Euphoria in the Garden

Posted by F&S

As you know, we Frenchies have been away at Skylands, but we were told that the catmint was being harvested in the Bedford garden.  We remembered this blog posting from 2009 and decided to share it again.  Silly, silly cats!
Sharkey and I witnessed some strange behavior in the garden yesterday causing me to do …

Hey everyone!  It’s Clive, Rufus, and Billie filling in for F & S while they’re still away in Maine.  Gosh!  How we miss those bold little Frenchies, who like to bark at our feet.  They better watch it or they just may get a good kick one of these days!  Anyway, here’s a little update …

When Martha bought the farm, it came with a charming little building called a corn crib.  The corn crib really isn’t used for much, but we all love how it looks in the landscape.  I should say that it really isn’t used for much, until now.

Sharkey and I went to visit our friends, the donks, and we found them running around in their paddock.  We got to wondering who ran faster, donkeys or Frenchies?  What we didn’t expect was that Billie, the spotted one, was so full of facts.

As you know, we Frenchies are going through a rough patch.  Francesca will have her lid sewn shut for another couple of weeks, which means that she’ll also have her eye button and cone collar.  My dewclaw issue is healing well but I still need to have my paw bandaged, which is an issue if …

Uncle Carlos came by the other day the other day because he had some errands to run for Martha.  Of course, we Frenchies, went with him.  One of our stops was the veterinarian, where Francesca had an appointment scheduled and prescriptions to pick up.

Francesca's Eye Problem Update

Posted by Sharkey

On yesterday’s blog, Francesca revealed that she is having an eye problem.  After a few different visits to the vet, we think we are on the right track for healing, what appears to be, a rather serious corneal ulcer.  We are all watching this thing like a hawk to make sure it’s not a progressive …
