Hallmark channel titled “Who Let the Dogs Out.” He is very down-to-earth for a celebrity of
his stature. It is impossible to meet
and watch him perform without finding yourself wearing a goofy grin.
We were among the
throngs of attendees who cheered Tillman as he raced uphill and down on his
skateboard. In this photo, you can see
how he progresses on his ride. I am
definitely a Tillman groupie!
I
want to give special thanks to Molly the Wally for selecting Barking from the Bayou

wonderful honor!

ReplyDeleteHow neat! I wonder if Mr. N could skateboard.
ReplyDeleteTillman is a star! Good thing you put that explanation of the picture because I initially thought there were three skateboarding dogs.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun....he is so talented on that skateboard and looks like he is having a blast!
