French Bulldog puppy party time!

These adorable little chunk muffin French Bulldog babies are running me ragged! I’m going to need at least two new washing machines before this is all done (we already one pair already!).

Guess what makes up for all of that laundry? Puppy parties! That’s what we call it when we put all of the puppies down on the floor and just lie there while they crawl all over you. If every sad person in the world could have one puppy party a week, soon there’d be no more sad people left 🙂

Here’s the latest video of our gorgeous bunch of monkey babies:

Oh, and if you’re not already looking at their photos, they’re over here, on Facebook (you don’t have to have a Facebook account to look at them):

I know it’s hard to believe, but two of these kids are still looking for their new homes – Wally, the fat little Brindle boy, and either Pumpkin the pied boy or Meredith the black masked fawn girl (Olga gets to pick!). Learn more here.

French Bulldog puppy madness!

Well, round one of the 2012 puppy madness kicked off on Wednesday morning, when Billie presented us with SIX beautiful French Bulldog puppies. A matched set – 3 boys, 3 girls, in a variety of fun colors. Sleep is now a thing of the past, and it’s about to get worse, with Penelope due this coming Wednesday. As if that’s not enough, I agreed to whelp a litter for a friend (back before I knew both Billie and Nell were pregnant), and Lyra is due any minute now.

Holy crap, y’all (stress sometimes makes me get southern).

Think good thoughts, and here are some pix of Billie crew of cuties in the meantime.

Mississauga Bans Sales of Puppies in Pet Stores

 

Following the lead of  Toronto and of Richmond BC, Mississauga Ontario has also banned the sale of what they refer to as “privately bred puppies”.  This leaves the door open to allow pet stores to offer adoption events, and to feature adoptable puppies from local shelters and rescue groups.

Oh Canada!

Is there anything more Canadian than a little bit of Shatner?

I didn’t think so.

Take the brick pledge - no dogs in hot cars

Take the Brick Pledge – No More Dead Dogs in Hot Cars

When the Lab cross died in the Vaughn Mills Parking lot after Woofstock, what I found most disturbing (aside from the entire situation) were the reports that as many as sixteen people were standing around outside of the car, wondering what to do.

Seemed pretty simple to me – smash the damn window out with a brick.

Sometimes, inciting a little civil disobedience is the only way to get the message across. Since the courts don’t seem to do anything to the people who let their dogs die in hot cars, I assume they’ll extend the same leniency to those of us who pledge to liberate them.
