NAME: Tootsie and Dottie

BREED: French bulldogs

AGE: 6 and 2, respectively

SKILLS/TRICKS: being adorable

PEOPLE’S NAMES: Ellen Parrill and Linda Judd

The life of Ellen Parrill and Linda Judd has a soundtrack. It’s not Vivaldi or the Rolling Stones. The owners of two Frenchies, their soundtrack consists of snorts and wheezes. “They make all kinds of snorts, and they purr when you pet them,” Parrill says. “I never knew a dog could purr.” Bulldogs aren’t known for their tricks and talents so much as their companionship, and these two are a howl. Everywhere they go, they draw a crowd of admirers. Their favorite activity is looking for frogs on their walks. When they catch one, it gives them frothy mouth, but that doesn’t deter them from frog hunting. “Tootsie is all about love,” Parrill says. “She wants nothing more than to be next to you and get attention. She is the sweetest, most well-mannered dog.” Dottie is the adolescent, and she likes to chew things. She ruined a brand-new leather sofa, for example. But she’s finally starting to grow out of that, Parrill says. “The funniest thing to watch is when they wrestle and chase each other,” she says.

NAME: Barkley

BREED: shih tzu-poodle mix

AGE: 2

SKILLS/TRICKS: plays fetch

PEOPLE’S NAMES: Holli and Garrick Elrod

Barkley the shih tzu-poodle mix loves people. He visits neighbors on daily walks, he loves going to the groomer, and he often hangs out on the patio at Beckley BrewHouse and other dogfriendly spots. “He’s real social,” Holli Elrod says. “He’s one of those that’s not afraid of the vet or the groomer.” He’s a squirrel-chaser, a bird-stalker, and likes to chew on sticks. But Barkley doesn’t know or care that he’s a little guy, so he often drags around sticks and branches that are much bigger than him. One of his favorite indoor hobbies is barking at dogs on television, so he sits and watches the box until one appears. And when he’s ready for a walk, he takes his tags in his mouth and marches around the house. “It’s just a little neurotic,” Elrod says.
