Meet Belle...

As if buying a house and car wasn't enough, we thought we'd top it off with buying a dog. I've wanted a French Bulldog for a while now but they're not the easiest dogs to get your hands on. I read some where that there are only 1,500 French Bulldogs born every year in the UK and the price reflects that... but how could you possibly put a price on this little face? >>>>>

She was born only a week ago in North Wales and next week, once she's opened her eyes, Karl and I will make the trip to go and meet her.

We're pretty set on the name 'Belle', wanted something pretty and french so Belle seemed fitting. I'd always wanted to call my french bulldog 'Napoleon' and put bow-ties on him and dress him in bomber jackets but i couldn't possibly to do that to this lovely lady...

We're not allowed to take home until early December which gives us plenty of time to read all the forums and watch youtube clips on puppy training. Didn't take us long to find out that apparently french bulldogs have a pretty intense flatulence problem so that'll be fun...

Killarney

Just back from the Irish Poker Festival in Killarney. Shame the weather wasn't as nice as it was over in England but we didn't let that dampen our spirits and although I rather be playing instead of working, we all had a great time. Obviously I'm bias but there is no atmosphere quite like one at a Ladbrokes Poker Tournament and I hope everyone who went agrees. As mentioned previously my role in Killarney was to look after the blog and video crew. You can find the blog here, all the videos here. Below are two of my favourite videos from the trip...

A few people asked for me to send them photos, the photos i took weren't the best quality as I wanted to avoid using flash and only required low res pics for the blog. However, I'm still happy to send them to people if they see some on the blog and would like a copy.
