“OOOh daddy, who’s that!? He’s so cute. He looks like me, well except for the color. And I’m a little bigger than him. Let me down, let me play with him. He’s jumping around like a little bunny. Let me go dad. I want to chase him around and play with him.”

“Wow, this guy is fun. I can paw his face and tackle him with no effort. Ouch, you bit my face. So, I’m going to bite yours. You like that!? Oh, you want to bite back. Ok let’s roll around and wrestle. This is great, I really like this. I’m so excited. Now he’s making a weird noise. Why are mom and dad yelling at me? Whatever, I’m playing.” He makes that crazy sound again. “Why are mom picking him up and telling me no? What’s going on? Is playing wrong all of a sudden? Why is mom walking away kissing and hugging that guy like she loves him? Oh my goodness, they do love him. They like him more than me. Ever since that guy got here, all I been hearing is “No Tink”, “Stop Tinkerbelle”, “leave him alone”. What, do they think that he’s too good for me? I know he’s cute and all, but oh my gosh what’s up with this change in roles and attention. Why all of a sudden am I the bad guy?! Ok this is gone too far. Mom and Dad, this guy has got to go. He took my spot in bed, he’s using MY potty, drinking MY water, playing with MY toys, chewing on MY bones. He’s been here too long and I’ve had it.”

Next Morning:

What!? he’s still here!?! Stop following me Chubs, I don’t like you. This is my bone. Stop bothering me. Oh, you want to play. OK! Yay, this isn’t half bad rolling around with him. But, now you had to make that weird sound again. Now dad is picking him up and treating him like he’s something special. Ok, I guess, I’ll just have to play with him when you guys aren’t looking. For now, I’ll just give him dirty looks and reminisce on the times when it was just us three.

I’m sitting on the couch watching a movie and all I want is for my french bulldog to cuddle up next to me. And as she looks at me with that adorable face from the floor I can’t help but to pick her up and bring her on the couch. The problem is as soon as I pick her up and bring her up onto the couch she goes to the exact opposite side of the couch and lays down. It’s as if she just wants to be next to me all the time but never cuddled up to me or touching me. It’s the same at night when she sleeps with us, she needs to be on the bed or wherever we are but once she is by us, she reverts to her own little corner as far away from us as possible. I wonder where my little cuddle bug has gone, when we first got Tink all she wanted to do was cuddle, she was so cuddly James was worried we weren’t going to have an active frenchie, boy was he wrong!

In my opinion, Tink is too spoiled and she has begun to think we are her servants and we are living in her house and sleeping in her bed. She is so cute it’s hard not to wanna just pick her up and squeeze her and give her a million kisses and tons of attention. But, I believe this attention has started to get to her head.

James has been reading an article referring to the Alpha dog and Tink definitely has a lot of traits that this article talks about. James said ‘French bulldog puppy boot camp starts today‘…..

Today we took our Frenchie Tink in to Turquoise Animal Hospital. When we checked in, the receptionist/nurse had at least 10 questions for us within 5 minutes. Not even having the dog for a day made some of those questions nearly impossible to answer. Luckily we were able to hand her the AKC registration papers and the medical records from Dr. Butchko’s office. The receptionist left immediately only to return with a thank you, that’s all we’ll needed. We still wanted to call you guys and make sure we had all the right info since we were so excited when we picked her up that we may have missed some info, of course you answered immediately and were readily available to help us out.

Thanks to the Eisenmans for recording the shots she has received and the dates she had received them, our visit was a total success. By taking and marking the DHLPPC and PARVO shots, the Vet was able to recognize what Tink needed to continue on in her initial vaccination series. She got her 2nd Corona Vaccine, her second DA2LPP and her 1st Strongid T Administration. She also inhaled some Bordetella. She is due back in 3 weeks for her next check up and more vaccinations.

We learned today that you guys did a great job in raising Tink to be the awesome french bulldog puppy we already adore. Compliments from the Veterinarian on food choice, the de-clawing and recording of the shots. Tink did such a good job at the vet and the vet was extremely impressed with her updated health status. At the end of our visit the Vet awarded Tink with the “Pet of the day award” because she was so great. (Below is a picture of Tink with her award)

According to the doc, our French Bulldog is in great shape and is off to a good start, regardless of what Mr. Paul Han of Vista may say. One of the receptionist loved Tink so much she even asked us for Breeder information for when she is ready to have a Frenchie of her own.

Oh yeah we would also like to thank you for all the food and Tink’s little toy from home you gave us, she loves it and sleeps with it whenever she falls asleep. Not to mention the fact that she already pretty much potty trained she woke us up three times last night to go outside to the bathroom, went outside, immediately peed on her spot and came back to bed.

We received an email with updates of Tink as well as new pictures of her. At the end of the email the breeders told us we could come down to their house whenever we wanted to visit Tink. We thought about the offer and decided not to be enticed by the tease of only seeing our Frenchie for a couple hours. Then I woke up on Sunday morning and just had this urge to drive to Riverside and visit Tink.

When we walked in to the breeders residence all the puppies were sound asleep in their crate. Tink was laying on her back out cold. Once we peaked our heads into the crate the puppies all started to wake up. I went straight for Tink and held her in my arms she clung on like a little monkey. While I was holding her the breeders let the parents of the puppies in the house (Maya and Boogie). They bustled into the living room with lots of energy and joy. James fell in love with Frenchies and Tink even more when he witnessed firsthand the charming personalities of the parents.

Once the puppies were fully awake we took them outside to the yard. The puppies immediately did their business and then started to play. All except for Tink, all Tink wanted to do was cuddle in my arms and I was happy about it.

The breeders then showed us what they were using for crate training and answered millions of questions we had as we prepare for Tink. It was a wonderful experience to see the puppies interact with each other and their parents. Boogie is a very rambunctious Frenchie and Maya is a beautiful sweet loving frenchie mommy. We learned a lot about what we need to prepare our palace for our little princess. We ended up staying for two hours and are extremely thankful for every moment the breeders let us stay in their lovely home.
