My heart hurts in a way I can’t put words to.... I send you tons of love and hugs ... Vegas was the most loved he could have ever had, he hit the jackpot in the parent world, you hit the jackpot with having such a special boy and we all hit the jackpot because you shared him with us.

Always in our hearts...

@Libra926 Cheryl, as I posted, I am truly sorry, and we will miss him. He has left a legacy of love and teaching others who have problems similar to his. On one happy note, whenever I see photos of Vegas,when he is enjoying life, I see his beauty and him loving his life, and he made, and still makes me smile,and HIS:yes: smile was all thanks to you and your family.:love:

I'm so very sorry for your loss. He was truly loved here as well. I'm sure my Usko was there to greet him.

Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your Vegas was an outstanding bulldog, but even more outstanding were you and your family who fought so fiercely his disease and gave him the best possible life and family any dog can hope for. He lived a happy and long life. God bless your heart!

I don't know how I didn't see this until now :( Nothing I can say will numb the pain, that I know. Try to take comfort in the fact that you loved him while his wings were getting ready to fly. You gave him the very best life. His legacy will live on because by you sharing his story, he has helped and will continue to help everyone who comes here.

It's been over 7 months since we lost Vegas... I can't believe how time has flown by! I see photos of him every day when they pop up as memories on FB. Mostly I smile and reshare them. Today I just hurt. I miss how he felt in my arms. I miss the way he fit in my lap. I miss him dragging his extremely large paws over the tile floor. I miss him begging for bananas, tomatoes and cheese. He's everywhere in the house and he's nowhere. If that makes sense. I've only had two dreams of him, only two. For someone who loved him more than life itself, this hurts.

I was sitting on the floor and he was so excited. He wiggled his butt and he jumped his little excited jump. His front feet barely coming off the ground but he did that a few times before he crawled into my lap. "Are you real?" "Is this real?" I cried out. He turned his face to mine and then he was gone.

The second one was months later. We have a 90 degree turn on our stairs and he would often hang out on those two triangle steps that created the 90 degree turn. He's even had one of his last seizures on those steps. He was facing the wall and he was digging into the carpet on the first of the 90 steps. I came up the stairs behind him and I poked him on the butt cheek. That startled him and he bolted up the rest of the stairs. Then he was gone.



I miss him so very much. I know so many of you know my pain. Today is a day that I just miss him so very much. I have so many videos and photos of him.. I could go on and on and on. These are from his last month. Rest in peace sweet boy.

I'm irritated that the photos loaded sidewise. I don't have the energy to turn them.

I'm at the big computer... where all 11 years of photos and videos are. My heart hurts and I just can't pull it together. So many happy memories. But at the same time, so much pain. Love you too, Christine. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I wish we lived closer.

Me too.... 3000 miles makes for a really long distance hug.
