When my baby Jackson passed this spring I boxed up his food bowls, toys and bedding. His bed was something that still smelled of him and was really his favorite thing. He would curl up every night and snore away. I miss him so.
Today I decided to let Nacho have his bed. It was hard but I think he would have wanted him to have it.

Re: Passing the torch... (pic)
Rae, I am pretty sure that my boy Nacho is smart enough to realize what a great gift you just gave him. He looks pretty and proud sitting in Jackson's bed. I bet that was hard to do, but very sweet of you! ( and you know I LOVE Nacho ) now you can have a more tangible part of Jackson around and enjoy those memories with Nacho.

I BET HE SMELLS your other bully...
that is the magic of a used Bed..they smell BULLY like to Nacho. the chances of Nacho accepting a new bed are not guaranteed....
would be worse if he had turned up his nose at the bed..
MINE will NOT use the 100.00 donut bed I bought..georgous bed..
the pugs took it over..lol and that is worse..
believe me..
bought it just for Gus...NO way he is sleeping on that.....he stole the cats bed...hahahahaha
aww! That is the SWEETEST thing!
sniff, awww! sniff. I'm sure Jackson wouldn't mind letting Nacho use his bed. That picture just kills em! awwww....

Cathy
when she first came home
geeze Pat now I'm crying too!
that was one of the truest statements about bulldogs, they imprint on your mind and soul- perfect explanation!

Cathy
when she first came home
k, I will stop crying now lol...
your words ring true. I had such a bond with that boy. When you nurse someone from the bottom of the bottom and then lose them it's the hardest thing in the world.

That is so sweet!
I think you are right. Passing on special things is important.
Awwww....That's sweet
I don't think Jackson would mind. When Chief passed, I let the other dogs have his bed and all but a couple of his toys. I kept a couple of special toys and a blanket that belonged to him.

I have strong beliefs that things happen for a reason....
all dogs have a very strong emotional bond to us....if not something is wrong.
Nacho is there to help you through all that I am sure.....big time..
bullies have a way of.......doing that..
imprinting on the mind and MOST of all the soul..
I know how rough it is loosing a great pet..and friend..too. went through that will my boston and even when you post pics of YOUR BOSTON.can feel it tug at my heart too... still miss her lots too..
NOW can Nacho have the toys..lol
Nacho I am trying for you..
awe Pat, you're so sweet
Jackson was such a special part of my life, it still hurts that we had him for such a short time. Too short.

However he brought me to start volunteering with rescue, Nacho came to me because of him.
I think he is an angel looking down right now.

Geeeze do not need to cry...thanks...

very touching
and a great great pic again
I think you missed your call in life as a professional photographer..
I think it is great that you can give it to Nacho..
he is cute and a big part of your life now
and there to stay..so why NOT let him enjoy the bed too
I would do the same thing with the toys too..let Nacho
SHARE IN YOUR ENJOYMENT OF PAST MEMORIES...
that is very IMPORTANT...big shoes for that new man of your life to fill..
bully memories what makes them all soo neat.
LET Nacho create new MEMORIES..
enough MUSH Pat...Nacho just beg MOM for the toys..lol
I'm sure he wouldn't want his special bed going to waste!
My dogs LOVE those beds--and we have the EXACT same one!
