Lost my old friend today, “Bubba” Mac Daddy. He was an awesome family pet and he was always laying at my feet when I would write my inspection reports. Monday’s report will not be the same without my sidekick. RIP “old man”
(Tonight will be a Silent Night. Anyone that has ever owned an english bulldog, knows what I mean.)
Robert I am sorry for your loss buddy. I have a full lab that sits with me as well and it was hard to loose the last lab I had. Hope you still have a Merry Christmas.
That sucks. Tears were running down my face when I was washing my last Lab after she died in my arms Go get another “NOW” as it is damn near impossible to be sad with a puppy around. If you want to try another breed try a Lab they are amazing, I recommend females.
LOL Dave! He was about 10 in the picture and he lived to be 12. Actually, I picked him up exacly 12 years ago today. He was a Christmas gift to the family on Christmas morning (it’s not easy hiding a puppy for 3 days!) I do have another little guy (french bulldog that also lays in the room while I’m doing the reports). The picture below is Bubba giving the “new kid” a little wisdom.
My wife said within a couple of hours after I left for the vet, she found the young one curled up in the older dog’s bed. Seems like he knows. We may need to get him a buddy down the road but not too soon.
So sorry to hear. As you can tell from my avatar, the bond between man and dog is tough to match. Unfortunately, the unconditional love they give you creates an almost unbearable pain when they are gone.
Sorry to hear of your loss. I’ve lost two best friends over the years. I’d like to share this poem I found on the web. Couldn’t find who the author was but it seems to fit the moment.
Your Canine Guardian Angel
I know that you must miss me,
By the tears rolling down your face.
But believe me when I tell you that,
I’m in a very good place.
There are meadows here to run in,
And plenty of rabbits to chase.
There are other dogs to play with,
To frolick with and race.
So please don’t worry about me,
My spirit feels light as can be.
There’s no more pain to plague me,
I’m young again and free.
And I’ll be watching over you still,
of that you can be sure.
I’m your canine guardian angel,
And my love for you remains pure.
Robert, so sorry to hear of your loss. My parents had many generations of English bulldogs as part of the family for over 70 years.The love and joy that they brought to our family far outweighed the high maintenance that they required.
You might need to teach the Frenchie to raise the volume of its snorts, grunts, and snores to proper English levels.
