RIP Mick, hope you are at peace now.

The Rainbow Bridge:

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.'

It must have been a terribly difficult decision for you. My thoughts are with you.

I know this was a very difficult decision

I am so sorry for your family and Mick.  I hope that Mick's little soul is at peace.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. 

You must be heartbroken. I know exactly how you feel, I have been there myself with a little female bully I had to put down at one year of age. She had the same problem, it was so sad to watch that beautiful little girl be enraged and attack the other dogs, our worst fear was she would go after our small grand daughter and we made that hard decision to let her go.

My heart breaks for you guys, so sorry...

We also had to euthanize a dog for behavioral problems. It was devastating. Looking at a beautiful healthy young dog and knowing how dangerous he was, just didn't make any sense to me.

I am so sorry you and your husband had to go through this.

I could rant about the Amish for hours. You learned a tough lesson. Hopefully, your experience will prevent another family from purchasing from their mills.

What a heartwretching decision you had to make.  My heart is with you!

sometimes there just are no answers.........

Mick looked like a sweetheart. I know all too well about the Amish, as here in rescue we've had many come through.  My foster boy I have now is from the Amish, he has the sweetest personality but he came with a multitude of skin issues.  It's been 5 months & we're just getting them under control.

Most of the dogs we've had from the Amish had very good termperments but were medical train wrecks.  They are horrible people, no matter what anyone tries to say. The one farmer we "deal" with will call when he's done breeding his female & we have to move fast or he'll threaten to shoot her.  One told us that he tried to kill one of his females by dropping wood pallets on her but "she scurried away too fast so come get her out of here".  They are not pets to these people, they are livestock.  They keep them in barns or cages, never in their homes, no matter what the temperature or weather conditions.

Unitl the laws are changed, we're fighting a losing battle. I'm sorry you had to make this decsion with your boy, a hard lesson learned and a heartbreaking one at that.  We try very hard to educate the public on the breed and stress the importance of purchasing from a responsible breeder - even then there are no guarantees but you can least know the genetic history of your bulldog.  And always consider rescue, there are so many unwanted bulldogs looking for homes. Again, people don't do their research, buy from bad places & then can't afford the medical bills.

Sending many prayers to you & your family & I'm sure Mick is at peace now, playing happily at the Rainbow Bridge.
