Give each other some space… My French bulldogs don’t understand some of my hobbies, like Facebook or reading. I don’t grasp the joy they get from chasing birds or rolling in mud. (Really?) Still, we get along splendidly. In fact, having time for each of us to pursue our individual hobbies keeps us happy and well balanced.…
Be Loyal French Bulldogs don’t complain to their friends when we leave dirty dishes in the sink, gain a few pounds or show up late for an evening walk. I’ve never seen a French bulldog make someone look bad. Normally they make us look better. At least that is what ours think! Learn from your…
Be yourself In the words of the great sage RuPaul, “If you can’t love yourself, how… you gonna love somebody else?” Dogs have no interest in being anyone but themselves. I think this is why they can show affection so easily. They don’t want to impress. They just want to love. Let’s show that we are Thankful…
Don’t forget to have fun I have never met a French bulldog who was too busy to have fun,,but I have met plenty of people who are. (And at times, I’ve been one.) Life is too short not to play and feel good with those we care about.
Show love in big and small ways From laying their heads on our laps while we watch a movie to barking wildly and running in circles when we take them to the park, our French bulldogs let us know we are loved every single day.
Embrace the power of silence Listening is hard work. Many of us (myself included) spend more time waiting for a turn to speak than paying attention to what others are telling us. Our dogs are never waiting to talk. They simply cock their heads and try their best to understand our message. You have to love that!
Treat your loved ones even better than they deserve We should all aspire to be the types of people our French bulldogs think we are. The boost I get from my Frenchies’s adoration reminds me to give that gift to others. Speaking of Treats I hope that everyone that sent us a picture of their…
Prioritize exercise We live in a stressful world. Exercise is a great way to fight back against tension in our lives and also to have meaningful time with loved ones away from computers, phones and other distractions. I think most dogs would agree that we would all be better off if we spent more time together…
Forgive Mistakes No matter what we humans do…whether we are scooting our dogs from comfortable seats in front of the television or going on walks or jogs without them (when the weather is too hot or cold for them). Our dogs never hold a grudge. They forgive us our failings and don’t dwell on our wrongs. With Frenchies…
BlueGrass Families, It is that time of year again that some of our French bulldogs love and others love to hate us. If your French bulldog likes to dress up (and yes some really do!) then send us a picture and the girls will send your Frenchie a yummy all natural pumpkin “treat bag”. Not…
