Finally came on today- first time since our loss..

and my heart is so broken to see that another bully has been taken. We lost our Baxter back in Decemeber to cancer in his esophagus. I wish I can say it gets easier but there are no words to the loss of him. I cry everyday. I just can't handle that he is no longer with us. I am so sorry for everyone that has lost a bully. It is so hard for other people to understand. I wish I had it in me to get another puppy to try and help ease this pain but I just can't bring myself to do it yet. I've wanted to come back and enjoy the boards, but it hurts so much that I'm not a part of this world anymore. I hope one day we all find some peace in these devestating losses and learn to cope, because we can never learn to move on.

You will ALWAYS be a part of this world because you have...

Loved and still love a Bulldog. That will never go away, but eventually the pain will ease. Then, when you are ready, open your heart to another, and watch that life bring you much happiness, joy, and many wonderful memories. 

We have to let them go, that is how it is. But while they are here, we love them with all our might. Now is your time to sorrow, but if you let your heart begin to heal, you will remember the good things with a smile rather than a tear, and your heart will be again ready to bring a life in to love:-)

(((hugs)))i know the loss b/c

(((hugs)))

i know the loss b/c i lost my archie 44 days today...we took him to get neutered and died unexpectedly

several hours later...only to be told by the vet through her written report that in hindsight she shouldn't

have operated on him b/c as they were trying to prepare him he was in a state of panic,his breathing was

labored and she should've called us to come pick him up....!!! when i read that report all i did was breakdown

having that horrible image how scared he musta been...!!!it has taken a great deal of control for me not

to go and do anything rash which would result in me being jailed for a long time...let's just leave it at that-

i loved archie like the child i wasn't blessed w/...he literally filled that void,i also got him a month after i separated so he was up for sale to be rehomed and i finally had my baby...we were inseparable...

taking baby steps to get another bully is not me replacing him-nothing ever will but it would really help brighten the light that dimmed inside of me....hope you find that peace and solace one day....speaking for myself i find myself smile and look  forward to coming in here and sharing everyone's pics and stories

and the comfort of everyone's words when the unthinkable happens...my heart has somewhat healed a lil bit

and i didn't think that would ever be possible.

We're not exclusive to owners - only lovers of the breed :)

You are part of us, you no matter what you try to do, you will be one of us - its like an infecton, but a good one :)  Sit and lurk if you want, drop us a note to let us know you are out there - partcipate in some of the photo request with some of your memories. They will all be appreciated and enjoyed :)

You will always be part of this world

You have loved and been loved by a bulldog. 

I lost my girl Stella two weeks ago today.  I miss her with every breath.

I hope you can find room in your heart for another bully love.  When I lost my first bulldog when he went to be neutered, I was in total shock.  Couldn't even think of getting another.  Then, my family got together and surprised me with Stella.  I wasn't really ready, frankly, but those big bully eyes just called to me that they needed me - and I was done for.

Hang in there!
