I think I saw the age of the Frenchie as 12 wks old. But still, I suppose my pups at 8wks know come, and sit. Are almost house trained. But do not ring the bell, or crawl on command, or shake paws. I hear from here she has some sort of unsavory history. But here is what I liked that I saw and heard.


Cushioning and a non-slip surface for the pup to be on. The lilt of her voice. The reward based training.


I do hope she is not over-training. Short 2-5 minute sessions several times per day is okay. Combined with walks and other things. All very short even for a 3month old toy breed.


In summary I guess she must have lots of time to do these things, as well as someone who knows how to video and edit the stuff.

So Cess could not afforded eye surgery or anything but then suddenly could by an expensive French bull dog hmmmm wonder how she did that? Oh wait she had a fun raiser for her "eyes" mmmhmm enough said.

It's the history of it all that strikes a nerve with us all.

Lilo's ER bill was more than paid for by donations. She said she couldn't pay for it bc she was a poor college student.

Two months later she gets a new yorkie puppy Misa. How did she pay for her?

Then she claims she is going blind and sells t shirts with a cartoon pic of Misa on it. She rakes in almost $16,000.

I guess her surgery wasn't that expensive bc now she bought a Frenchie. Oh yeah, but not before getting rid of two "fosters", which she claims she had to get rid of bc of her eyes.

Those poor pups is all I can say....is there no end? Frenchis do not come cheep....and this ine is tiny as well?
I have no words....

I was looking at the list of dog videos on YouTube this morning after viewing my friend's dog video. The video of Brody had 568,000 views yesterday, and today it has almost 992,000 views. Among the articles written about Brody's first video is one written in the UK, so Cess gets a lot of press. If these babies lead happy, well taken care of lives with love, protection, exercise, playtime, and proper nutrition, I wouldn't care. But it's the history that scares me, the repetitive buying of tinies, the manipulation of people, attention seeking behavior, and the videos of Misa that look so sad that upsets me deeply. I don't know for sure about anything other than the history, since that's laid out in black and white on YT in Cess' own words, and I like to always give people the benefit of the doubt. But all of these things together unnerve me and have me worried about those pups. I can't say those pups aren't loved, but still I worry. Cess certainly enjoys the attention due to all the build up about Brody on her site. Instead of showcasing my talents on YouTube and all of that intense training, I'd want to spend the time just loving my pup and making him/her feel safe and protected in his brand new home, but some training is good, I guess, because it creates a bond.

I hate to be condemning Cess without really knowing all of the facts, and I'm not sure it's right posting this. The truth is the only thing I know for sure is the history of losing so many pups in a short period of time and about the donations for Lilo and Cess' eyes. The rest is just a very sad feeling I have about these pups who deserve to be loved, treated like gold, given lots of attention, playtime, exercise, great nutrition, and protection. If all of those needs are met ( and not just the basic needs), I wish her well, even if she is making money, as long as that is not their purpose in her life. I just can't get rid of this horrible feeling I have every time I see Lilo's sad looking eyes. Katie gives me eyes like that when she is having a bath, but when we play, train, or just interact, I see the most beautiful sparkle in Katie's eyes, and there's no hiding that she is a deeply loved and happy little girl.
