…As most of you know, I work at ABC in reality. Sometimes, we get strongly worded letters from “concerned” people and parents in response to something that aired.  “Inappropriate for children,” “against family values,” or “teaching the wrong lesson” are some phrases that come to mind.  And it’s not that the network doesn’t take these letters seriously, it’s just that often times they are sent to the wrong person. Eventually, they trickle down and wind up on the right desk. I catch myself wondering, who are these people?  They take so much time to write and/or type a long, well thought-out letter to someone they don’t know.  They are REALLY fired up.  Well, let me tell you…

I get it now.

I’ve had more people come up to me in the last two days and ask me if Bruley can swim like Stella on Modern Family. This is IRRESPONSIBLE.  This is TEACHING THE WRONG LESSON.  This is an OUTRAGE!  French bulldogs can’t swim. They have no boyancy.  Their bodies aren’t built for water.

I am a sad panda. I’m so worried people are going to think Frenchies can swim. I close my eyes and see Frenchies all across America flailing around, splashing, and drowning. I want to write a strongly worded letter…and march across the hall… and hand deliver it?

Please. Spread the word. Consider this a PSA. Frenchies are our friends.  Please use any and all safety precautions when around any body of water larger than a bathtub. (Even still!)

Bruley says thanks!

What she said - Frenchies don’t float and while I do appreciate that in the end they were demonstrating how SMART Frenchies are - never leave one near a pool unattended.
