Ah. Two bouledogues. We’ve got a ton of them here in Arcachon. In the U.S., they’re called “French bulldogs”.

In Germany they are also called French Bulldogs. They are great dogs but overbred. It’s hard to see them suffer and couldn’t do anything to change the situation…

Yeah I feel really bad about those breeds. We have a corgi and it’s the same problem, over and inbred. They want the legs to be so short the poor dog cannot keep itself off the ground. Luckily our breeder strives more for the health of the race than awards.

I googled them already after I saw the picture of your corgi sitting and waiting for you in the bathroom :laughing:, and realised they have also big health problems. Chuchu (14) is ok, she has both knees operated but has no other problems. Monkey (8) can’t breath, we had 2 surgeries but still problems. We have a good night when we can sleep 4h without him fighting for air.

Hearted. I trust that you understand that it’s a caring heart.

That reminds me that I need to hit up Amazon and see about getting our older Schnauzer a new walking sweater. His has… “shrunk” a bit from last winter.

Beautiful. Looks like a picture perfect match for my two boys. Even the red sweater.

Behold Pig, The Cat. This image is from some years back and, sadly, Pig is no longer with us. He lived a long and happy life with people who loved him, and when his time came he exited the world with dignity. We all should be so lucky.

Pig lived to hunt, and any creature that managed to walk, crawl, slither, skitter, or fly into the yard quickly learned a painful…very often final…lesson as to the power, speed, and fighting prowess of a male blue point Siamese.

In this photo it is clear he is thinking about slaying something. I suspect that expression is one more than a few mice / birds / garter snakes saw just before the lights, as they say, went out.

Check out Canada Pooch. Great products. I have purchased several over the years. Not the least expensive, but high quality. Shipping to France adds quite a bit of cost for me, but they have products I can’t find here. Way back, I also bought some dog sweaters on Etsy. All 3 of my boys are wearing them here.

Here’s a link to the Canada Pooch harness puffer. I bought 3. I maybe messed up the measurements a bit. The smallest one didn’t fit Peanut, my Chihuahua, so he got the middle sized one. Which meant that Ollie, my Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound got the largest one. Sparky, my poodle/Jack Russell is still wearing his Etsy sweater.
