Chunker & Mattie
Our names are Franki & Julie. We live in TN and are the proud mommys to 4 babies, 2 of which are bullies :bully: Their names are Chunker (m) and Mattie (f). Chunker is 3 1/2 yrs old and Mattie will be 2 next month. We love our bullies sooo much!!! They have the sweetest personalities :yes: I want to start a Bulldog Rescue one day. No bully should be left alone or mistreated. Breaks my heart when I hear of that being done. Our other babies are Samantha, a 13 yr. old Mini Schnauzer and Chuewy, our 6yr old Lab mix, who was recently diagnosed with bone cancer on 4-29-11. If you're interested, you can read Chuewy's story at this link:

Thank you for taking the time to read our story...~There is no greater love than the love of a dog~

Chuewy (our lab) saw his new Dr. today....He agreed it is bone cancer according to the xrays....HE drew blood today, which has YET to be done and also did FULL BODY xrays to see if the cancer has spread.....IT HAS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! :happydance: While we understand that xrays are not 100% accurate, there were no signs of cancer that the Dr. could see!! He agrees that amputation is the best choice for Chuewy....and will send off for a biopsy to see which kind of bone cancer he has so it can be treated appropriatly. His lab work was great except for his RBCs and Hematocrit are a little low, which is most likely from the Chemo he's on. On April 29, 2011, I specifically asked our former vet if they could do blood work to check for cancer...the response we were given was "The markers arnt high enough to test" (???) ok....then I asked what about a biopsy.....the response we were given was "With it being this advanced, there is no reason to have one done.....it is bone cancer". Then I asked " what if it's just confined to his leg....and you amputate...if it's not spread anywhere else, looks like he would have a good chance of living....can you xray his body to see if it has?" The response we were given was "There is no sense in doing that because I'm telling you, it's already spread thru him and even with amputation, he only has aprox. 6mo to live." Well guess what, YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand that Drs. can be wrong sometimes, but I'm a nurse and while I may not be a Dr. or the smartest woman in the world, I refused to settle for "Let's just amputate and he might live 6 mos." I asked our former vet these questions MUTIPLE TIMES and got the same response...."Even amputation isnt going to make him live longer"....Well Chuewy just might prove you wrong!!! I know I did today!!! It's amazing how you trust your babies life with someone and then get a slap in the face....I'm so glad we had this 2nd opinion done....I told Chuewy as soon as we found all of this out over 2 weeks ago that I would NOT give up.....And I won't!!!

Please continue to pray for him...and as far as donations are concerned, if you want to donate, just send me a post or email thru facebook and I'll give you our address to mail it....Again, thank yall for reading this and keeping Chuewy in your prayers....

Franki, Julie, & Chuewy :)

WELCOME! I'm adding you on facebook. :) I'm [email protected] (Whitney Wesson) If you do end up starting a rescue, I'd love to talk about fostering! I have one little bully girl, Katie, who will be 5 on the 26th. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with Chuewy. My parents' American bulldog had a cancerous tumor removed a few years back and it was such a scare. I hope all ends up well with him!
