I’m more of a city guy. Happy 2025!

Little frozen yogurt for my belly. 😋
It’s finally cooling off here but still too hot for a frenchie like me to walk. I’m here for the neighborhood sniffs and change of scenery.
Why did I take Arnie to Germany for airway surgeries when they do BOAS surgery in America? Because BOAS is much more complex than pinched nares and elongated palates. If you want to learn more, join our facebook group, Brachycephalic Breathing Awareness.
Hey Guys,
As many of you know I have struggled with allergies for years. I was constantly itchy, covered in sores, and taking antibiotics for skin infections. I see a dermatologist and have tried ALL the different allergy meds. Seriously, we tried everything. Nothing helped. So I was forced to take steroids for a long time to keep the inflammation tamped, but then I had the side effects of steroids. Then we got smart and did more in-depth allergy testing. Turns out I am severely allergic to Bermuda grass. WTH!!! My entire yard was Bermuda grass, which basically means I was living completely surrounded by Arnie-Kryptonite.
My human then got smart and ripped all of the grass out of the yard. It was just a dirt lot. ALL of my allergies magically disappeared. I weaned off the steroids and was no meds! Then we went back to the dermatologist and I was tested to see if I am allergic to other types of grass. Turns out I have zero allergies to fescue. So my human installed fescue in my yard and guess what? I am allergy free, medication free, and loving my new grass! I’m acting like a puppy again despite the fact that I am an old man. Makes me feel spicy!
Moral of the story is - remove the kryptonite from your life.
I just got a notification that Arnie turned 10 and a half today. I have mixed emotions. On one hand, I am like “yay, Arnie, yay! You beat the odds and are a senior citizen now!” On the other, I am feeling greedy and need him to give me at least five more years. I dread him getting older and having to deal with the inevitable one day. I can never thank him enough for all the gifts of knowledge and friendship he’s given me over the years. What a blessing.
Anyway, a merrieth unbirthday to ArnStar. And a video to hear how quietly he still sleeps all these years after his trip to Germany for surgery.
Welcome to the life of Arnie. I’m here to tell bad dad jokes and spread evidence based awareness about breathing problems in French bulldogs.
