Christie Swadling has hit back at fans after they called her out for not taking her dog Harley on walks.
The influencer shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday as she went for a walk and explained why she leaves her French Bulldog behind.
‘A lot of people get angry when I don’t walk with Harley. Just do some research on Frenchies before you slam,” Christie, 27, wrote.
‘If it’s too hot or my [walks are long] I won’t take her with me because she might die so stiff.’
She then explained that her fiancé Joel Price wakes up early every morning to take Harley on a walk.
‘It’s best to walk French bulldogs early before the heat comes. So I leave that to the human who naturally wakes up at 4:30 a.m.… her dad Joel,” she continued.

The post comes after Christie was roasted after announcing her pregnancy with Joel last month.
She shared a video on Instagram in which she placed red roses in front of a large glass sign that read “Baby Price, Due May 2025.”
‘Words cannot describe our happiness at this moment. Baby Prize due in May 2025,” she wrote in the caption.
However, some fans questioned the ‘bizarre’ video, saying it looked like the couple was announcing a loss.
“It looks like a gravestone,” one person wrote on social media.
“When I first saw it, I thought they were making an announcement [death]a second person commented.
‘Wtf is with the announcement? Looks like someone just died,” said another.
“I thought it was a loss announcement or something,” one person agreed.

In her post, Swadling explained that she was preparing to start her IVF journey when she took a pregnancy test.
“A day before we had an appointment with our doctor to start our IVF journey, I went to take another pregnancy test because I felt ALL the symptoms a pregnant woman knows,” she began.
‘And there I found a pre-positive test that I had taken a few weeks ago, but I was admitted after the many negative tests I had previously. I first saw one line and immediately put it back in the draw… after six more positive tests that evening, I was finally convinced that my dreams had come true.’
“Joel has been my biggest supporter throughout this journey and I have known since day 1 that he is who I do life with, I am so excited for this new chapter of our lives.”
‘It’s best to walk French bulldogs early before the heat comes. So I leave that to the human who naturally wakes up at 4:30 a.m.… her dad Joel,” she wrote.
The announcement came months after Price was served with a restraining order and charged with domestic violence.
Price, 38, was served with an interim arrest warrant (AVO) by NSW Police on Swadling’s behalf in April. He pleaded not guilty to the assault charge.
Ny Breaking Australia understands the matter was heard in court on August 6.
The pair started dating in 2020 before Price got down on one knee and proposed the following year.
