Well I wanted to write a little something explaining why I Got Buster. I did a lot of research on all kinds of dogs and hubby was helping me because it was very important that I really did my research. I have been down a lot because I have REALLY BAD fibromyalgia and I try to keep my head up but there are more bad days then good and I'm only 31, so when hubby was in the military they would use dogs to help soldiers with PTSD along with other things so that's what made me look into getting a dog. I read that Bulldogs need Lots of love well lol so do I. I also read how bull dogs can have breathing issues and allergies and how fun I have asthma and bad allergies, then I read how Bulldogs can end up with hip dysphasia, arthritis and joint issues and well for you who know about fibromyalgia I'm just a hot mess. I still have really bad days but since getting Buster he makes my really bad days that much better because he loves me with all his heart and we are one in the same, I know it may sound stupid to some but I love all animals but I do have to say that I am a Bulldog lover and so happy that Buster and I got to meet. In a way he has made life that much better and that is why I got my Buster. Thank you for all who take the time to read my little story.

Oh I'm glad busters helping you through your bad days. And what a great hubby you have for supporting you. Bullies truly are some kind of special. They're good at easing your not so happy times, and remind you that there's light at the end of that tunnel.

:yes: How could this sound silly? Not to anyone on this site! I am convinced that Bully's are a step closer to humans than other dogs. (:shhhh: don't tell my Dena Dawg!) but they NEED us. They are far from perfect...like SOME of us here..lol..(@BruceP..:tease:) They teach us how to be loving and patient and how to live in the present. I'm so sorry you are hurting. I have a good friend with this same disease. She's very brave..just like you! :hug:

I didn't see a silly thing one in your story. While I am sorry that you suffer from disease, I am very happy for BOTH you and Buster for having such a special relationship. Bulldogs know what we humans are feeling, and I have no doubt that when you are feeling worse than usual he's always there trying to be a comfort. And when you are happy and doing well, so is he!

Bulldogs are very special companions, so much more so than any other breed of dog. Some people say they are stupid, but I disagree. My boy is smart as a tack! He just takes his time making decisions and once it is made, he doesn't change his mind.

Bravo to you and Buster for being such a well matched team. :)

I'm convinced that bulldogs r little angles in puppy coats!!!!!! When u feel like u can't go on or start ur day he will look at u like only a bulldog can n give u the strength to go on with ur day :')!!!!! I'm an LPN n had a patient with this disease n she to had a therapy dog (not a bulldog but I can't be judgmental lol) for that purpose, he gave her purpose!!!!!! Buster will love u like no one else can, his love will always be unconditional, he will never judge u, he will be there to comfort u n give u big puppy kisses!!!!! They know when we need them!!!! I had the flu 2 weeks ago n my baby girl didn't leave my side didn't eat n only went out twice when she wasn't cuddled on the couch with me she was on the floor with my hand on her n she would nudge me until I touched her!!!!!! I am so glad u found buster n I believe he was born to take care of u :')

I think that is a wonderful story:) I am a first time Bulldog owner and I gotta say my Leroy is my shadow! I grew up with dogs but none of them were as attached to me as Leroy. I think they are a really special companion and I am happy that you found Buster!
