Photo Theft, Idiocy and a Bunny Puppy Update
I run a website called French Bulldog Photos – http://www.frenchbulldogphotos.com
It’s pretty self explanatory – it’s a website filled with nothing but photos of Frenchies. Users register, and create albums for their dogs. Most people are good about it, just using the site to post pictures of their pets, but every once in a while someone tries to use it to post dogs for sale (probably because we have the highest google hit placement for ‘French Bulldog photos’). I clean the gallery out once every few weeks – get rid of blatant ads, or galleries that have sat empty for more than a few weeks. Every so often, I get slack and forget to check it for a month or so, but luckily for me my users keep a pretty close eye on what’s going on in there, and contact me if they see anything inappropriate posted.

More Stupidity in the Congo Trial
Of all the incredibly inane statements to come out of the Congo trial in NJ, this one just about takes the cake – Princeton Township Animal Warden Mark Johnson not only insinuated that the Guy James inflicted the wounds on his dogs himself, but he also testified that James’ dogs were ‘bred to be vicious’.
His proof for this?
They’re fed a raw diet.
How can anyone, in this day and age, be employed as a dog warden and still be such a nitwit? It would funny, if it wasn’t for the fact that Johnson’s testimony played a large part in Congo’s being labeled a ‘vicious dog’, and thus sentenced to death.
Johnson’s over all attitude is one of hostility, towards Congo, the other dogs and the family who owns them.
“Animal Warden Johnson has even said he believes the family may have intentionally wounded one of the pups to make it look in worse shape than it was.
“Miraculously, there was a scar on one of the puppies heads, but when I examined them immediately after the attack, it wasn’t there,” he said.
Johnson also doesn’t buy James’ claim that his dogs were bred for obedience.
“He fed them raw meat and dead rabbits,” he said. “That puts aggression in a dog.”

Oh You Bad Little Bunny!
Bunny is apparently getting bored with motherhood. I can almost see her thinking “Y’know, I have a career to get back to, and things to do. I can’t just sit around in this whelping box all day, looking after these chubby little muffinheads”.
In an attempt to alleviate her boredom, Bunny has gotten herself a new hobby – interior decorating.
In less than 24 hours, Bunny has….
- pulled the clock radio off the table, unplugged it from the wall, and eaten the cord
- eaten a package of sunflower seeds (I should mention here that the package was on top of the three shelf bookshelf, meaning she had to jump from the bed to the bookshelf to get them. I guess she really needed a snack)
- unplugged the lamp from the wall and eaten the cord
- unplugged the baby monitor base, detached the charger from it, and ate the cord – but only after pulling the monitor and charger into the whelping box
- unplugged the (thankfully turned off) heating pad, pulled it into the whelping box, and ate the cord
Looking this list over, it seems her new hobby is actually home electronics. She’s lucky she hasn’t fried herself yet. I spent this afternoon spraying down every necessary cord and piece of electronics in the room with a double dose of Bitter Apple spray. Tonight, I added a liberal coating of Frank’s Hot Sauce.
Hopefully that will work – either that, or she’ll just see it as a challenge.
I should also point out that Bunny hasn’t done this because she’s chew toy deprived – her room is stocked with three kinds of nylabones, a selection of water bottles, and a peanut butter and dog cookie stuffed Kong that I prepare fresh every day. Apparently, those didn’t pose enough of a challenge in logistics for her, as opposed to carefully removing an entire lamp from a table top.
I think I’m finally starting to understand how the owners of sporting breeds feel…
