My Mom really likes ice cream. So, my Dad searched online for some dog-friendly ice cream shops. To our suprise, he found one that not only allows dogs, but makes ice cream for dogs. The shop is called Fell+Cole, and it is located in Hongdae. You can imagine how exciting that was for me.

My Favorite Activity: Soccer

IMG_6210

Being a Frenchie, I definitely have that French Bulldog stubbornness. I understand all of my mom and dad’s commands, but if I don’t feel like it, I’ll pretend like I didn’t hear them. But there are two ways to make me do what ever mom and dad ask: 1. be holding my favorite treat; or 2. be holding my soccer ball.

IMG_5965

After a cold winter, our walks take longer, because there are so many things to see and smell (mostly smell). And there are a lot more people out on the street who stop to pet me or tell me how cute I am.

There are two small mountains within walking distance of our apartment.  Seoul is nice that way; it is a huge urban metropolis, but there are plenty of nice parks, mountains, etc. all around.

My dad recently returned from a trip to his home town, NYC.  He got me two hoodies, which are perfect for early spring.  This is the first one.  Here are some pics from when dad and I went to Dogok Park, one of the mountains near our apartment.

Fabulous Feather Boa at Cafe Inu (카페 이누)

IMG_0321

Whenever my mom and dad go to Hongdae in Seoul, they like to go to Cafe Inu for a salad, sandwich, and coffee because they allow dogs.  Unfortunately, I need to stay in a doggie high chair, but I suppose it’s better than not being allowed in at all.

Here I am in the high chair wearing my velvet coat with a white, sparkly tutu and my feather boa.
