Maybull has gone to the Rainbow Bridge

Submitted by Stephanie and David on January 17, 2014 - 4:00pm

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

Early this morning, before dawn, our sweet bulldog Maybull passed away. She would have been 14-years old in 12 days. She was the best bulldog ever.

She was treated for congestive heart failure for the last six months, but seemed to be hanging on, enjoying special snacks and skritches.

Every night, before I went to bed, I would lie down beside her for a cuddle and I would tell her, “Maybull, I love you so much. I love you more than you could possibly imagine. Dogs are the best creatures in the world, bulldogs are the best dogs and you are the best bulldog.” Then, I’d ask her to stay with us just a little longer. Last night was the last time. I guess she couldn’t hold on any more.

Lately, she’d wake me up – sometimes she’d wake David up – at about 6:00 am, using her psychic bulldog powers, needing to go out. This morning, she woke me up again I thought, but by the time I got downstairs, she was already gone. She had been sleeping in one of her favorite spots and passed peacefully. Her love-filled heart finally gave out.

I woke David and we sat with her for a while. Then, we wrapped her in a sheet and later this morning, took her to the vet for cremation. There was one final goodbye.

When she was young, she’d walk the 2.5 miles around our neighborhood lake. She didn’t chew shoes or eat furniture. We kept the gate to our yard open, knowing she wouldn’t wander. She never wanted to get too far from either of us.

We look around and expect to see her right there, but there’s no Maybull. We miss her so much. She was the best girl in the world.

Very sorry to hear at Maybull!

I am sure the pain of your loss is tremendous right now. I hope it passes quickly while Maybull will forever be in your heart and thoughts.

Goodbye Sweet Maybull

If there is a way to pass peacefully, this is it and I wish every day that my french bully does the same. What amazing guardians you were to a very special bully. The emptiness is probably the hardest right now, but time really does heal. Sincerest condolences. Maybull will always be with you in spirit.

I am so very sorry for your loss

Your message made my heart hurt and made me smile at the same time.

What a lucky, lucky bulldog Maybull was to have parents who loved her so much. And how lucky you guys were to have her in your life for so long.

She was one of the first bullies I met on BDW way, waaaaaaaaaay back when. And her antics were always some of my favorite - she was the reason this site came to be, after all.

I hope she and Stella have found one another at the Bridge and are sharing tales of the old days over a bowl of prime rib.

RIP, Maybull. There'll never be another one like you!

I'm so sorry. Maybull will be greatly missed by everyone here.

Goodbye sweet girl. I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad she went peacefully. I know your pain; memories of Rebel passing are still very fresh and it's hard to believe it has been almost 2 months. I love how you asked her for more time every night; at the end it's always just one more day please. We'll be thinking of you. Hugs.

So, so sorry that sweet Maybull is gone....you and your
