I don’t want to be the same person I was before I lost you.

Because that person had you.

That person woke up with you, came home to you, made plans around you, and moved through life knowing you were there.

So much of who I was existed because we were together.
You were part of my routines, my comfort, my happiness, my everyday life.

You weren’t just someone I loved. You were part of who I was.

And now, I have to learn who I am in a world where you’re no longer physically here.

I know I’ll never be the same without you.

But I don’t want to be.

Because being the same would mean pretending a part of me isn’t missing. And you were far too important for your absence not to change me. 🤍

These two French Bulldogs show just how different breeding priorities can change the way a dog looks.

On the left is Arnie, a former AKC show French Bulldog.

On the right is Flint, bred in the Netherlands by Hawbucks French Bulldogs, a breeder focused on creating a healthier and more athletic version of the breed.

Hawbucks deliberately selects for traits such as a longer muzzle, more balanced proportions, better movement and easier breathing.

The difference is immediately noticeable.

Modern French Bulldogs are famous for their flat faces and compact bodies, but those exaggerated features can also be linked to serious breathing and health problems.

Breeders like Hawbucks are trying to move in the opposite direction by producing dogs that still look recognisably French Bulldog, but with fewer extreme physical traits.

It is a striking reminder that selective breeding does not just change how animals look.

It can also change how comfortably they live.

🐾 DOG WALKING AVAILABILITY FROM SEPTEMBER 🐾

After a lovely busy summer, I have a small amount of availability opening up from September! 🐶

I’ve been running my local dog walking business for the past 12 years, caring for lots of wonderful dogs along the way.

One thing I like to offer is flexibility — there are no fixed days or contracts to tie you in. You can choose the days you need on a weekly basis, making it ideal for changing work schedules and busy lives.

Whether your dog needs regular walks or just the occasional extra outing, I’d love to hear from you! ❤️🐾

Please feel free to message me for more information.

Loving our mild weather today 🍁

How we safely benefit from a trip out in the heat. No partition in my van so full icy air con throughout. Pull up straight to a stream for a swim and a stretch out and the loo. Then back in and home. The drive itself is a break from the heat for them. Less of the scary posts that are being spread. My girl actually struggles once we’re home!!
