When I got my Frances I was given two jars of supplements, glucosamine and omega 3. I just thought it was a bit over kill to give dog supplements,we finished the jars and never got her some more. I had no idea how much of high maintanace EBDs could be. Three years later my baby has a cherry eye and hip displasia. When she gets up in the morning I can almost all hear joints popping. I thought she was always going to be healthy and active like any other dog I have as she was when she was when she was a puppy, I was dead wrong. Now I have her eating a high protien dog food and have her glucosamine(COSEQUIN). The glucosamine helped alot I would recomend for any pup, adult or senior EBD. As we all know EBD activity level and health can significaly change from pup to adult age. I can only wonder if I would have kept her on glucosamine how diffrent things could have turned out....

I have been feeding him the acania puppy food and was wondering how long I had to keep buying the puppy formula and when I could switch to the different recipe ones, like beef & pumpkin, duck & peer and so on. I have attached some recent pics of him. Every time I am getting ready he has to come in the shower and he has to use the blow dryer when I am.(You'll see what he does to the blow dryer cord if I don't share and put it on him in the attached pics) It is the cutest and also craziest thing ever. He is such a big boy and helps with the chores around the house (he will wait by the vacuum for me to start it up again)...I can't even get my actual kids to do that. I dont think I can ever get enough pics of him either, I swear he will be making the same face and I have to take another one. He is also a show stopper and everyone has to come up to him and take a pic or pet him. Its crazy how you don't see too many english bulldogs and people stop for them but not other breeds. We tried to make trip to Lowes yesterday and that didn't work out too well, He was way too excited and so was everyone else there. Very hard to train and get him to listen when ppl keep coming up to him making him go crazy. People think I am crazy because he literally goes everywhere with me right now and he knows when I am getting ready to leave. He won't leave my side and when we walk outside he goes directly to the vehicle and starts barking to get in. Its so hard to explain how different he is than any other dog I've ever had and people are like its a dog Jessica...no he is a baby...literally. I treat all my pets like that but some people don't get it. HE has to be touching me or on my neck to sleep too. I could be spoiling him a tad too much, but that sweet little precious face. He goes to the kids softball games and baseball games when they are early or at night and its not too warm out. He watches them too, its so crazy. And sorry my brain is all over the place, I've been wanting to get on and check in and chat for a while and haven't had time. We are gone every night for practice and weekends for the games....and than my newborn baby (diesel as well)
