I would like to hello and thanks to the following friends: Goobermom, Jakeisgreat, Jeannieco, Bella'Mom, GatorRay, Anatess, Sarah, BruceP, Savemejeebus and all any friends I may have missed.

I am so sorry for neglecting staying in contact with everyone here on the EBN for many months. A lot of events have happend here on my homefront since the passing of Winston capsized my life last year in July. Winston was a pillar in my life that brought incredibly fun, loving memories. The tansition that I went through was needless to say, tough. Last year, 2011 was one of the most challenging years in my life since at the beginning of the year, a friend of mine lost his life in an accident on New Year's Eve, Winston passing away in July on the day of my dad's birthday and me being hit by a drunk driver this last October.


With all of the bad that took place, I knew that at some point good is going to start happening. Well, because of friends like Cindy "Goobersmom," she has kept in contact with me and said last year that she is going to breed a couple of her cherished bullies and that when puppys are born, she is going to make sure I get one of her pups. Last December, Elliott was born along with a Brother and Sister. Elliott will be coming home to me when I drive from Jacksonville, Florida to Missouri to meet Cindy and baby Elliott in person for the first time. I am so excited as this event is materializing and the reality is starting to settle in!


Spiritual life, family and friends are definitely key when experiencing great trials and tribulations in life. Again, I am so thankful of everyone here on the EBN.


Your friend,
Mike Sutherland

Thank you so much [MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION]. I plan on being much more active here and feel bad for not staying in contact with everyone. I am very excited about Elliott and coming back to the EBN brings the excitement up for me a couple of thousand notches. :-)

Oh my .... what an awful year you had!! I truly believe that we come out stronger from experiences such as these even though they hurt so much at the time.

And now you have a bright shining star in the shape of a bulldog puppy to look forward to and to make your life whole again!

I am just SO happy for you!!

Hi Mike so glad to see you here!!! I'm really happy for you with Elliott. While he'll never be a replacement for Winston he'll fill a big hole in your heart. We're picking up a new EB puppy Gwynn on the 26th 27th like I told you. I can't wait. I hope your new baby will bring you as much love is Winston did. Glad you weren't hurt in that wreck, because that car yours was a mess. Congrats again don't be a stranger. :up:

Love that name "Elliott" - adorable. I also will be happy to watch Elliott grow up. I lost a soul mate pup too a couple years ago - and boy do I know that pain.
Glad your body and heart is healing.

All the best,
Vicki, Bea and Bo
