Arrival Story: We had been wanting to get a bulldog of our own because my husband's family already had one that was just the coolest dog. We walked into a pet store and saw him. He was pretty much the cutest puppy I had ever seen. We took him to a pen to play, and he just went nuts with playing tugga. We got my husband's mom to go to see him and she put a deposit down on him. My husband's dad (who he lived with at the time--we weren't married yet) had tried to talk him out of it because it was winter and pretty cold out to try potty training. I knew that Arthur already had a Hold sign on him, and I just couldn't bear knowing that other people would be looking over him because they thought he was already sold. And to think of him sitting there with the sign on his cage, and then us not coming for him. So I basically talked my husband into it--which wasn't too hard of course. So we went and got him.
I do want to say that I don't condone pet stores. And I don't want to help them continue to prosper, but at the time, we just went in, and saw that cute little face. And you know how the rest goes.
Bio: Likes to dance. His bed needs to be properly fluffed, or he just isn't happy. Likes animal toys that make noise--moo, ribbet, gobble, honk. He is purebred, but there must be some American bulldog in there somewhere, so we call him a Mutant bulldog, with love of course. His legs are longer than most bulldogs and his nose isn't so smushed, so he is very healthy and runs like a horse.
Feb.2007: Was just diagnosed with a heart condition, ventricular cardiomyopathy. But that won't stop this baby from being the best boy ever. Just all the more reason to give him all the hugs and kisses he can stand!
Feb.18, 2008: Arthur had a progression of his heart condition at the end of January. We found at that the his original cardiomyopathy problem (which apparently a problem with the lower chamber of his heart) has now progressed to include the upper chamber of this heart. Tonight, Arthur had been pretty much his normal self--dancing, wiggling, playful--but then suddenly went into a strange breathing pattern. He laid down on his bed and the breathing got deeper and farther in between breaths until he finally stopped breathing and passed away.

All my love to The Chicago Crew of Angels.
You will always be missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
Mom and Dad received an incredible gift today from Moxie and Gromit's daddy, James. He made a beautiful wooden board with my picture on it, plus my name and dates. Get this--it's a skate board! How cool is that??? Now I'm a skate boarding bulldog! It truly is a work of art, and Mom and Dad are so touched to have such a beautiful piece to hang in my memory. Please check out the pictures Mom posted for me. Mom can't wait to hang it up!
Today, February 21st, BBB Winston's Woofday! It's also a very special birthday because it's his first birthday since going to the Bridge. While I am very lucky and honored to have Winston at the Bridge with me to be my best friend, I know his family misses their Big Win terribly. We send them all our love and comforting hugs and I promise to give Winston the best Bridge pawty ever!
Winston, we will always love you and you are furever in our hearts.
As of today, it's been 1 year since I went to the Bridge. Mom still can't believe it's been a year. I believe that's because she holds me so close to her heart. I am very happy that in the last year, a deserving pup was able to be given a furever family. I'm so happy that my family found Damon, and that Damon found them.
Dad still says my name sometimes by accident when he's talking about Damon. Mom still has all my pictures up at work and smiles everytime she looks up at them. Though they miss me, they are able to talk about me without tears. Having Damon to love has been such a comfort to them and has made all the difference in the world.
Thank you everypup and pawrent who have taken such good care of my family. Words can't describe how appreciative we are. I miss my wonderful friends and family, but I am never far away and will always be watching over you.
