Lola the Little Frenchie

          Having a dog can be a pain in the butt, but I wouldn’t trade ours in for any other. My girlfriend’s mother breeds dogs and has about twenty loud ass dogs in her house. They are very annoying but if it keeps her happy then it’s worth it I guess. Living in Hawaii, my girlfriend and I missed our dogs at home and wanted to get one so we could take it to the dog park and have a little friend to play with at home. My girlfriend has always wanted a French Bulldog so she started ordering books and sending me craigslist ads for dogs in the area. We finally decided to get serious in our hunt and found one she really liked. The dog was on the Big Island of Hawaii and we were on Oahu. In order to get the dog we would have to have it flown to us and hope we loved in in person as much as we did online. What I didn’t know at the time was the cost! We paid three grand for the dog and had to pay another hundred for the flight. Thirty one hundred dollars for a dog that sheds, poops and pees everywhere.

          Before we got the dog we made a deal, she would clean up after the dog and bath it regularly. Of course, over a year later and there is dog poop all over my yard that she was supposed to be picking up but doesn’t. The dog was really good for a long time but has now started to get lazy or think she’s slick by hiding under beds or in corners and pooping. Having a baby in the house it’s hard to tell if the baby has a dirty diaper or the dog dropped a deuce somewhere. The dog has also started getting in bed with us at night to sleep with us. The other night the dog threw up all over the bed, guess who’s side she threw up on? Another fun fact about French Bulldogs is that there farts are not only the worst smelling farts known to man, but they are audible. You can hear the dog fart from across the room like a grown man, and soon after, you will smell and taste it!

          Lola is our little French Bulldog. She is great with our baby girl and loves to play catch and have fun with the family. She is quick to bark at someone sneaking up on her or our house so she’s our security alarm as well. Despite the messes she makes, she’s a great dog to have around and a wonderful asset to our family. We wouldn’t trade her in for the world!
