Bridgette

After 4 long years of waiting, I finally got an English Bulldog. I named her "Bridgette" the first time I saw her. When I finally took her home, I put her in an excercise pen until I could unload her new things, and her dog food. About 10 minutes later I went outside to bring her into her new home, she was not in the pen.

I panicked and ran to out pool, the solar cover had been moved. I could see her at the bottom. I dived in and pulled her onto the deck and began clearing her throat. I did mouth to nose on her for over 1/2 hour, and finally called my best friend Julie who came over to be with me.

I held my Bridgette in my arms until we had to bury her. She was a beautiful baby, so full of love and life. I still blame myself for this every day, and don't talk about it much.

But she knows I love her, and miss her everyday. We all love you Bridgie,
