The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

@oldhenlikesdogs Lisa! You're alive! Always worry about you when you're gone for awhile.

Sorry. I am around, just being quiet. I get quiet when too much going on in my chaotic world. Who knew one little puppy could be the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm not as spry as I once was, and chasing down an active pup is wiping me out.

Such big ears she has! I imagine she'll grow into them. Is she full of energy? I can just imagine her running around like a maniac!

Her ears are growing with her. When I first got her she was a bit sickly from giardia. Under my superb care she's thriving and growing well. She's full of spunk. I call her the happiness guru. She runs full out everywhere she goes with big ears flapping, and legs flying about. She crash lands a lot. She's been a really good puppy. I am getting a workout picking her up, and bending over. Things I haven't done well since my knees were replaced, but I am getting better at.

She's cute - definitely has the Frenchie ears. I'm sorry to hear about your old dog not doing well, and that you had to put your donkey down. Always sad to let old friends go.

Thank you. What's that saying? As one door closes, another one opens? I think I'm at one of those points where I'm losing old dear friends, but also gaining new ones. Life always moves forward whether we are ready or not for it. It has been an introspective year for me.

Well said.

Your dog is adorable. The trademark ears of the French Bulldog really stand out. Maybe the Boston Terrier part of the dog will emerge as it being a bit smaller, ensuring it will always be compact, and cute. Sounds like it has a great personality too.

Thank you. She fits right in here, and I can't imagine life without her now. She's definitely more Boston, she's 3/4 Boston, 1/4 French bulldog, my other mix, Matilda, is a half and half Boston and French bulldog. She's built like a tank. Shorty is gonna be more leggy and lighter.

Brandy broke an egg at Day 14. Never happened before. And my septic issue, which already cost $500 will be $2600 more now. Old system needs new inlet and whatever else. That's not even digging up the old leach field. Bummer day.
