Dreaming of springtime

Dreaming of springtime

Posted by Sharkey

I was outdoors last week, dreaming of springtime, when I happened to see Fernando busy at work.  He was getting the pergola ready for some touch ups, before all the plants begin to grow and climb.  You may recall that I really love this pergola and all of the blooms that it supports.  Therefore, I …

What Hides Beneath all of G.K.'s Fur

What Hides Beneath all of G.K.'s Fur

Posted by Sharkey

Yesterday we, Frenchies, were sleeping peacefully, when we were awaked by the sound of running water.  We looked over to the sink only to see a strange and skinny little animal being bathed.  On closer inspection, we discovered that it was a dog, but we couldn’t imagine why another new dog would be in our …

Rules of the Bed

Franny and I have been working hard making G.K. feel welcomed.  Well, maybe not so much Franny.  Getting used to a dog brother is a big adjustment and you know how territorial dogs can be.  Franny is very set in her ways and she’s had to learn to back off considerably.  Take a look at …

G.K. Visits the Chickens

G.K. is a very curious little Chow Chow. He wonders about many things and he asks very good questions. You probably know that Martha likes her eggs really fresh and even raises her own hens. The eggs get collected daily and are delivered to the kitchen and placed in a large bowl. …

Sharkey and I have been writing this blog for 48 weeks and in all that time, I don’t think we mentioned that we are excellent pianists.  Did you even know that Martha has a piano?  We, of course, have a strong preference for French composers.  The other day, G.K. was entirely too rambunctious and I …

Last week, Uncle Carlos took us to visit his friend, Ann, who owns The Toy Chest in Ridgefield, Connecticut. We love toys and were very excited to go there. What Carlos failed to tell us was that The Toy Chest is full of human toys and not a store for dogs, yet we …

You may have read on Martha’s blog that she sent Eliad, her tech guy, to the big electronics show in Las Vegas.  He had a great time there and brought back some really cool new products to show Martha.  We Frenchies, being rather tech savvy ourselves, wanted to check out this new technology because we …

A Trip With Martha To The Home Depot

This past weekend, Martha dressed us in our Lion Brand Yarn www.lionbrand.com sweaters and told Carlos to get the car ready for a road trip.  She wanted to drive to East Hampton to check on the house.  Of course, there were stops to make along the way, including one to The Home Depot.  We, Frenchies, …

Upon further exploration around the house, Franny and I discovered something most unusual.  It was the cutest little tin filled with the cutest little contents.  And you know, anything having to do with French bulldogs is simply superb!

When we Frenchies reflect back on this past year, we’re kind of amazed at how much we have accomplished.  What’s really great, is that we’ve been blogging our experiences all along.  Here are some of our favorites to share with you again.  Oh right – we almost forgot – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
We tried our paws …
