Scams, Dumb Email Du Jour & Delilah earns new title
2007-10-05 16:10:00 A new puppy scam is making its way around the net. This one preys on the weakness of people to ‘help homeless animals’, with a liberal helping of greed thrown in for good measure. The email purports to be from someone running an ‘animal rescue’ in Thailand. Apparently, they’re swamped with tons of cute puppies needing ... More About: Email , Scams , Dumb , Title , Delilah

In which Delilah scares us to death.. and fall show schedule
2007-10-01 14:53:00 We had a small health scare with Delilah - something I’m really not equipped for, after what we went through with her brother. I left Sean alone with her, for almost the very first time, so that I could drop in at work for a while. I should point out here that work takes me ...

Riding on the Vick Train
2007-09-27 01:42:00 I’ve noticed a few blogs lauding California t-shirt company ‘Big Dogs’ for launching a new line of Michael Vick slamming t-shirts. I assume they all got their info from the same press release, the one put out by the aptly named ‘Pacific Coast Business Times’. Dogster, Itchmo and a few other well regarded pet blogs have all written entries patting Big Dogs on the back for doing such a fine job of lampooning Michael Vick. Personally - as you’ve likely guessed by now - I’m unimpressed. Read more after the break. (more…) More About: Train , Riding , TRAI

Delilah is almost seven weeks old?
2007-09-21 19:01:00 Yup, time sure does fly. Deli lah will be seven week old this coming Tuesday. Like most French Bulldog puppies at this age, she’s going through that sometimes cute-sometimes weird phase, all gawky puppy feet and limbs. Only one ear is up consistently, with the other either flopsying all over the place, or flying ... More About: Breeding , Lila , Weeks

A few less blogs for a while, and the PETA billboard controversy
2007-09-13 16:36:00 I’ll be writing a few less blogs for the next few weeks - my car was t boned in an intersection yesterday, and my left hand is broken.

I hate the HSUS - And you should, too
2007-09-12 02:06:00 I’ve known for a while that I hate PETA - come on, who doesn’t hate PETA? They’re a self aggrandizing PR-machine that does sweet f*ck all for the actual welfare of actual animals. They are hypocrites. They are liars. They wear stupid costumes, and they kill more animals than they save. But the HSUS? The Humane ... More About: Hate

The High Price of French Bulldogs - in 1909
2007-09-06 18:21:00 Note: This is a first in my re-introduction of the ‘Historical French ies’ series I did for the French Bullytin in the 1990’s. We often hear complaints about how outrageously expensive French Bulldog s are. “$2,500 for a dog!” people cry. “That’s insane - who would pay a price like that?”.

Three Weeks Old - Meet Our Little Girl
2007-09-05 19:25:00 It’s a week today since we lost our little boy, and three weeks yesterday since the pups were born.

Thank You
2007-08-31 18:37:00 Thank you all for being so kind. Practicality tells a breeder to never get too attached to a newborn puppy, since there are so many things that can go wrong. Reality is another matter altogether. Staying up nights and bottle feeding a puppy creates a bond you can’t ignore. The first time he eagerly crawls over and ... More About: Hank

Bottle Feeding the Puppy Boy
2007-08-24 22:48:00 Over the last few days, I’ve been concerned with how the baby boy’s weight gain has stagnated.
