BRUTUS!

RIP Brutus - 4/20/2004-3/18/2007

About Me

Sadly, Brutus passed away on 3/18/2007, just a month before his 3rd birthday. He herniated a lumbar disc while out in the yard one morning, paralyzing his back legs. He had emergency spinal surgery, and the neurologists were optimistic about Brutus being able to walk again. Unfortunately, he developed severe pneumonia and respiratory failure in the days that followed, and eventually had to be put on a ventilator to breathe for him. The vets said he would not be able to breathe again on his own, and so Brutus was euthanized on March 18th, 2007 with his mom, aunt and grandma present. He will be deeply missed by many dog and human friends around the world, particularly those lucky enough to meet him in person during his short time on earth. Thanks to everyone for being his friend for the time he was with us. I will keep his page active to stay in touch!
Please be cautious with your french bulldogs about jumping on and off furniture and climbing stairs. Their bodies aren't as strong as their personalities, and they rely on you to keep them safe!

My Interests

Warning - Do NOT get a Frenchie!They snort, spit, gurgle, bubble, purr, wheeze, scrock, make luggies, gag, yack, pant, and choke. You've never heard so many obnoxious sounds from a living animal in your life. Makes more nasty noises than a frat house party. It will pee in your shoes and on the side of the bed. It will pee on your kid. It will hear the doorbell on the TV and go protective. It will be deaf when its time to do something it doesn't want. It will only eat when another dog wants to eat his food. It will pretend he can't go up the stairs when he doesn't want too. It will try to act tough with the cats and if a cat swats it, it will cry. It will stand in front of the water bowl scaring off the other dogs. The more you don't like it the more it likes you. It will follow you everywhere and get caught underneath your feet. It looks at you with those bug eyes wanting love. Give it affection ... and it spits. If you love it - it will ignore you. If you hate it - he never leaves your side. It will stand on your chest when you sleep. It will spit in your face and rub those prickly whiskers against your lips to wake you up. It will sleep on the pillow and get indigent if you try to use it. And it will only use the goose down pillows. It will stare at you while you sleep. When you are working on the computer it will wedge against your ankle. It will be fixated with smells. It will be overjoyed when you take your socks off and jam its nose between your toes. After you eat it will be fascinated with your breath. It will park its pushed up nose against the refrigerator air vent trying to suck smells out. It will drink your coffee ... then spit in it. It gets cold in the winter and overheats in the summer. It only pants if you don't look at it - and stops when you do look. It takes it forever to drink with that pushed in face. When walking the real dogs with it, it will be determined to walk in front of the others.
Don't get a Frenchie!
