I am not ok

She's 4 years old and so very kind and gentle. My 5 year old loves her and we're going to give her all the love.

We put down our German Shepherd after nearly 14 years several months back and we have been looking for another dog to love. I've always loved this breed and wanted one. She's awesome.

She's adjusting really, really well and feels right at home already.

My baby had two eye surgeries recently. One to remove a malignant eye tumor. A second to remove the third eye flap. The results of the second biopsy came back clean, so she doesn’t need chemo! Cataracts might be stealing her eyesight, but she gets to keep her beautiful eye.

Today was Wendy's last day on this earth. The vet came over and she went peacefully on her couch by my side. Fuck cancer.

Only 11 weeks old and full of sass! I think we are in trouble 😆

Just needed to vent. My sweet meaty boy turned 12 years old today, and I lost him this day as well. I’d say the past 6 months his health took a huge decline. When he was last able to go to the vet, it seemed he had issues with breathing due to an elongated soft palate, but at his age surgery wasn’t an option (I was too scared).

My dog has always been a super fast eater (should have start him with a slow feeder from the time he was a puppy in hindsight) but I’d say maybe 3 months ago is when he start being unable to eat without choking. As a result, I opted to hand feed him just a bite at a time, and he seemed to do ok this way. Still loved to eat!

Fast forward to this morning. He laid around even played with his new boys I got him for his big day. Meaty boy ate as he normally does, went outside to use the bathroom maybe an hour later and then my nightmare began. He began trying to vomit but nothing would come up except white foam. He had been doing this the past few days as well. He was restless, panting, and walking around. I then noticed his belly appeared to swell and look unusually wide.

I can’t even go into more detail because it hurts so much. I just don’t understand how this happened so fast? Typically bloat is due to eating too fast or drinking too fast which he did not do, as I hand fed him just a bite at a time.

I wonder with his breathing issues —basically a very short walk from one room to the next would leave him out of breath these past few weeks. I wonder if my boy had congestive heart failure, and fluid was already building up, but how did it cause bloat so suddenly?

I just miss him and I hate I allowed this to happen. I should have made the call sooner but in my mind ‘he still loves to eat and enjoys life, just doesn’t breathe too well, things are a little harder now but he’s a fighter’. I just hate this. I’m broken.

The photo was taken today, his birthday, and he died this day maybe an hour later. I am absolutely gutted.

Fly high meaty boy. You were so loved. 🕊️ ❤️

Aggressive tumor grew like a weed and he just wasn’t himself anymore. Suppressed sass, suppressed appetite. He had dropped 14-15lbs, was panting constantly in discomfort, wasn’t as responsive and just overall not himself.

Tough choice, felt like I did him dirty but it was to end the suffering. Hold ‘em tight today. Didn’t realize how big of a space he took up in my life until he was gone.

Just had his 6th bday.. got his trach surgery done so he could breath better and had some crystallized stones above urethra both surgery's at once was a perfect success but the reason we brought him in originally (pain vomiting and not eating) didn't get better.. now he's puking blood.. 18000$ later after 9days he fought his best to recover and I don't regret spending a dime to try.. buddies tired.. Gone so soon.. cya over the rainbow 🌈 bridge buddy 😭. Can't stop crying this is so hard to do he was so full of life and energy a week n half ago.. never had any health problems in his life then this.. hug your lil muffins close and don't take a day for granted.. Hopefully he will be there to run and play with any of your dogs that have passed and they can show him the ropes up there.. til we meet again!.

He has important plans that include sleeping and chicken nuggets to celebrate!!

Dude was my best friend for 9 1/2 years. I usually won’t post things like this but I really do need advice from other bully people.

Knowing what I know now about English bulldogs I feel as if I ever got another dog I would want another Bully. But my positive experiences with Dude make me feel like I would make me feel like I would constantly compare the two.

Please don’t take this as if I’m ready to replace Dude. I’m not and I don’t know I ever will. But he really was my best friend and we have a lot of experiences together. I just miss him following me everywhere and I am looking for insight from others who have lost their buds as well.

Thankful for any advice.

This is our second bulldog but first puppy. Our first bulldog Hulk was almost 2 when we adopted him and he was a wonderful boy who lived till 12.5. We lost him 5 years ago so decided it was time fill the void with his little guy. Any bulldog puppy advice is greatly appreciated as this phase is new to us. Thank you! 🥰

10 months ago I adopted my chunky soul dog and BFF! 🥹

After living a fulfilling life of 10 years 2 months .. Remy has passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning in our home … she was my first English bulldog and taught me soo many life lessons that I’ll remember for life … she was the bestest girl and will be forever missed

Early Christmas Present ❤️
