Delilah felt left out..

/in /by

… so I took some pix of her being a goof in her pen. She’s taken to napping with her fleecy donut bed on her head, like a hat.

She’s at the weird, gawky puppy phase – her feet look too big for her body, her head is all ears, and she doesn’t walk – she run/hop/jumps every place she goes.

Her new trick is sticking her stuffed toy in her water dish, then sucking on it. She is one nutty little puppy…

Check out the goofball faces she was making in these pictures:

A puppy update…

/4 Comments/in /by

Bunny’s pups are blessedly, gloriously vigorous – fat and happy, and already fighting with each other over prime nipple real estate. This is a good thing, because Bunny has decided she would much rather be a pretty pretty princess than a mommy, and is studiously ignoring them, in the hopes this has all been a bad dream. She’s nursing them, or rather she’s allowing me to put them on her to nurse, but other than that she’s not shown one iota of interest in them. Not a lick, not a sniff, nada. This is bad news for me, as it means I’ll be spending the foreseeable future doing the stuff that moms are supposed to do – wiping their bottoms to ensure they’re urinating and defecating, gently wiping down their faces, cleaning poop stains off their bodies, and pushing them back into puppy piles if they stray into the other end of the whelping box.  What fun.

More after the break.

Delilah Digs Her Bed

/2 Comments/in /by

Delilah is officially a French Bulldog – she can’t fall asleep until she digs her bed into an acceptable degree of softness.

Short video after the cut – sorry for the shaky camera work

ps: umm… yeah. That’s my shoe she’s got on her bed. We’re possibly, maybe, just a little bit spoiling her. Read more →

An ethical quandary.. French Bulldog Pedigrees Overseas

/3 Comments/in /by

I’m in something of an ethical quandary over here – namely, do we breed to the dog, or the dog’s owner? And if to the dog, do we breed to him, or do we consider everyone else he has been bred to, as well?

Let me explain… after the cut. Read more →
