Bulldogs World

I know exacly what you are going through. I just lost my Angus to cancer last week and I hurt everyday . Please believe me I know how you feel and am very sorry and I will pray that things will be ok for you.

She was a lucky doggie to have you to stay with her and care for her. They are very special beings. I hope that soon, you will think of her and have good memories that will only make you smile.

Prayers to you and your family.

will ease your pain but know that everyone here feels your pain. I will remember you in prayer and in my thoughts.

Sincerely,

Dave

Such a young one, very sad indeed. I can't says enough words to comfort you, just know that we are all here for you.

My heart breaks for you, as I know what this is like.  My Otie was 9 when he got very, very sick and was at the vet for 7 days as they tried to figure out what was wrong.  His blood counts were so messed up and finally the vet said if he didn't go in he would die.  They found a twisted spleen and it was necrotic and he took it out.  He came home but a month later something inside of him "exploded" and he was gone within a hour.  He actually died in my car on the way to the emergency vet.

I so totally understand your pain and heartache, and to lose your baby so young.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, and you are not alone, as most of us have been through what you have.  It helps to have those who understand.

My heart breaks for you. We all know what it feels like to lose one of our own. Please find solace knowing that she is now pain free and in peace running and playing over the rainbow bridge. Wishing time will heal your heart quickly.

I was fortunate to have much more time with my boy than you had with your sweet girl. I have to think that everyone and everything has their time to go in this world. Why do 2 year old children die at a young age...there are no answers to why the ones we love are taken from us, human or animal.
All I know is when Zimmer's heart stopped mine broke into a million pieces.

The last bit of love we can offer our beautiful bullies is a painless, peaceful passing. We also had to prove our undying love when we had our wonderful bully boy put to rest this past June.  My deepest sympathies to you.

Your loss of your baby girl is so devastating.  Ellie Mae knows that you did all you could and that you loved her to the moon and back.

When you feel up to it, please share some pictures and memories of your girl with us.  We are here for you.  

THANK YOU so much from the bottom of my heart!  Each comment has breathed a little bit of life back into me.  Thursday - Sunday were excruciating days for me.  I slept and wept each of those days. 

We rescued an English Bulldog, Brodie, back in July and he has helped me so much by absorbing my pain.  I feel when I hug him he is taking in my pain to help me heal if that makes sense.  He's a big guy and completely opposite of Ellie Mae.  They complimented each other so well.  When most people think of the English Bulldog breed they would think of Brodie.  Easy going, not a care in the world.  All he wants is his food and his belly rubs!  I was so excited when we got him.  It took him a little while to open up and know that he was in his forever home.  The only time you would see him hustle eould be to his food bowl!  However, after watching Ellie Mae run up and down the hall and chase her ball back and forth he decided he wanted to get in on the action.  She taught him how to play and to put a little pizazz in his life.  Even though they were only together for about 4 months she was a WONDERFUL big sister!!  I believe he senses the void too.  Perhaps, we are each other's saving grace and healing instrument. 

Ellie Mae was just the greatest.  I always swore I would never buy from a pet store because it just feeds the sad puppy mill cycle.  However, when I walked in after seeing the sign English Bulldogs for sale - I knew the minute I saw her eyes that she was mine.  It was like I could see her soul.  It was so special.  She had cherry eye and upper respiratory but I knew in my heart that I had to rescue her.  Patron after patron would walk in asking when she would be ready because they wanted a female so they could breed.  It made me sick and so I believe it was 2 days later she was home with me being nursed from her upper respiratory and being welcomed into our home.  She was sooooo smart.  She knew what I was saying.  Whether we were in the kitchen, and I would tell her to go get her ball and we would play.  To walking outside hearing me say go potty and she would go do her business.  To being soooo excited for her doggie daycare days!  So full of love!  So full of life!

My Aunt said she was my heart dog.  I had never heard that expression before but that's exactly what she was!  She knew me and I knew her!  Ohhhhh she'll be missed dearly & deeply!

Thank you for each of your posts!  They have meant the world to me and thank you for opening up and sharing your losses with me!  I know Heaven has gained some truly amazing bulldogs!!

As soon as I figure out how to upload photos from my phone I will photos of Ellie Mae!  

Once again Thank You for helping me through my healing process! 

Blessings,

Laurie

Words cannot describe how sad I am for you. I know the pain is unbearable. I lost my first bully also at 4 years 4 months. I hope in time your pain eases. RIP sweet bully girl.

So sorry,

So sorry for your loss.

Yes way to soon. Just know he will always be here and Never forgotten. I lost my blind Big boy when he had to have one eye remove. I miss him so much. Life was not good for him intill he went in Rescuse and I found him. I still blame myself because I took him in and promise everything would be o.k. Give Him a Big Hug and Kiss and told him Mommy would be waiting. The pain to this day is still very very hard. I am so sorry for your loss.
