Meet the Winery Family. Be part of the daily life at the "Villa Toscano Animal Farm". Hear all the funny stories...This is Lou Lou & Chanel Wright, our two French Bulldogs. The best girls in the world! Lou Lou is definitely the smarter one as you will see in many of the funny stories to follow…

They are the Wineries' mascots now.

 

 

Lou Lou and Chanel are taking a forced course in art appreciation.

They have noticed with great distaste the new bronze kids in the back yard. Lou Lou is the worst, she has tried and tried to scare them out of the back yard by barking and growling, but they just won’t move. Chanel the peace maker figures what the heck; they make good shade and never try to eat her food. Mommy still loves me best!

 

 

Lou Lou and Chanel are so embarrassed: It looks like they have like so many of us put on a few extra pounds over the winter. Now it is almost time to sit out around the swimming pool, strutting your stuff, and WHERE!! could all these rolls of fat come from???

So if you see them at the winery please be kind and tell them they look fantastic and ask them about how they have been working out to be in such good shape for the summer…

 

 

 

 

They sure grow big “Snakes” in the Shenandoah Valley!

Our two French Bulldogs Chanel and Lou Lou are trying to figure out all the mysteries of this big pond. True they both love all the lounge chairs and towels we bought just for them; they look at you like, “Try to move us.” But, my gosh, what a monster lurks in the bottom of this pond and we never even watched the movie “Dumb & Dumber.”

 

After Chanel was bitten twice last year by rattlesnakes, what could ever happen this year? Call the French Embassy!!!

A 50 foot snake, that swims to the surface only to spit water in your face (our pool sweep). To protect the whole family Chanel decided a sacrifice must be made!—She pushed Lou Lou into the pool to feed the monster. French Bulldogs swim like rocks and after Jerry pulled Lou Lou from the pool we decided we must have a dog rescue plan. Therefore I instructed Jerry he will be in charge of giving the dog’s mouth to mouth resuscitation; after all he is always full of hot air!

 

 

Meet Churchill, our 20 year old British Shorthair. He is very smart and loves his Daddy Jerry. He doesn’t talk much, but if he has something to say, you better watch out…

In his younger years he loved going boating. He would sit on the front of the boat and just enjoy the fresh sea breeze.

 

 

 

These are the two newest members of our family: Zahara & Napoleon. Both are British Shorthair just like their big brother Churchill. They came to us on Christmas Eve at the age of three months. The cutest and wildest little kitties you can imagine. They are just so much fun to watch. We never know what they’ll be doing next.
