My dear friends here at EBN, On Saturday, February 19, 2011, my life changed when I brought home the sweetest, chubbiest little meatball - Dudley, the English Bulldog. I had waited 25 years for my little EBD. he became my little boy, my sweet baboo, my love. He made his Daddy (Scott Kantruss) and I laugh all of the time - burying things with invisibile dirt, sucking on his baby, playing with his beloved toys (oh how he loved his toys), his little wiggle-butt when he walked, and those giant feel that garnered him the nickname, Mr. Fat Paws. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him, talked to him and loved him. But we noticed changes, more bets, more trainers, meds, acupuncture, but nothing was helping. Something was very wrong with my baby's little brain. After months and months of agonizing and fear, on Monday, February 8th, my life changed again, and my heart shattered into a billion pieces as Dudley sweetly, peacefully crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Although I know that crossing ended his pain and suffering, it just made mine and his Daddy's greater. In my shattered heart, I always will be "Dudley's Mom" - that shattered heard that hears nothing but the never-ending silence. No more barks at the UPS man, nor more running around the yard, no more Dudley kisses, and no more soft bully snores. Mommy and Daddy will never, ever forget you sweet, sweet bully baby. Mommy misses you and will always, always love you Dudley.
 
Kathleen, I can't even put into words how SO very sorry I am about Dudley… I know how much you loved and adored your big boy :cry: You did everything humanely possible for him, and it breaks my heart to know that nothing changed the outcome. Dudley had a wonderful life w/you & Scott, and he was truly living like a KING… We will miss him SO much here at EBN and all of his funny stories.

I'm here for you Kathleen if you need me, I know how difficult this can be… RIP Dudley… Big Beautiful Boy :heart:
 
I am heartbroken for you, Kathleen, nothing can prepare you for this loss.
Dudley sure had the most loving & devoted home EVER and now awaits
you in your time. How wonderful to see all our loved ones in Heaven! I
will keep you & Scott in thoughts & prayers in these coming days, sending
big Texas hugs, please take care of yourselves as Dudley would want for y'all.
 
Beautiful tribute to your sweet, loved boy. We will miss you Dudley.
 
My heart goes out to both you and Scott, we will miss Dudley very much, and I hope you will be ok without him, I know he was your bestie. Please call or message or anything if you need someone, much love xxoo

Kathleen my heart breaks for you both. May your sweet boy rest in peace, no longer in pain, and look down on us from above until we're reunited again. I will be praying for your loss. From one bully mama to another, sending you the biggest hugs. :cry:
 
My heart breaks for you and know we all are here for you... sending prayers and hugs of comfort to you. as I said last night, take it easy and be good to yourself. You love Dudley more than life itself and you did all you could for him.

:cry:

:angelheart:
 
:heart: Rest in peace Sweet Dudley...and comfort to your momma and poppa during this difficult time.
 
Kathleen, I was shocked and now so heartbroken to read that Dudley has passed away. I know he was the love of your life and you were such a wonderful mommy to him. Though we know he's now at peace and free from all pain and suffering, it still hurts so much to not have him here. I'm praying and thinking about you, my friend. ((((((HUGS))))))
 
Kathleen, like everyone else here i was truly heartbroken to hear about Dudley. All the losses we hear of take a piece of our hearts away..but some more than others. From knowing you on EBN and being friends on Facebook weve folowed your adventures with Dudley and your love for him just burst out of every post you made. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you kathleen. As i said so many other times to others who lost their bullies..I cant even imagine the pain. You are loved here!
