It is so sad about the bulldog ,I wish I could do something but I am just too far away.I get so annoyed at them so called `good breeders`yet again they are giving show people a bad name with their inhumane attitude.

It is a really sad story about the Bulldog, a situation that is happening all over the country i am afraid.
If only the powers of the Animal rescue world could get their act together and prevent these unwanted pregnacies by doing a mass campaign to spay and neuter dogs on a large scale for free.

It is a sad fact that there are many 'Chloes' out there........I have been very upset by people in my breed.....who said I should have left her there...as there are so many...."saving one won't make a difference"...... but I say.....LOOK AT THE PICS and tell me it hasn't made a difference....... and when any of you see a sad story, come back to this thread and enjoy the updates ........ realise there is hope in this big, bad world...... and hopefully what goes around will come around to those who most deserve it....in whatever way !!!!!!

A saying that I have re-adjusted

You can help some of the dogs some of the time
Most of the dogs most of the time
but you can never help all of the dogs all of the time.

You have taken this little dog and given here the best possible chance in life.
You have done the right thing and you know it! You have a big heart!
I salutte you
regards
DT

I agree we can't help them all but that shouldn't stop us helping the one.
Have any of you read this before:
It sums up my sentiments exactly.

Once a man was walking along a beach. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide.

The man was stuck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf.

As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"

Fleur ......... thank you for that .... I hadn't read it before...but will save and store to keep going back to........ it's what it's all about xxx

Yes ,it cheers me when I read about Chloe ,one comment that really got my back up proved what I accused them of was Chloe was having pedigee pups,not mentionig the situation you are in and that Chloes pups will be harder than usual to sell due to bad press ,you have done great for Chloe ,at least 1 has been saved.

Exactly what i think and you deserve to know that you have done the very best for chloe and the littleuns.

If only we could save them all, I lay awake at night worrying about the world and all the bad things that can happen to these defenceles creatures. I rescue cage birds and other animals and last year i made a difference to some in my area but could not help others around the country. I do my bit and have spent much of my own money to do what i can. (my other half is really great)

People like us and many others will keep doing these deeds and make a difference. I am happy if i can make a difference to even one hedgehog or budgie. I think what fleur posted says it all.
I had never read that before either

Yes .... that got to me too but didn't reply....might have said something wrong !!!. We had no idea what Chloe had been mated to when we bought her.....luckily for her it was another cavi....so no difficult birth due to large pups.... but you are right, with all the bad press lately we may have trouble selling them.... but hey....whats another 4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark going grey....quite quickly !!!!!!

I want one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
