Flageole: All in my head, sometimes I like to share funny things that she does or her « mistake of the day » are really a hit too. Even if she’s destroying things we make the best of it lol. Cute video of her and her cat brother are an everyday things almost as they are always all over each other.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Flageole: It’s really rare! It think we had one or two negative comment but usually we ignored it. The big majority of our audience is really positive and uplifting.

Flageole: Do it and have fun with it! Even if it doesn’t become a big hit people love to follow dog accounts and it gives you an album of your dog in bonus for lifetime memories 💞
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Flageole: Our life is so much better since Fira joined the family back in 2021 already 2 years of pure happiness. She is our little sunshine and we like to say that she is a happy ball of energy but also a couch potato at times. The perfect balance.
Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
Flageole: One time we were at the beach and thought it would be better to take pictures of her without her leash. The things we didn’t tough about is that Fira is obsessed with water and dog friends. Of course there was dogs and water on the beach so we had to run after her for about 15 minutes until she finally listen and came back with us. We learned from or mistake that day😂
