And speaking of French bulldogs, let me introduce you to Rita...
Rita is the second child of my friends Nathan and Lesley, their first being the beautiful minpin Bella who graduated concurrently with Quint at puppy class. The pictures here are taken on their second day together which is a confusing time for all but I suppose that romantic bed by the fire makes up for the fact that Bella's pampered life as a single child is over...no more greenies to herself and no more "my toys" again, only a life filled with some strange pooch who will eventually become your buddy.
Nathan called me to ask some questions about "the new arrival" and it took me back to when we got little Quint. Lebowski wasn't even all that interested in him when we went to pick out a puppy; he was more into the large backyard. He quickly came to realize though, as Quint got into our car and ultimately got into his bed, that this rascal was here to stay. I really think this bum
med him out for a good couple of months as he watched attention being dispersed (man, I wonder what my cats must think). Feeding was different, scratches were different, bones were different. But now? Now they are inseparable and look like little twins. Just like children, it takes time.
But back to Rita, ah sweet Rita...all ears and belly as they like to say. And that little heart-shaped mark on her rear! I don't know about you but it might have to be a new law that you can't have a minpin AND a french bulldog just because that much cuteness in one room might prove to be deadly. And while I believe my friends that this may in fact be true, you best believe I'm tempting my fate soon with a puppy playdate with my boys.
