Thank you everyone for the condolences and well-wishes. We are very happy to have Baby living with us. She's adapting well and is starting to behave like her old self. I think Mugsy will have to adapt a bit, though. He's no longer getting 100% of the attention now. Last night he weaseled his way onto our bed without us noticing. Who knew a 60lb bulldog can be so nimble and light-footed like a ninja! We woke up with him snuggled up between us.

...and oh man....the snoring! We thought Mugsy snored loudly. We have a duet every night!

My condolences on the loss of a loved one the tragedy that Baby witnessed would traumatize anyone, so happy to hear Mugsy is comforting her giving his support in her fight to adjust and so happy she has a loving home to do this in. God Bless you and your family you all will be in my prayers.

Such a difficult story -- my deepest condolences to you and your wife -- but what an incredibly sweet story about Mugsy and Baby...made me cry. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Me too. :*( What a story! Mugsy is a hero. What a wonderful friend he is to Baby. I am so sorry about your wife's father.

Im so sorry to hear about the tragedy your family is going through. My grandpa was murdered when I was a child. Eventually Baby will feel safe again, and it is really amazing that Mugsy seems to know she needs a friend. Kind of refreshing to see the unconditional love animals are capable of. A small piece of your loved one lives on through Baby, and I think eventually it too will be a bittersweet reminder of your memories of times when everyone was together.

What a very sad and yet beautiful story, it brought tears to my eyes and then made me smile, that picture of Baby and Mugsy is just beautiful, I would love to wake up to seeing two loving, caring bulldogs snuggles together. Thanks for sharing.
