Saying goodbye …

About a month ago, we lost our beloved bulldog, Elvis. He was approaching his 11th birthday and had been with me for nine years.

At two, he was a champion show dog (Ch. Acme’s Little Elvis) who’s owner/breeder/handler wanted to retire him and find him a good home because he had high anxiety in the ring. I went to a bulldog specialty show in southern Indiana to see if anyone knew of any puppies for sale and, as fate would have it, the first lady I asked said she didn’t have any puppies, but this beautiful two-year-old. He wasn’t with her, so she e-mailed me a photo the next week. As soon as I saw his squished little face, I knew he meant to be with me.

I know people always say that their dog is the best, but he really was. He never met a stranger and everyone who met him loved him.

These are some of the very last pictures I took of my sweet little boy.

We miss him so much. Rest in peace, little Elvis.

Aw Tricia! I’m so sorry to hear that! Sorry I’ve been out of touch but I think about you guys and have been wondering how he was doing. :( You’re in my thoughts!
