This little monster has us totally wrapped around his little whiskers but OMG puppies are such a pain! Remembering how to play the puppy games of: What is in your mouth? Give me that. Stop that. NO Potty outside >,< GIVE ME MY SOCK! Granted we have no experience with French Bulldogs and it has been a interesting time learning.

Is that a doggy buggy? He looks so happy outside! Cute, cute, cute! But I don't envy you puppy chores, just like following a 2 year old child around the house! And no rest!

LOL yes it is! Frenchies have issues with to much walking, getting to hot and humidity. So he has his own private doggy buggy. That way he can still go with us and we don't have to worry. He loves it! He is just a shrimp and very very nosy so up in his buggy he can see his surroundings better.

I'm not familiar with the breed LOL Join the club!! My friend and her husband are French Bulldog breeders. They have only had 3 litters as their pups health and safety is more important then selling puppies. Anyway Brutus was from their first litter and they were going to keep him. When we had to have Hershey put down, we knew it was coming, he was a blind, diabetic with liver cancer that had all ready lived longer that expected, we were destroyed. It was the first time in over 40 years that we didn't have a dog and were becoming nonfunctional. Sad I know but "My Flufferino" was my boy/shadow. My friend couldn't stand to see us broken and gifted us Brutus, one of her babies. I sobbed, hubs sobbed, she sobbed and Brutus peed on the carpet. Way to ruin a tender moment and the carpet. We know nothing about Frenchies as due to their cost, we never expected to own one. We usually go to the pound and save dogs. So we are learning by fire lol

...My friend couldn't stand to see us broken and gifted us Brutus, one of her babies. I sobbed, hubs sobbed, she sobbed and Brutus peed on the carpet... That is so funny! Here you and hubby are having this profoundly emotional moment and the puppy chooses that precise moment to pee on the carpet! Pets are wonderful and exasperating at the same time, especially when they are young. So you are caught between cherishing their adorable puppy cuteness and impatiently waiting for them to master basic training. (Sounds a lot like raising toddlers...) Good luck with your carpet and your socks, and try to savor those sweet puppy moments.

Getting ready to go on vacation next month and plan on taking Brutus with us. His car seat arrived today. It doesn't look like it in the pictures but it is big enough for him to turn around and even lie down comfortably if he wants.

What a great idea! Does the bonnet hood come all the way down in case you decide he needs an enforced nap? He looks so proud of himself in his new piece of furniture!

Does the bonnet hood come all the way down in case you decide he needs an enforced nap? > insert evil grin here < YES the bonnet not only comes all the way down but snaps in place MWAHAHAHA I mean . . . yes it does! So far we have been taking him places and he does very well in the car but I do most of the driving and hubs gets distracted easily. I don't wanna be tooling down the highway at 70mph and suddenly have a dog in my lap! He loves his little basket and it sits nicely between us so far so good!

They grow up so fast! I know he's not grown yet, but he looks so much more mature already than he did in the pictures from a couple of months ago.

Soooo we had a good thing going here. Brutus quickly became part of us. Caused hubby and me so many laughs and smiles. Long story, made longer, we sort of felt like he needed a playmate. Was talking to my friend, mentioning how we thought we might at some point think about getting another dog. She is the one who gave us Brutus, she showed up last night with Brutus brother D'Jango!! Yep, it is nuts around here now! Brutus is the black one and D'Jango has the coat of many colors
