Let them eat…dog biscuits?
Tyree July 17th, 2008
For the past 19 years, the normally very Southern California beach town of Santa Barbara becomes ‘French for a weekend’ in honor of Bastille Day, the French national holiday celebrated on July 14. This year was no exception as over 20,000 visitors and locals stormed the streets of Santa Barbara, which sported a mock Eiffel Tower and a guillotine alongside street vendors and sidewalk café tables. The culmination of the event, however, was the fabulous Poodle Parade, a promenade of France’s most beloved canine
—er, wait a minute, poodles? Where are the French bulldogs??
Why, at the head of the parade of course. In true Frenchie fashion, K-Kid Kirby and his foster sister Beans, not only crashed the party but made sure they were the front-and-center of all the attention. All who caught sight of them were smitten by their wily charms, including French chef, Emmanuelle, who had the two video-taped for an upcoming TV show!
Kirby has boarded the French Bulldog Bus and he is looking for a new home, so if you are thinking of adding that perfect Frenchie ambassador to your life, then you may want to head on over to the French Bulldog Village website and put in an 
application for Kirby or any of the other wonderful dogs available to the right homes.
If you would like to meet the inimitable Kirby, then come join the French Bulldog Village at the Pooch Parade being held this Sunday, July 20 at the San Buenaventura State Beach Park in Ventura.
Vive le Frenchie!
