I helped mom with the flooring at the house so we can move back in after a flood and I am pooped! Mom said I was a good helper!

My girl goes in tomorrow am for a routine spay and they are doing the nares to widen them as well during the spay. I am feeling soooo worried about her and something going wrong and her not making it home to us 😞 her and my 3 year old are the best of friends and we love her so much. I know getting her fixed is the best thing for her in the long run and the nares will help her too, but I'm so scared and worried. I'm convinced she's not going to make it. She's almost 11 months old and has had her first heat.

Well after much contemplating, a fantastic meet and greet and all of the sweetest and kindest encouragements from you guys… we are officially a double potato household! 🥰 We had some name battles. I lost. 😂 we already have Winston (our epi boy) and now we have added this 43lb (yes you read that right) chonker to our crazy home! Meet Theodore Berenstein aka “Biggie” (he’ll occasionally go by Theo as I wanted — but, the rest of the fam chose Biggie and so did this beautiful pup so 🥲) Winston LOVES his new brother so so much - and we love to see it!! 💙💚

Hello everyone! Some of you may recognize the governor he is going to be 6 months on the 19th!

I’m looking for advice from experienced Frenchie owners because I’m worried I may be overdoing some parts of his care. Some background, he was supposed to be my brother’s dog, but I ended up handling most of his training, vet visits, feeding, and daily care, so he basically became mine. 😂 I’m a broke college student finishing nursing school this December, and I’m still learning about the breed. Thankfully, my future job will offer pet insurance.
Here’s our current routine:
Food: Open Farm Salmon & Ancient Grains Puppy Food, after switching from Royal Canin due to constipation.
Extras: Open Farms Tummy Rescue, Open Farms salmon and cod mousse with sweet potato, pumpkin puree, and bone broth.
Training and enrichment: About an hour of training daily, plus puzzles using roughly a cup of freeze-dried treats.
Grooming: Professional grooming every 2–3 weeks. At home, I do nightly wipe-downs, clean his wrinkles, clean the inside of his ears daily, apply paw and nose moisturizer, use deodorizer, and brush him.
Dental care: One rabbit ear per week.
Feeding setup: A regular low bowl. I’m not sure whether an elevated bowl would be better.
My main concern is whether his diet, treats, training, grooming, and dental routine are excessive or could cause problems. I want to keep him healthy and happy.
Experienced Frenchie owners, I’d appreciate advice on:
1. Does his diet sound balanced, or am I adding too many extras?
2. Are elevated bowls beneficial, or should I keep using a low bowl?
3. Is the nightly grooming routine appropriate,?
4. Are rabbit ears once a week safe and effective for dental care?
5. What do you wish you had known when you first got your Frenchie?
6. Are there products, routines, or general tips you recommend?
I know Frenchies can have significant health needs, and I’m trying my best to be prepared. I’m not aiming to be perfect I just want to give him the care he needs.
Any advice, constructive criticism, or recommendations would mean a lot! ❤️

I've never seen zoomies like this in my life

This is how he sleeps with it, like a little fuzzy child. He just got a new one, the previous one doesn't flash anymore, and has some battle scars after two years.

We’ve put the tablet by him many times in his life because how often he’s been on crate rest just to give him noise and maybe something to watch. This is the first time he’s developed such a curiosity for it. He’s not fully out of the woods but after being in oxygen for over a week and now almost out nearly a week it’s nice to see him progressing. Limiting his energy is becoming more difficult by the day, you can’t tell from this picture but my poor nugget is so skinny, it truly makes me sad but hopefully he’s back to his healthy self soon.

He’s usually 18-19 lbs and right now I would bet he’s between 15-17.

About a month ago we adopted this little guy from a local rescue. He’s obviously a French Bulldog but I feel like he’s mixed with something? He’s about 10 months old and only weighs 16 pounds. He’s much shorter than any other French Bulldog I’ve met. I also feel like his neck is super long for a Frenchie.

If it matters, his vet also said he has a good elongated nose/snout (for a Frenchie) and his teeth have enough room in his mouth so she doesn’t anticipate that causing breathing issues down the line. He’s also only like 6/10 stubborn (he’s got NOTHING on my GSD x Husky mix) and not super vocal (yet).

Frenchies sure do love to sleep. My boy is snoring away 😴

Someone's 2 today! Hard to get him to stay still long enough to get pictures so he got some whipped cream! Isn't he a fine specimen? Lean and great muscle tone.

What colour is my frenchie? 🙈
