As you all know, I am one of the lucky ones who was invited to compete in the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  In preparation, I am presently staying with my breeder, Karen Tracy and I am in training with my handler, Jan Kolnik.  The …

We keep talking about what a mild winter it’s been.  Driving around the farm the other day, we observed a lot of action going on in the vegetable garden.  I guess if it’s going to be unseasonably warm, you might as well take advantage of the situation!

On our last blog posting, we showed you all of the spring-flowering bulbs that have been sprouting with the warm temperatures we’ve been having. As predicted, the temperatures have plummeted and it’s now really quite frigid outside. Good think Ryan, Wilmer, and the rest of the crew have been busy spreading composted mulch …

A beautiful and fragrant orchid appeared suddenly in the kitchen the other day and as I was admiring it, it dawned on me that I had seen it before.  I had a feeling that it was on one of Martha’s blogs from years ago and sure enough, after a little investigation, that’s where it had …

Being French Bulldogs that belong to Martha Stewart, we are naturally very driven and, as you know, incredibly hard workers.  We lead fascinating lives and we love telling you all about it in this blog.  But, we confess, sometimes we just feel weary.  Sorry if this posting causes you to yawn.

We, Frenchies, wanted to catch Martha’s TV show the other day, so we turned it on in the kitchen.  Much to our amazement, we saw three reindeer enter the set, pulling a big gift sled!  But, upon further inspection, we realized they weren’t reindeer at all.
