Five dogs in one cage? No, five dogs in a big kitchen, asleep on the same bed,
even though there are two other beds just a few feet away.
Lacy loves the plums that drop from our tree. They're a toy and a snack!
A warm summer night, a glass of wine, and Maxx is out cold.
Just don't tell his buddies he likes rosé.

Another AM/CAN CHAMPION at the Tahoma house.
LACY got her last major this past weekend at Spokane shows
(entry of 14 bitches) under judge Darryl Vice, and finished.

in Best of Breed competition together.

Our next Frenchie Walk will be at Jack Block Park, on Harbor Ave. in West Seattle.
This underutilized and dog-friendly Port of Seattle park has a spectacular
view of downtown.
The entrance to the park is under a large, orange arch, just before you get to Salty's.
Maxx and his daughter Nai'a
Gertie and her daughter Luna were among the two dozen Frenchies who
enjoyed our May "walk" at the off-leash area at Robinswood Park in Bellevue.
Balboa (formerly Panda) had a nice visit with his dad Maxx recently.
At our first French Bulldog Walk of 2010, about a dozen Frenchies and a couple of their English cousins
enjoyed an afternoon of perfect weather at Seward Park.
Gertie: Ball? Walk? Ball? Walk?

went on safari, and visited the island of Zanzibar. Click here to view his photos.
The Maxx-Squirrel puppies are 12 weeks old.
We'd sure like to see a few of them end up in show homes!
Lacy, her sister Button, and her brother Benny
are getting ready for the Seattle Kennel Club show.
It's hard to believe they turned a year old last month!
Grandmothers Phoenix and Gertie are enjoying
an unusually warm, sunny February day.

The litter of puppies that Maxx sired are looking great.
They're about eight weeks old.
Woody turns 13 this week. Though he's a bit wobbly,
he's still happy, playful and affectionate.

Best of Opposite Sex. She now has 10 of the 15 points needed for her American Championship.
