Tula’s French Bulldog Boys, Ten Days Old

A few photos that I didn’t get around to adding the other day. Look at how cute everyone is – and eyes are all open! Last night, Teddy (that’s the Fawn boy’s new name) actually played with me. OK, Sean thinks I was imagining it, but I swear – he was playing!

Frenchie Video – Nursing French Bulldog Puppies

In honor of International Women’s Day, here’s a nice little video that celebrates Tula’s skills as a mother.

Happy Birthday Dear Puppies!

Black Masked Fawn French Bulldog puppy

Tula’s boys turned a week old yesterday, and we celebrated by shooting another video, which I’ll have uploaded for you tomorrow. Everyone is doing just peachy – Striker, our little pied foster baby (who is actually four days older, but now has the same honorary birthday as the boys, just to make my life simpler) is finally looking fat and sassy. He’s almost caught up with Tula’s two hulking big bruisers, and that’s saying something.

Here’s a question for you – do you find puppies at this age as unspeakably adorable as I do, or do you believe (as some nameless people do – ::cough::Fran::cough::) that they look more like little gerbils?

My veterinarian, who is a wonderful woman and a great doctor, took a final look at the fawn boy before we left the clinic the other day, and blurted out “They sort of look like rats at this age, don’t they?”. While I clutched my chest in mock horror, her groomer shrieked from the back room “Are you nuts? Don’t tell a breeder her puppy looks like a RAT!”. She apologized, and I pretended to forgive her (untrue, I’ll hold that grudge forever!), but I was simply stunned to learn that not everyone is as enamoured of puppies at this age as I am.

So, what’s your secret opinion? Lemme know on the poll, and below the cut you’ll find (quelle shock) yet more puppy photos.

Too busy for movies? Watch this instead

The Academy Awards are this weekend, and I’ve been feeling bummed out that I have seen exactly NONE of the nominated films. What can I say? I live miles from the nearest theatre that’s bigger than a shoebox, and I’ve been really busy.

Luckily for me, this video allows me to watch the trailer for EVERY movie that has ever won an Academy Award, and all at the same time.

Friday Zen – Hugo Does MTV

Hugo the French Bulldog is in the new Tim and the Space Cadets video

Hugo the French Bulldog is secretly the star of the new Tim and Space Cadets Video, "Superhero"

It seems that Hugo isn’t content to let his litter brother Po be the only one in the spotlight.

Hugo, it seems, has aspirations of a movie career, and he’s making his big break in a new music video. This note from his doting mom Renee gives us the back story –

It’s a music video for the children’s music group “Tim and the Space Cadets”.

Back in October, they were in desperate need of a french bulldog for the shoot. I said Hugo was available but is just a puppy (at the time he was just about 4 months old) so not sure how much I can get him to do but they agreed to give it a try (I think out of desperation of not finding an adult frenchie…hah).

But to everyone’s surprise, he was extremely obedient! He listened off leash with a crew of 15 people watching and was truly a shining star that day.

No one could believe how well he listened being he was just a baby. Pretty awesome.

I have to agree with Renee – it is pretty awesome, and so is Hugo! Well, so are all the kids – Bunny is so proud of them! 🙂

Video below – Hugo shows up around 1:00 minute in. Just a note to the producers of the video – the only thing that would make this video more awesome? More Hugo!
