My wife Vickie is into English Bulldogs and she like to show them at various dog shows....I bought her our 1st Bulldog his name is Spike....He has been the best dog I have ever owned he was our 1st to become a champion...Spike was defiantly Vickie's dog he followed her everywhere she would go.....he loved to sit on the sofa with her and put his head in her lap....we affectionately called him "bud".

Well this morning Spike came upstairs when I got up to say hi....he was breathing seemed like he was congested but he looked up at me I scratched him and then he jumped up on the sofa....seemed fine when I left for work.....I get a call this morning when Vickie got up she said he was having trouble breathing.....before I could get home he died in Vickie's arms.

This is a very sad day for me and my wife......RIP Spike

sorry to see this....

A lot of bulldogs have problems breathing sooner or later.
Sad with this champ it was fatal....

That is a real bummer Walt, RIP Spike. How old was he? My bulldog will be 10 this year, and I can't even think about losing him.

Sorry to hear Walt. Dog looks awesome!

Was it congestive heart failure? My parents dog just died the same way and that was the problem.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Walt.

If it's any consolation to you (and Vickie), maybe think about the AWESOME life you provided for Spike.
No one could have given him more.

R.I.P. Spike

I'm sorry to hear about so many of our members pets dying lately, dealing with the lost of a pet is a very painful time.
Its the down side to owning a pet.

Thanks for all the kind words.....that dog was truly part of our family and he will be missed by all those who knew him.....I am just sick about this....he was fine yesterday and this AM he dies....we think he aspirated some fluid into his lungs......my poor wife is a wreck.....Spike was her 1st English Bulldog and our best one......I loved him.

I have been in meetings all day and all I can think about is him....can't believe when I get home he won't be there to greet me............I am so Sad.

Walt

Spike was 6.5 years old.
