I met this cutie pie over the weekend. He was inquisitive, restless, impatient and totally adorable. But he would not stay still for a photo so his owner cradled him while I quickly snapped the photo. He was making a face because he was trying to sniff my camera.He is a little French Bulldog puppy, one of the most popular breeds in New York City because of its size and intelligence. According to the New York Magazine article on Ten City-Friendly Dogs, French Bulldogs are great for small apartments because it has a good balance temperament and is not too energetic.
In the same issue of the magazine, there was a calculation of how much it would cost to own a dog in New York City. The tally ranged from $5,099.94 to $52,699.19 per year. Granted, some of the expenses are a little outrageous but who else gives you unconditional love?
So how about that kiss? He is still waiting for one!

These little Bulldogs are very friendly, they usually like children and are very cuddly (hope this word is the right one?). But sorry, i don't kiss dogs, even this one!
oh... that's a lot of money!
Nice information and cute photo, Ming!
But I'll stroke him instead of kissing ;)
My neighbour's got 2. The male one, Monster, lives up to his name. And my dogs don't get along with him AT ALL! But I agree, adorable dogs.
Awww, he is so cute!

Some fascinating info about the costs of keeping a dog. But don't let that discourage you, Ming - as you know, you can't put a price on love ;-)
(PS Bad boy! You started a rumor on my blog...now it's spreading ;-)

Hi Ming. I'm glad that I bumped into this Charmer on my way through your Blog. I fully believe those figures....but for chap like him, he's worth every penny!!!
He's a cutie though my heart's been given to my two golden retrievers..I wouldn't want to know how much they'd cost in NY..

Wtill they remain small-size like this? This one looks so whitish...
aww
It might just be worth all that money for a lifetime of unconditional love.
How did I miss this little bundle? French bulldogs are adorable. In fact I've got one here right now - en pension, that is.
You must see one of my favourite blogs on Frenchies - he lives in New York too.
