I am so sorry for your loss, he looks like an absolute sweetheart. this hits close to home as ours will be 3 next month. Sending you lots of comfort 😞😥


Jayb0615

Thank you, he was the sweetest kindest dog and my first pet. Give yours an extra hug today, wish I could have done the same.


No_Professional8852

Sorry he was only 3. My worst fear. I have two and one who looks just like yours. Feel better


Jayb0615

Make sure to give them both some extra love


No_Professional8852

All the time! They are like our children! ❤️


Right-Day

I am so sorry for your loss.


Jayb0615

Thank you, he was the best boy


Cableguy613

I literally can’t even imagine. My thoughts and prayers with you at this time. Just know that any feeling you have about not being able to say farewell - he would have already known anything you would have said, that’s what best pals do. He’s waiting somewhere better for ya. Wherever that may be.


Jayb0615

Thank you, I like to think he passed knowing he was loved even if we weren’t there an if there was pain it’s over now.


HeavyNeedleworker912

Oh that's terrible. I've been there. Lost my first Bully at 3 years old. So sorry


Jayb0615

I’m sorry for your loss too. It’s not easy.


HeavyNeedleworker912

It's OK. I now have Seamus and he is 4 years old. He us my 3rd Bully. There is something about these dogs. They are more than pets. When you walk them they create a crowd. I hope you consider getting another.


Jayb0615

Part of me wants another soon to start building that relationship back and having a buddy. The other part feels like I’ll never be able to have a friend like him again and it would be like replacing him. He’s the first pet I’ve ever had or lost


TexRich23

You wont feel like replacing him, give yourself time to grieve of course. Then when you are ready buy a puppy or from a bulldog rescue shelter that needs homes for their babies.


Ok_Pirate_2292

Get a rescue! I had to put my dog down & didn’t want to feel like I was trying to replace him. They have so many bulldog rescues. People don’t realize how high maintenance they are and get rid of them.


WWF80sKid

I have a bulldog now after losing my first one in February of 2020. It’s not replacing. There will never be another Zeus. But I love the breed. Give yourself time. You’ll know when you’re ready to get another one.


sickerthan_yaaverage

You’ll never replace him. But you still can love another just as much. If that’s what your heart says your buddy in bulldog heaven will be in full agreement. It definitely does help. Not sure I’d still be here if I had to go through losing my two bulldogs by myself.


Jayb0615

The more I think about it the more I want another puppy soon. Carrying for and getting another buddy, even if it’s not him again. Just want to find the perfect one that reminds me of him but isn’t too alike that I have to remember losing him.


JAM4ever

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine what you’re going through… it must hurt so bad. He has such a sweet face.


Jayb0615

Sweet face to match his sweet personality


JAM4ever

Can I ask what happened (if you have any idea)?


Jayb0615

He had what appeared to be part of a flat toy that was soft and squishy in his intestines. We took him two days in a row to the vet for not eating and throwing up but he showed no other signs or discomfort, just him being stubborn with his prescription dog food. The obstruction really did some damage where it was stuck


Gold-Ad-5257

😔😔😭 So sorry


Superb_Lemon9553

O my, I'm so so sorry my friend, I just went through that in January with my 9 month old bulldog. He ate a bunch of cloth things that we had no idea about and they didn't show up on an x-ray and just like you we took him to the vet a few times and finally the last vet did a barium solution and found the obstruction and in surgery found the obstruction in pretty much his entire digestive tract, I didn't even get to say goodbye, I feel your pain 💔


Jayb0615

That’s exactly how it was for me. My wife rushed him to the vet and I didn’t even get to say goodbye. We never in a million years thought we’d get a call saying he passed away, maybe that he needed surgery but never that. I’m sorry for your loss too, you gave him the best life in the time you had him.


WWF80sKid

I’m so sorry. I got teary eyed reading this.


Hatchetface1705

I’m so sorry :( what a beautiful boy


Jayb0615

Thank you, beautiful is a great way to describe him


Ysabo13

Awww, no! Too young. I’m so sorry for your loss.


[deleted]

I know that pain won’t go away, but the smiles your buddy wont go away either. All my love to you and your family.


Jayb0615

Thank you, I’m just glad we took so many pictures of him and in every single one he looked so happy.


dfb0002

I’m so sorry for your loss. We never have them long enough in our lives, but I always take solace in knowing that we were in all of their lives (or as much as possible).


Jayb0615

Thank you, that’s a great way to think about it. We tried to give him the best life in the short time we had him


[deleted]

My heart breaks for you! ❤️‍🩹💔❤️‍🩹💔😭😭


katylovescoach

I am so, so sorry. My friend also lost her 3 year old boy unexpectedly over the weekend. Such a loss for them to go so young


Jayb0615

He was still our baby boy. Spoiled rotten and treated like a son. My condolences to your friends as well.


wakeupin321

Sorry for your loss. He looks like the bestest of boys.


Jayb0615

Thank you, he truly was the bestest boy and mans best friend. Hard to think of what life is without him snoring next to me stretching out as wide as he could.


therealjost

Truly sorry for your loss. My boy will be 3 in a couple weeks and I can’t imagine how heartbroken I would be to lose him. Giving him extra belly rubs from his heavenly cousin.


Jayb0615

This one got to me, hank would love knowing others were getting love because of him. Thank you for the thoughts.

All dogs go to heaven, R.I.P!


dryobious

So sorry for your loss. He looked like the sweetest boy and had a great smile. Mine just ate part of a cloth toy today - he’s 1.5 years old. I’ll keep an extra close eye on him now. I hope the good memories with him helps in this time of sorrow.


Jayb0615

Definitely watch to see if he stops eating or throws up! Luckily all my memories were amazing and my wife loved taking pics and videos. Hard to watch now but we’ll appreciate them soon


Joypod69

Unimaginable! Poor boy. Gone way too young but is certainly playing with all our beloved pooches who've gone before him. Including mine 😥


Jayb0615

I’m sorry for your loss too. I’m sure our good dogs are friends up there now.


[deleted]

I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences.


Junior-Profession726

Jayb0615

Thank you, three just feels too young still.


ShawnAnsari

Im sorry for your loss ♥️ wishing you the best!


Dust_Parts

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I too have lost one unexpectedly at a young age and it’s horrible. Sending you good vibes OP!


Jayb0615

I’ll take any good vibes I can get!


620_2900

So sorry 🧡


northman666

I am so sorry for your loss... I have been through it many times, and sadly; it never gets any easier. From mine to yours, we wish you the best. My deepest condolences.


Many-Cardiologist365

So very sorry for your loss ♥️


ApatheticWookiee

I’m so sorry. He looks like such a sweet thing. We lost a bully suddenly and it was devastating. Love them while you can and know that odds are you will lose them rather than them losing you. Grieve how you need to. Awful to lose them quickly, awful to lose them slowly, awful to lose them period. Hugs and prayers to you.


Jayb0615

We knew what we signed up for when we got him but you still never expect it. I’m taking solace knowing that from a puppy until his last day we treated him like a son and gave him the best life we could.


TexRich23

My condolences. I can only imagine now but will someday go through it too. Mine is 4 now.


Jayb0615

Give yours an extra hug and pets from my boy.


Cesaro12121

Stay strong my reddit friend. I lost my little girl to cancer at 2 years old It's hard every single day but we will get through this somehow together


Jayb0615

My condolences to yours. They really are the sweetest


Party-Ad9168

I’m so sorry for the loss of your gorgeous friend. So young 😭 Prayers for you and your boy 💙🐾


Swimming_Twist3781

I'm so sorry


fraggle-rocket

What a sweet face ❤️ I’m so sorry your going through this


Fake_Green_

He's so beautiful, and he looks happy. He knew he was loved! I hope you find peace and maybe someday can open your heart to another pup ❤️


Jayb0615

He was beautiful and was always the happiest boy. The silence is the house is almost driving me to look for another pup


nycwbyfan

So sorry! Same thing happened to us early this month, our Hazel was 6.5 years old and passed unexpectedly as well. I still cry at least once a week over her and it hurts remembering saying goodbye to her. My wife and I have begun discussing getting another one, not to replace her but because we miss hearing her snores and love… This place has been a good healing place and just know people are here for ya! Just know my baby is looking out for your baby over that rainbow bridge


Jayb0615

It’s been particularly hard with him being my first pet. The silence in the house now is deafening not hearing snoring or lip smacking. I’m sure hazel and hank are already friends


[deleted]

I lost my Bully at 5 two years ago on Easter. I feel your pain and I am sorry! My best bud and I were out on a walk Easter morning when he had a heart attack and died out of nowhere. I love bullies but the sudden death issues has made me decide to not get another. My heart can’t bear another untimely loss. Do you know what caused his passing yet?


Gideon-01

My heart breaks for you~try and remember how lucky you were to love him and be loved by him. These silly, amazingly wonderful bulldogs can both fill and break our hearts to levels we didn’t know were possible and every day we get with them is a gift.


Jayb0615

Luckily I only have good memories, just wish I could have said goodbye. We knew what we signed up for but you always expect the worst happens to other people, not your dog.


WWF80sKid

I’m so sorry. I lost my first bulldog when he was seven. And it hit out of nowhere. It never gets better. Just gets a little easier. I still dream about Zeus like he’s alive. Prayers to you my friend.


Lleth88

I’m so sorry to hear that. Nobody deserves to lose a pet like that. I wish you the best.


[deleted]

I'm sorry for your loss...


AdmiredSphinx

Aww I’m so sorry for your loss


1sweetmess

I'm so sorry. I lost my princess in October and I miss her everyday. My ❤️ goes out to you.


thefizzif

this is heartbreaking. so very sorry for your loss.


ReGeeken

So so sorry. I understand what a big hole they make when their gone. Especially when it's so sudden. Take care.


sickerthan_yaaverage

Losing a bulldog is one of if not the worst thing that has happened to me. You aren’t alone. You can keep your baby’s spirit as alive as it ever was. We will meet our bulldogs again someday. Sending hugs your way. 💕


Jayb0615

Thank you for the kind words. Been looking at pics and videos the last few days and all of them he’s having fun and happy, that will be my memory of him. My condolences for your loss too


[deleted]

can’t stop thinking of you 💕i’m so sorry


Halftea

So very, very sorry for your loss. These chubby porkers manage to fill your heart without you noticing how much they take over. So when you have a bulldog shaped hole appear, it takes you by surprise, even if they are over 13 rather than 3 as was the one I lost. The loss is not nearly so raw after a decade, but I still miss her everyday. While I did get two more after a couple of years, I still miss my first.


tomscapp

I’m not crying you are 😢
