The new life of an adopted French Bulldog in Manchester
This one was a surprise. Stella’s had more than her fair share of medical issues. Between her BOAS surgery, her IVDD and other various issues, we were really hoping she was over any major medical emergencies. A few months ago Stella became really sick with a pyometra – This is essentially a womb infection and
Something I really can’t stand is people using the blanket excuse of ‘they’ve got a fur coat, they’ll be fine!’ as an uneducated excuse for not dressing your dog up for winter. French Bulldogs in particular have incredibly thin coats, especially behind their ears and on their legs and tummy. They get really cold just
I don’t know why I thought this would be fun. Before we get in to it, it’s worth saying that I love Lily’s Kitchen in all flavours. Before we switched to them Stella was very iffy with her food and would refuse to eat, sometimes vomit and generally have a bad time with the first

I see a lot of posts online with people talking about how much they struggle to find the right pet insurance that covers all of their French Bulldog’s needs. So I thought I’d make a more detailed post about my experience with The Co-operative pet insurance. Stella’s been on their insurance for six years now,
At the end of every day I get Stella ready for bed, it’s time for her nightly routine. Keeping her clean, comfortable, and healthy is a nightly requirement, and this routine helps us wind down together before we both head off to sleep. 1. Washing Her Ears One of the first things I do at
It’s been almost three years since Stella’s BOAS surgery. So I guess this will serve as an update on that and where things are at with her now. Perks of the BOAS surgery Since having her surgery in 2019 Stella was doing really well, we were able to take her on walks and adventures with
This is more of a ranty article about some of the weird questions we get asked about Stella on the street, with dog theft being pretty high at the moment it baffles me why some people feel the need to ask questions about her. For reference, here’s some of the shiz you should never ask
