Words can't even describe how I feel. I loved Baxter with every single thing I had. He truly was my life. Everything revolved around him. Unfortunatley he kept getting worse. The vomitting wouldn't stop, we went back to the vet last night for more shots and IV and they let me take him home. He vomited over 10 times through out the night and he was crying. He never, ever cries. We had to make the awful choice to let him go this morning. I feel so guilty because I did it, but he was suffering and couldn't hold down a tablespoon of food or water. We stayed with him the whole time and he had his favorite toy with him. My heart is so broken and I don't know how to get through this.

I am so sorry, my heart is just breaking for you guys. You did the right thing, and now he is no longer in pain or afraid, he is romping over the Rainbow Bridge with all the other bullies who have crossed.

I was SO hoping not to hear that. I'm just gutted for you. I think we all understand - those of us who have lost a precious bully - the power of your loss.
Please don't feel guilty. He couldn't go on the way he was and you gave him the ultimate gift of peace, and going to join all of our beloved stinkpots at the Rainbow Bridge with loving kisses from his humans (and his favorite toy).

We have been to the Bridge four times over the past 15 or so years. It is a terrible and tragic trip to have to take. But once there, your darling is free from all the worldly pain and suffering. Forever. As sad as it may seem, it is a blessing to let his spirit free and no longer endure the bounds of this earth. You are sad and cry because you are now alone, but all the wonderful memories now become treasures to be held in your heart and mind for all time. Baxter is with all the other bullies who have gone before, running, playing again, just like a puppy, with all new friends. And he's waiting for all of us to join him over the Bridge, in time, to be reunited. Our prayers are for God's peace, strength and comfort for you and your family.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Baxter. Please do not feel guilty about your decision to help him to the Bridge -- you made that decision out of love and compassion and he knows that. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

but you made the right decision in not letting your baby boy suffer any longer and he knows how much you loved him so please don't feel guilty. I had to make the same decision last year around this same time with my Ozzybear so unfortunately I can understand how you feel. The support of my bulldog friends really helped me a lot. So, if you ever need an ear to bend, we're all here for you.
Just remember Baxter will always be in your heart.

Sorry to hear that Baxter has passed. Know that you did what was right for Baxter. When Winnie was going through her cancer I read a statement that stuck with me: Whatever you decide it will not be the wrong decision. It is tough and the only thing I try to do is think about all the wonderful days our dogs had with us and think about the funny things they did. Try not to let yourself sit in the bad memories too long. When you are ready to read a short book try "Bill at Rainbow Bridge". It's about an English Bulldog who has passed and his owner. I will tell you I couldn't get through the book without crying, so you might want to give yourself time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my girl Scarlett last Friday. I know how hard it is. You woudn't want him to be sick and in pain. He knew how much you loved him. It is so hard to lose a bully. Your love for him will always be in your heart. My deepest sympathies in the loss of your baby. RIP sweet boy.
