We lost our dear sweet Lily to the ravages of old age yesterday at 11:06 a.m. EST! She and her partner in bully crime, Chunk, were the God Bullies of Sandy and Mal from Down Under and loved all that distance away. She asked me to say, "G'Day, Mate", to you, Sandy. She was 12 years and 7 months old, which is an amazing life for a bully. Chunk was with us for ten years. So now, they are across the Rainbow Bridge, together again and forever, free of pain and all the earthly things that hindered them. Everywhere in the house, there is something to remind us of them. We had the best of times and loved each other unconditionally. Our scars will be huge but we will heal eventually. Just not tomorrow. Those of you who know us here on BDW should know that this is the first time in about 20 years we are bullyless. You always dread the day, but you know it will and must happen. So many of you have lost your babies and we deeply empathize with you, no matter how long ago it might have been. We will be taking time to grieve but then we'll be back. Those who don't, perhaps, know us; we hope to make your acquaintance in that not too distant future. I've got at least 12 years on this site and about a thousand surveys I've done, for those who are familiar with that endeavor of mine. It was fun, back in the day. For now, thank you for all your prayers and good wishes. They are so much appreciated at this sad, sad time. I'll probably be putting a tribute together soon, when my fingers don't feel like rubber anymore. God's peace!
Oh lordy Bill, I know there's nothing to say..
to make you fell better right now so I won't even try. I'm here, just like you were for me.

Lily was a special girl.
It is so hard when they pass but her age is a tribute to you. She wanted to stay with you as long as possible. Bulldog love is a special love and she will be in your heart forever. I hope that soon the memories of all your bulldogs will be sweet ones.
hugs
and LOVE to you both............

Bill & Sue, I am so very sorry......
my heart breaks reading this. I remember that day long ago in Florida when we all met at the dog park. There are no words I can say now that can help you with this loss; Chunk & Lily will always be sleeping in your hearts. I know how much you loved them both, these dogs become our world and when they're taken from us, the emptiness is overwhelming. Sending you much love from NJ.

Memories...............
When I lost my beloved Otie, I spent hours going through pictures and decided to pick my favorites and used Shutterfly to create a photo book. I found a lot of comfort in that, and I have the book on my coffee table. I can look at it whenever I need Otie to be with me. Sending prayers for comfort for you both.
so very sorry Bill and Sue
sending hugs... run free Lily with Sugar and Gracie

R.I.P Miss Lily.
I am so sorry for the lost of Lily. My prayers are with you both. We have all lost another sweet baby that has been with us for years. I haven't been on Like I should be. Bill I remember how fun BDW has been with you on here. Take some time but you can't leave Bulldogs world. I wish we could keep them forever but God only picks special people to look after his special Breed intill he calls them home. When I saw the rainbow and name this morning. I was praying it was not The Lily we all know in love. She will be missed. My heart is broken for you both. Lily now running free playing with Chuck and all the others that we have lost on Bulldogworld. I'm so sorry
