I'm so sorry...I love French bulldogs, they're such an awesome breed, and yours sounded especially sweet. I'm glad the mastiff is starting to cheer up a bit, but are you holding up okay?
It's been hard but I try to just keep myself busy so I don't think about it so much. Which isn't hard working 50 hrs a week and then coming home to tend to 80+ chickens, 25+ calls, 8 chinchillas, a dog and 7 parrots lol. I miss him a lot and think about how he was always so happy all the time. He was such a lover and loved everyone and everything. He wasn't the smartest book on the shelf but man was he a happy dog and so full of life. The vet thinks he had a stroke and within just a matter of 3 days he was gone. I had to watch the life drain out of him until I couldn't allow him to suffer any longer and the time came to let him go. Holding him while he took his last breath was awful and not something I will ever forget.
