I adopted Buster on August 3, 2012. Last Saturday, on Aug. 15, he celebrated his 12th birthday. The picture I attached was taken on his 12th birthday. My sweet, beautiful Buster passed in his sleep Aug. 20.
I’ve had four Bulldogs, going back to 1988 and adopted Brixie and Buster through Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue. I’ve loved all of them with all my heart, but Buster was special. He hadn’t had a good life before I adopted him. But it didn’t matter. His beautiful heart loved unconditionally anyway. I recently spent two years in bed dealing with medical issues. When I wasn’t in the hospital, Buster was right beside me in bed the whole time. I wouldn’t have made it through that difficult time without his constant companionship. He saved my life.
It was a joy being Buster’s for seven years and 17 days. My heart is broken and my home is empty now. But Buster, and my previous Bulldogs, will always be with me.
I miss you so much it hurts and I love you with all my broken heart, Buster.
Lone Star Bulldog Club and Bulldog Rescue are in compliance with and support the Texas Health and Safety Code chapter 828 .002; which states EVERY dog rescued under our umbrella, either from a shelter, Rescue Society or private sources, will be spayed or neutered. Bulldogs are typically affectionate and friendly, and the Network will not knowingly place a dog with an unsound temperament. However, no one can predict how any dog will react in a given situation without complete knowledge of its life experiences before its rescue. Therefore, adopters are strongly urged to exercise prudence and caution in introducing an adopted Bulldog into a new situation until the dog has become fully adjusted to its new environment and the adopter has had an opportunity to become familiar with the dog’s unique personality. Lone Star Bulldog Club and Bulldog Rescue Network make no claims, representations, or warranties regarding the temperament, behavior, or future health of any rescued Bulldog.
