Your Friday Moment of Zen – Bullmastiff Puppies at One Day Old
Today’s moment of Zen is my friend Paula’s litter of TEN one day old Bullmastiff puppies. My favorite part of all comes at the very end – watching their tiny little tails wagging like metronomes as they eat. It’s been so long ...
Monday Morning Frenchie Photo Fun
Tessa and Sailor say shut up, and make with the cookies I’ve been mulling over my growing hatred for anyone who says that they can “understand the reasons behind breed bans”. This, coupled with my increasing suspicion that most of t...
Let’s Look at Some Puppies
Do you know what I do when I’m having a bad week? I go outside, sit in a chair, and look at puppies. Puppies in the grass, puppies sun tanning their bellies, puppies pouncing on each other from on top of rocks, puppies piled up in big sleepy pu...
Almost all grown up..
Hard to believe that the first of the puppies leaves this weekend. Pups at this age are wonderful – smart, playful, developing their full personalities. Pups at this age are also trouble – they’ve become adventurous, which can lead ...

Little Miss Sniffles Tries Convenia
Tula’s daughter has a sinus infection. This is likely a result of her snuffling milk up her nose while nursing, which sometimes happens in French Bulldog puppies. I’ve never noticed a correlation between milk snorters and breathing issue...
Pickle Steals My Heart Away…

Oodles of new French Bulldog puppy photos…
Not much time for writing, but I did take some new photos – Delilah’s kids are here and Bunny’s kids are here Here’s my favorite photo – it’s Bunny with her kids. I swear, they’re all almost as large as she i...
French Bulldogs Are Like A Box of Chocolates…
Well, so much for my plans this weekend to grind up and freeze a great big bucket of green lamb tripe. Lamb tripe, by the way, is a really fancy way of saying “Stinky, unprocessed lamb stomach”, and “green” is code for “...
Penny is Missing, and Dexter is a Daddy
How’s the weather where you are? The other morning, my weather geek boyfriend came bounding back into bed to shake me awake and ask me “Guess how cold it is outside?”. I’m very much like my dogs, and averse to emerging from th...
