I got her as a gift from my grandparents as the had one I fell in love with. The now wife had not moved in with me yet 7 years ago and I needed a companion. Our now 7 year old English Bulldog had a bad allergic reaction a week ago Sunday. Rushed her to the animal hospital for Benadryl injection and a sedative. She quieted down after 45 min at home. Checked her tongue, it was pink. Five min later it was blue. Nearest emergency vet was 25 min. She died in my lap in the car. We had adopted a stray cat 8 months ago. Having another animal friend in the house has helped, but the wife and I sat on the couch for 20 min tonight teary eyed. It just hard. She was my Boo Bear. Be there for your friends, folks. They deserve it, we don’t deserve them. I have not posted anywhere else, I just know you folks on here appreciate good animal friends.
