βNo! Bedtime!β
Meet Chowder, the Skateboarding Bulldog Who Wonβt Stop Shredding
Chowder the bulldog has always been an adventurous pup, but when he stumbled upon an old skateboard, his curiosity turned into an obsession. From the moment his paws touched the board, there was no turning back.
βThe first time I laid it down, he was on his stomach, and he just started rolling across the driveway,β said his mom, Jami, in a video for The Dodo. βHe really didnβt want help. He was trying to learn. He was super focused!β

Despite his enthusiasm, Chowder quickly outgrew the small, hand-me-down skateboard. Wanting to support their pupβs new passion, his parents got him a custom board designed just for him. As soon as it hit the pavement, Chowder took off, and the rest is history.
Now, thereβs nothing he loves more than skateboarding. Whether itβs rolling down the driveway or mastering new tricks, Chowder is always ready to ride. Even when itβs time to go inside, he tries to squeeze in just one more run.
βHe just wants to skate,β Jami said.

At bedtime, Chowderβs love for skating doesnβt stop. He even tries to bring his beloved skateboard to bed with him.
βYou canβt take the skateboard to bed,β Jami tells him in the video. βNo! Bedtime!β
Over the years, Chowder has honed his skills and become a true skater dog. His family has since welcomed another bulldog, Maddie, who loves watching her big brother shred.
Chowder was born to be a skater, and nothingβnot even bedtimeβcan keep him away from his board.
