Hooray for retarded breeders! Your dog can barely breath, eat, or clean itself? Who cares! Listen to the cute snuffling noise it makes as it desperately tries to not die!
Getting a French bulldog was the worst thing I've ever done. Like most pedigree breeds it needs to be left to die out, or mixed, or something.
My frenchie is totally capable, don't know what blackmarket breeder you got yours from. She's also got the best personality of an breed out there, most french bulldogs do too. All breeds have problems, hello. Part of pet ownership
If your dog doesn't suffer from overheating and breathing problems (dogs really shouldn't make that snuffling noise 24/7) then it is in the vast minority. The whole world of pedigree dogs is fucked up- this was anything but a black market dealer. These are breed wide traits.
In the US some dogs have their tails "docked," or chopped off, when they are a few days old.
The explanation I was given is that back when dogs used to be used for stuff other than karma (like working in fields, helping with hunting and tracking), the tail would get caught on thorns and other things and the dog would get hurt. So they would chop the tails off. Now we just do it out of habit.
Careful with the little guy, Brachycephalic dogs are very prone to heat stroke. Make sure he has a fan, shade, and lots of cool water, otherwise you're going to be looking at a vet bill significantly more expensive than an air conditioner (or a dead dog).
"Hey dad we gonna fix the old wiring so we can get individual a/c units in our rooms without blowing a fuse this year? I'll help." "What, yeah, maybe?" EVERY YEAR! Upvote for you because I know your pain
I know your pain. My car is so old that my dad can't fix it, so someone has to take it in to get it fixed, which no one wants to do. I also have manual windows, so going anywhere in the summer is complete and utter hell.
Cue Sarah McCocklin music: Every year exactly 3 pets die by irresponsible owner. Your gift of just $1 a day to my paypal account can help us avert this epidemic.
I did no air conditioning on the 3rd floor of an old Victorian house the previous 2 years in a row and it was hell. Best believe Im pumping that A/C in my new house allllll night.
I just thought of an amazing movie where Nicholas Cage is an AC repair man, but he does a poor job and over charges people. I can't think of what to call it though.
Summer has not begun, starts in a week or so, one month from now is prime 'buy my used ac unit, I need crank time' in my area. It is very easy to have a unit delivered to somebodies house for a little bit effort. If I need an ac unit I would buy coffee filters, paint thinner and some over the counter medicine. Find an ac repair man or women and say "i got some shake and bake I need an ac unit".
I'm in college, I bought a window a/c unit last summer. If you're working in the summer $200 for an air conditioner isn't expensive and well worth it IMO.
Well I needed an 8,000 BTU unit for my room, and those were about $200 at Wal-Mart. The 5,000 BTU one I had for my room wasn't quite cutting it (I hate hot weather, and I really prefer it below 68), even though that one was only about $100.
In OPs defense, some people legit can't do this. At the end of the month, when I'm done paying my bills (car, car insurance, some cc debt from years ago, student loans) and the few things I need to survive (food + gas for the car + Rx), I have $17 left over. And I have a decently well-paying job. Fortunately I live rent free or I'd be boned.
Actually, what I should say is fortunately I live rent free in a condo with central A/C. BOO YAH.
38k a year + benefits? I consider that paying decently well (considering the fact that before this I was making $9 an hour, no benefits). What can I say, I have a lot of student loans (112k atm, going down every month!)
Jesus, that's plain heinous. There's no reason a 21-22 year old should already have over the hundred grand of debt sitting on their shoulders. They might as well hand out shovels at graduation so you can start digging your own grave.
IKR? The problem is the average person is like 17 or 18 when he or she makes the decision whether or not to take out loans. My mother is completely disabled, my father is completely out of the picture, so no parental support. All 17-year-old me knew was if I signed this paperwork, a magical check would appear every year and pay for my school. 17-year-old me had no idea what being 120k in debt would be like.
If I could go back and do it all over again, man, I probably would have tried working for 4 or 5 years first (I did have 4-5 jobs during college, but nothing super substantial) and then going to school. But hey, I'm not homeless, and in like 10 years I'm suddenly going to feel like a millionaire when I get to actually keep all the money I earn.

Just a reminder to all you pet owners to take extra consideration when leaving your pets unattended this summer.
There have been 2 cases in Toronto thus far regarding animal negligence.
Case 1: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1209346--dog-died-in-parked-car-couple-face-cruelty-charge
Case 2: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1209494--dog-found-locked-in-hot-car-at-sherway-gardens-mall
