Corgi Jailbreak

bunny-baby

When Hanna came home, one of the first things I did was to borrow a mastiff sized crate to keep her in overnight. Thankfully, Hanna was housebroken in a record fast period of time, which is good, because she greatly prefers to sleep on the leather sofa, with her head hanging off the side.

This left the crate free for us to move Billie into, along with her litter box and her collection of stuffed toys and stolen work socks (she likes to grab them out of the laundry room, and bury them underneath her bed).

Every night, I would kiss Billie on the nose, and tuck her into bed with a few cookies for snacks, or maybe a small dish of food (babies need a nosh in the middle of the night, is my reasoning). I’d  lock the crate door, of course – a living room holds an entire world of trouble for puppies to get into.

The trouble came to Billie anyways, because almost every morning I was getting up and finding her either wandering around the living room, or sleeping curled up next to her mother, Bunny, in the big dog bed in front of the bookcase.  After a week of this, I was starting to think I was either senile, losing my mind or that I had a dog who was some sort of canine prodigy escape artist.

Turns out, it was that last one.

Woofstock in Toronto on Saturday!

Pets 4 Life and Bullmarket French Bulldogs at Woofstock in Toronto

If you’re in or near Toronto, and love dogs, then you probably know that this weekend is Woofstock – North America’s Biggest outdoor festival celebrating all things dog!

I’ll be there with Pets 4 Life, and I’d love it you stopped by to say hello. I’ll have Bunny with me, and we’d love to talk about French Bulldogs and raw feeding.

Pets 4 Life will have some free samples of our frozen raw pet food (while supplies last!), and we’ll have some of our awesome Elk Antler Chews, Baked Treats, Life Essentials and Best in Show Probiotic on sale, all at great prices.

By the way, I rarely rave about products, and I almost never push the company I work for, but if you own a dog or a cat, you have GOT to get some Best in Show – this stuff is absolutely amazing. I never put any of my guys on antibiotics without also giving them a tube of Best in Show, and I never wean my puppies without also starting them on it. If you have a puppy from me, you already know all of this, because I never let anyone take a puppy home without a tube of it in their puppy kit! I know breeders who swear that Best in Show has saved entire litters for them, and trust me, breeders are a cynical bunch – if it doesn’t work, we’re not buying it.

Anyway, come on by the booth if you’ll be at Woofstock – we’re near Front and Church, right next to McCann Dog Trainers. I’ll only be there on Saturday, but Pets 4 Life is there for the whole weekend.

Billie goes to a dog show

IMG_3524

I was feeling stir crazy on Sunday after having spent four straight days staring at a computer monitor, so Billie and I decided to go and visit her daddy, Stoli, at the Fergus Dog Show. The Fergus Show has baby puppy classes, which makes it acceptable to bring younger pups onto the show grounds. Since Billie is up to date on her shots, off we went for an adventure.

Billie has never been to a show before – in fact, until yesterday, Billie had never been anyplace before, other than the backyard and a quick walk to the mailbox and back.

Talk about your first times!

Bunny’s Pups at Three Weeks

Bunny's 3 French Bulldog puppies

New photos of the Bunny pups, who are finally starting to act like ‘real’ puppies – complete with barking, growling, mouth wars, and running to the side of the pen to see us when we come into the room.

I love this stage of puppyhood – all the fun, none of the mess. That’s next week, when weaning starts!

Photos after the cut.
