guys, would you like to hear about the drama going on in the upper east side french bulldog community?

We take Nacho to a nearby dog park, where meetups are held for Frenchies once a week for one hour. It's honestly amazing, and everyone always has a great time.

The meetups are organized by a Frenchy owner, who takes the time to do all this herself.

She has an Instagram where she posts meeting dates/times and lets us know if it's too hot or whatever. She also posts photos from the recent meetups, announces when there's a birthday etc.

It's great and there's usually 15 to 20 French bulldogs each Sunday morning at the park.

But, like, the meetups are friendly and the dogs are great and there are also non-Frenchies there too! It's just a fun way to get the dogs together.

ANNNYWAY, apparently, this infuriated someone who owns a non-Frenchy and launched a STOP THE MEETUPS account.

You must read some of these posts.

"Every week, the small dog run in Carl schurz park is subjected to 30+ frenchies (plus owners) during high traffic times. The dogs are all over the 25lb limit for the run, and other breeds are not able to use it, which is against NYC Parks rules!" one post reads.

"Dogs from all over the city, including Chelsea, Brooklyn, even as far as NJ, are regularly invited to and coming to these meetups. The run is too small for this!"

They're mad non-UES dogs are at the park..... I .... what>?>>

They also call Frenchies "hyperactive," leading me to believe they have never met a Frenchie

They posted this photo from a few months back. This is not an overcrowded park.

And, again, I must emphasize this is for only ONE HOUR ONE DAY A WEEK and they're sometimes every other week. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzHqNMrFTq/

They're also being so mean to the person who runs the real meetup account:
"The owner of the frenchies of UES account is rude and looks down on other breeds of dogs that are in there. Some have said that she 'holds court and acts very holier than thou.'"

I've never seen this person be rude or dismissive of a different breed! This is such a wild amount of energy to devote to people who just want to meet up once a week!

Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting the meetup host's response. This is so silly.

I will update you all once the drama advances.

After reading all that, here’s a treat: A video of Nacho with his friends at a meet up. Notice the other dog breeds having fun! https://t.co/564cbQyCEG

I’m glad you all found this as entertaining as I did. Now I’m gonna cuddle with this “hyperactive” “more than 25lbs” menace. https://t.co/8AfS3H5P51

I think this goes without saying but

*please don’t message, bully or antagonize the owner of the move the meetup account!!!!*

The best part of this thread has been getting to see everyone’s Frenchies!!!! Please keep the photos coming! https://t.co/EHWGkccWhD

Is it cool with you all if I just update this thread periodically with Nacho pictures and video? Here’s him trying to *checks notes* … eat the rain? https://t.co/3UaZJGh0xe

Guys, I wrote about, uh, all this. https://twitter.com/KalhanR/status/1549846110201696259

Lol update: a copycat account is claiming they’re going to hold a protest on Saturday at the park and that they’re “entering into talks” with the NYC dept. of parks to get the meetings shut down???? https://t.co/8fsRwSTxPb
