Up All Night With A Sick Friend - Melanie (German Shepherd)

Melanie is ill! Yesterday morning, several of the English bulldogs got their baths on the back porch. Melanie happened by and asked if she could help. She loves to help. "You need a bath yourself," I told her. So I soaked her down and rubbed in some tick and flea soap. Well, I didn't do a good enough job rinsing the soap out of her double layered fur. And I should not have sprayed her with flea mist so soon after her bath. The combination caused a reaction that laid her low! She just wanted to lie down in the kitchen and watch me with those big brown eyes. Since 4 this morning, she has passed the low point. She went to the back door and wanted out -- a very good sign.

Melanie has passed early Saturday morning in her sleep. I will always think of her as she was a constant companion, a gift from Judy.

Update: Cause of death was tick and flea soapy water. Melanie drank from the kiddy pool that I had been rinsing the bulldogs in. I should have put her up.

Day lilies blooming!

Pictures of Cheesecube Applecheek -- Beautiful English Bulldog

Kristi Emailed pictures of her beautiful bulldog:

I have "Harmony" (new name - Cheeseburger) from Jazzman and Eve's January 26, 2008 litter. I used to follow Judy's Journal religiously, but after over two years my visits became less and less frequent and I just found out about her passing. I'm very sorry for your loss, but am very happy that you are keeping up her legacy with the Puppy Gal blog!

I just wanted to send you some recent pictures of my baby girl. She has been the biggest blessing of my life. I'm not sure there has ever been such a loved and spoiled dog!

Sweety Pie, female English bulldog, Loves Her Bath!

Sweetie Pie loves her bath. She saw the tick and flea shampoo in my hand and made a bee-line to the back door. How she can be so smart sometimes and so dumb other times is hard to figure out. She climbed into the kiddie pool where she gets her weekly bath and waited for me to spray her down. What she likes best of all is when she gets shampooed and then gets scratched and massaged all over (especially around her tail!)

Just about the time the rinse water was being sprayed, Sweet Pea came strolling down the driveway. She had been frightened by a loud clap of thunder and broke out of her exercise pen to come find her Daddy. She got lots of loving and petting before I put her up.

Meanwhile, Sweetie Pie was shaking off her bath water and ready for a nap. She did NOT get too much loving because she smelled like a wet dog.
