Just to let you all know about Bella we took her to the vet today
and she is doing fine she is 2.5 lbs now she is 10 weeks old
and loves to play and is real good about getting her way all the
ladies at the vet office still can not believe how small she is they
give her a lot of hugs and kisses. We have to keep Bella with us
away from her brothers and sisters because they are getting
bigger and Bella is so small we are afraid she might get hurt here

The pictures below was took on Sunday march 14 th of my grandson playing with little fellow and Bella little
fellow is the only French puppies that we let play with Bella, Bella is allot older than him and he is the smallest
one out of his brothers and sisters and he is already twice the size of Bella, they play real good together and
Bella likes playing with him, Bella just loves to show off her new outfits Bella is up to 3lbs and 3oz and she is still
the same height we are trying every thing we can to get her to grow some more because she is just to small but
the main thing is she is healthy and happy. We will keep on spoiling her.

Bella is 8 months old now and she weights about 8 pounds and very
small for her age. She is very helpful playing with all the new
puppies we have and she teaching them how to go out side and
potty. But she still lets them know she is still the boss and the baby
of the house.
That our Bella we love her!!

Just to update you on Bella we had her 1 year old
birthday party and that was the first time we ever had a
party for a dog but to us Bella is more than just a dog she
is a part of our family . If you have a small French bulldog
we would love to hear from you we think Bella is the
smallest French Bulldog in the United States but we are
not for sure all the people and other breeders are amazed
how small she is and they asked us how did we get so
lucky getting Bella. I tell them at first we did not feel
lucky at the time that we had to feed Bella every two
hours around the clock Bella was not going to give up so
we was not going to give up on her so we kept all the
hard work up and after 3 weeks it got allot easier boy
wasn't I glad of that every day goes by Bella amazes us
she learned how to sit up just like a person all on her own
I will try to take a picture of her the next time she is
sitting up it is so cute.

Well Bella is over one year old and just as silly as can be she still loves her cheese
and lets all the other Frenches know she is the boss when we give her a treat and
the other Frenches a treat to Bella likes to wait until they eat theres up and then
she likes to torments them when they Come to get her treat from her she will lay
over it with her Body and hide it and then when they walk away she will let out a
little bark to get there attention and show them the treat and when they come to
get it she will hide it again with her Body she will do this several times until she
decides to take it under the couch and eat it why the other ones are looking under
the couch at her.
Red Girl had four beautiful puppies and she will only let Bella get close to them
Bella loves to watch the little puppies nurse on there momma one time red girl got
up to go outside to potty one of her babies was out on the floor by its self and
yelping Bella came running in to us barking and caring on we never saw her do
this before she wanted us to follow her so we went to see what she wanted it was
one of red girls puppies out on the floor we put the puppy back with the other
ones and Bella sit and watched them until there momma came back in Bella is
starting to be real good helping us watch the puppies.

Bella got her booster shot and two hours after that she was
having some trouble walking so we took her back to the Atchison animal clinic on
Monday she saw Peggy one of the vets Peggy give her a good check up and
recommended to take some x rays why we was waiting for the x rays everyone was
playing with Bella she was the center of attention about 20 minutes went by and the x
ray was ready Peggy called us to look at the x ray it was not good news Bella had two
of her vertebra's was out of place and it is damaging her spinal cord that controls her
back legs Peggy said she new a vet in Meridel that worked on animals that are
crippled or going to be crippled his name was Jeff van patten yes he is chucks brother
we took Bella Wednesday to see him he looked at the x ray and told us he could do
electrical acupuncture on her so he did that on Bella he said it could do some good or
it might not work at all and Bella will be paralyzed from her waist down eventually and
we should buy her a wheel chair for dogs so when we got home we got on the Internet
and ordered her one from HandicappedPets.com and she will have it Monday a big
thank you to Kelley for helping us out with the order and making sure that Bella has
the right one. Bella is still very active she just drags her little feet behind her and still
played with her toys we will be glad to get her wheelchair because there will be no
stopping her then. We did not think the acupuncture worked to good on Bella so we
are going to call and talk to Peggy to see if they can do surgery on back to keep her
from going paralyzed we do not know if surgery will be a option or not. Bella is only a
year and a half old and it breaks our heart to see her like that we have to do
something to help her so she can live a good life.

Update on Bella 10-31-2011
Well it is Halloween and we are getting Bella ready to go out trick or treating with our
grandson as you can see she is up walking pretty good we decided we are not going to
give her no more shots the medicine is just to strong for a small dog like her we
weighted her today with her outfit on and she weights 7 lbs and 2 oz we are going to
keep her weight around 7 to 9 lbs because of her sizes and bone structure Bella will be
two years old this December and yes we are planning a big Birthday party for her you
can see how easy it is to fall in love with French bulldogs they are so sweet. We did not
plan on owning the smallest French bulldog it just happen that way and now having her
for almost two years we would not have it any other way.

Bella Big Trip to Manhattan Kansas
|
May 2, 2011
Well allot has happen since we took Bella to Manhattan Kansas on 5-02-2011 and saw all the doctors there we
had a big flood hit us in this area messed up everything for over three months but we got to spend allot of time
with Bella we tried to get her to use her doggy wheel chair but she did not like it she wanted to walk like she use
to so we worked with her every day got her to stand up on her back legs and they got stronger every day and
then Bella was able to start walking again boy wasn't we glad of that I still think it was the booster shot she got
that caused all the trouble and the vet at Manhattan Kansas said that could happen. Bella is back being herself
she is having no trouble now getting around the house she is like speedy gondolas we take her to the farm to
visit her mom at my daughters place Mattie still remembers Bella as her baby and they play real good together.
Here is some pictures above of Manhattan Kansas where we took Bella and the pictures below is Bella with
Kaykay her half sister.

Here is a email I got on Bella Mon Nov 28, 2011
Hello I came across Bella online because we have a frenchie puppy which is extremely tiny as
well. He (Chibi) is now 14 weeks old and weighs a little over 5 pounds. How much did Bella weigh
at that age?
We love him to death but we are concerned because he is so much smaller than normal. His
brother was small as well but not as tiny as ours..

Hi, Ana
Thank you for your interest in Bella she is quite the girl that we love she weight 2oz at birth and
3lbs and 3oz at 9 weeks old at 8 months old she weighted a little over 8lbs and when she turned
1 year old she got up to 9lbs boy we was glad of that but we was concerned about her size she
was still very small and our vet said she is to heavy for her size we need to watch her weight but
that is easy said but hard to do with Bella what ever Bella wants Bella gets we waited until Bella
was over a year old to give her a booster shot and when Bella got her booster shot she got the
full dose and everything went down hill after that it was like a nightmare Bella was partial
paralyzed we had several vets look at Bella they all said the best place to take her was to
Manhattan to the vet hospital so we dis and we found out alot about Bella she was born with a
spinal damage but the expert vet told us that Bella had no trouble walking before she got her
shot and he thought the shot could of caused the problem with her walking and he said surgery
was out of the question he told us take her back home and keep giving her the best care we
could that would be the best medicine for Bella and he would recommend no more shots for her
so be very care full when you give your little fellow any shots, Bella will be two years old next
month and she weighs right at 8lbs she can walk real good.
we would love to see some pictures of your little fellow here is some pictures of Bella and 1/2
sister Kaykay the white one.
Thanks, Ed Gauger
