John, from Williamsburg, Va. My bulldog will be 14 this June. I can see her start to struggle with some things. She has such an adorable personality and fitting for a bulldog she is bull headed. If she gets mad at you she goes and faces a corner and refuses to acknowledge you.
Each year on her birthday she gets birthday hat and a cupcake of her very own. She is my best little buddy. My Brindle and Benny both made it to 12 years of age. They were healthy most of their life until they passed away from bloat.
I had them mostly on a raw chicken diet with the bones. They also loved raw gizzards and sardines. I supplemented a grain free dog food too.
Surprisingly, they both loved the water and could swim without lifejackets. I miss my fur babies terribly. Our Bo He is so intelligent. He stares into my eyes and tells me how he feels. And God healed him miraculously when I had back surgery and lived in a new environment. Bo was having breathing issues. I prayed for three days and nights from my bed that God would open up one of his nostrils and HE did! A few years later he had to have surgery to remove excess skin in his throat.

He got corrective surgery and fully recovered in 10 weeks. When he turned 7 months, his right knee gave out and Apollo began limping. That broke my heart. I asked myself why such a beautiful puppy was going through all the issues I had been warned about. So, knee surgery came about and he recovered quickly 2 months.
