You're joking right? Skeptical Batpig.
It's hard not to anthropomorphize with some of the expressions the batpig makes sometimes... Here he seems to be raising his eyebrows almost superciliously as if whatever (I) the photographer was doing was beyond absurd! To someone unaccustomed to the face of a Frenchie he might seem almost angry, but really it's just another day in the life of a smush-faced batpig!

Frog Dogs of the Past: 1912 Sunday Drive With Frenchie
Frenchies rise in popularity coincided with a lot of other changes, the proliferation of the automobile for one, so it's no surprise that someone would want to include their frog dog on their sunday drive. Artist Will Frefe captures this little guy perfectly!
French Bulldog Friends
I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing that French Bulldog Friends, a community for French Bulldog lovers, existed! In addition to being chock full of adorable pictures and videos of Frenchies in various states, it's also a great resource for any information current or prospective French Bulldog owners might need (rescues, health info, breeders etc.). It's very user-friendly, so user-friendly, in fact that I now have a little batpig slideshow to share with you all!! Enjoy!
X-Treme Frenchie Clothes
All of this, as you might have guessed, is a prelude to why I wish I had these coveralls by Alpha Icon on hand (yes, they are based in Japan). I found it via a blog by @earth_log Ro Immediately Tomorrow (again, the translation isn't great, but I like imagining what "uplifying syrup" could be).
As fun as it can be to see the batpig in various states of dress, I try to spare him the hassel of wearing "faux-fur" when it's not necessary, but this is incredibly well-designed and made with utility in mind! The batpig may have his own fur to keep him warm, but sometimes it's just no match for the New England weather!
I'm pretty sure the Google Translation into English doesn't do the product justice:
Playing in the snow from your walk everyday, very active in various scenes from wading in the river and the sea.The evolution does not feel comfortable, stress pro-piece is perfect for the dog act.
Translation aside, the graphics and "specs" sections say enough to convince me that this is yet another item going on my "we need to start importing frenchie stuff from Japan stat" list! I'm pretty sure the batpig will thank me!

Honey Badger Don't Give a Sh*t!
via theatlantic.com
Honey badger don't care!
"You do all the work honey badger and we'll just swoop in and eat what you leave behind." I almost just wet myself watching this! Just when you think it's gone on too long it just keeps getting funnier!
Just in Case You Didn't Already Want to Move Your Frenchie To Japan
The onesie photo slays me! It actually might be lethally cute at high enough doses! After seeing these the batpig and I are officially on a mission to bring speech bubble captioning back to the states! Also the word Psyche! but I digress...
All You Need Is Dogs
From yet another talented artist on etsy, this piece by Boston artist Jillian Evelyn will certainly resonate with dog-lovers everywhere!
