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

We’ve almost completely given
A common issue with french bulldogs is their big ears, they are prone to dirt, mites and it’s usually where Stella’s allergies first manifest. She will scratch them like crazy if she’s having an allergy attack. It’s a recurrent issue and I just wanted to talk about some of the products we use and how
When covid rolled in, Terry and I moved to a working primarily from home situation, that hasn’t really changed after everything opened back up. We tend to do a day or two if the office, but more often than not one of us will be in the flat for the full day now. Stella has
