Another heartbreaking loss this week. Please send your love to Seun. He writes:
Heartbroken to announce that our beloved Sir Winston passed away yesterday after getting rushed to the ER last week & diagnosed with congenital heart failure, anemia and internal bleeding from a tumor. His blood levels dropped rapidly all week & none of the procedures & medications helped. Watching him deteriorate & struggle the last few days was unbearable & had to make the toughest decision to finally let him go. Still in shock but wanted to let everyone know & to thank those who have been reaching out to check on his progress. It’s still hard to understand how he’s gone that quickly. Will post in more detail later. Please hug your dogs. Love you Winston!
Today was my big day: my adoption day! I’ve been preparing for it all week.
I met my new dad, Seun, last week at the Bulldog Bonanza and it was love at first sight! My dad told me that I was just what he was looking for: a fabulous fella who could wear swag well.
My dad owns Duke & Winston (duke-winston.com), which sells collars, leashes, harnesses, T-shirts, socks and a lot of other items for both Bulldogs and people.
Do you see me in my new swag? It fits fabulously. I always felt like I was born to be a star and today just reaffirms the fact that I was.
I have a new fur brother now. His name is Max. I kept saying, “Max, stop photobombing and sit down.” Max was a clown. He knows how to sit; Max just chose not to.
I am sure excited about my new life and my new family. Rescue has been good. I met a lot of people and made lots of fur friends also. But this new life? It’s right up my alley. Lights, camera, action…. a star is born and that star is ME!
Wilson here! Now bring on the celebration! Today I joined rescue and tonight let’s light up the sky!
In May I turned a year old and I am quite the big puppy! I have never met a stranger. I love other dogs and kids and I know to stay off the furniture (most of the time). I might slip up ever now and then and try to get up there, but not often.
My family thought long and hard about this day. They loved me a lot! But after much thinking they knew I wanted and needed a lot more time and attention then I was getting. After all, this week my Mom is having a baby! Not that I don’t like babies—it was all the baby preparation, and the buying, the book of baby names. And there was the fact I did not get to lay in the baby bed! That was the deal breaker. After all I feel like I am still a baby myself.
So this morning I packed my backpack, got my 2 beds, and my toys and joined rescue! There were tears and hugs and some goodbyes but I am here to stay till I can find my forever family that all they want to do is play! Love Wilson.
