EGGS BENEDICT - ONE YEAR OLD

I'm very happy and proud to say Eggs turns one today. The last post I did was after seven weeks with him when he was truly a tiny puppy, unsure of the world and his place in it. After another 35 weeks I can't imagine life without him and he has turned into a wonderful companion for Hannah and I.

I've really enjoyed photographing him every week as he goes about his life and I feel as though I've learnt a ton from simply picking up my camera everytime we go for a walk, its definitely helped me with hitting focus, quick composition and looking for interesting spots or light that would make for a good capture.

So, thanks Eggs. Just keep being the little gremlin you are.

p.s - We've not missed a week on his blog yet! http://tinyeggs.tumblr.com/

FRENCH BULLDOG MEET, LONDON

Back in November last year Hannah and I went to the Frenchie meet in London. It was market research if you like, a bit of window shopping to make sure the breed wasn't yappy or anti social. We couldn't have been more wrong and it only made Hannah more excited to find the right breeder so we could join in the fun

After getting Eggs we had grand plans to attend the Frenchie meet and we finally did this month! As you can see there was a huge turn out with people from all walks of life coming together for a stroll through Regents Park.

How has it been 7 weeks since we collected this little Gremlin? I don't quite know but I've certainly enjoyed the ride! Now that he isn't waking up every two hours at night, relieving himself anywhere he pleases and attempting to commit suicide via stamping I can safely say he is part of our little team! Hannah has been planning to get a Frenchie since our trip to Vancouver last year when she fell in love with one we met at Bark & Fritz. (Note: Just thinking about Vancouver makes me miss is dearly. It's almost a year to the day)

Hannah has spent the last year researching the breed, engrossing herself almost completely in everything French Bulldog, talking to countless breeders to find one she is happy with, going to meet ups in London to see how they are in a 'pack', making sure she knows anything and everything about diet, training, etiquette, veterinary surgeries, insurance, health problems, crate training and learning how to spot a well bred Frenchie. She was like a women possessed and I've loved watching her passion and experience grow before we finally took the plunge on 5th May when we collected him from Charlotte who happens to be one of the most genuinely lovely and supportive women I have ever met. Seriously, her passion for these puppies was palpable as even today she texts Hannah to check everything is ok.
