Busta was one of my first friends on myspace. He and his family gave my mom soooo much help, care, and love. Taking time out of Busta's needs they helped my mommy and donated to my cause!! I only hope that one day I will be as unselfish and caring as Busta. He came to all of us for a reason and will be greatly missed. WE LOVE YOU BUSTA!!

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS I HAVE TO SAY THAT MANGO HAS PASSED ONTO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH MANGO AND YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED!!!
I am a white pie-bald French Bulldog. No one currently knows my age but they are guessing at least 5 years or more.
Here is my story:
My former foster/adopted mom was told I was a retired show
dog that needed re-homing. When she met up with me I was
dirty, had yellow and brown stained fur (from sitting in
my urine and feces), scabs, and weighed only 16lbs. The
lady who my original mom talked to said I was a healthy
15lbs! What? I was a mess! The lady who dropped me off said I was a rescue dog instead. She gave her a paper saying my name was "Kiera" and what my adoption fees were and oh, yea...that I had not been spayed! This mom was horrified that I was not even spayed yet. She was suppose to sign a spay form but the so called rescue group forgot to bring it...hmmmm. Don't rescue groups spay/neuter before they re-home? After seeing my deplorable condition, my first mom was not going to send me back to where I came from. She got me home and cleaned me up, started feeding me some good food, putting on a few pounds. She also called the original person who said I was a retired show dog. This person changed her story and said that I am a rescue and she was adamant I am 3 years of age, but when questioned how she knew that she got upset and gave a number for my former mom to call and hung up. She did so and the doors were slammed in her face. All the while, she noticed I had an infection and went for treatment of a UTI. Unfortunately that home didn't work out because I dont really like little kids. My former mom found a nice home with a woman who had lost a bulldog and had another Frenchie for me to play with! She made all of the arrangements and I flew out to my new forever home in Florida. Two weeks later I was being spayed, more weight being put on, and being treated for the UTI. I also had the rabies titre done so I could fly to London with my family if they should ever return.
This is where the problems really started.
I failed the rabies titre test. That meant I had never been given a rabies vaccination before and the rabies certificate I had wasn't valid (from the rescue group in Texas). My new mom started doing some digging and my new vet tried to get my vet records from the hospital in Texas. They refused. Also, the UTI was still prevalent and I was tested again. A large amount of protein was found in my urine. Yesterday (5/31) I went in for an ultrasound. My new mom started crying when she heard the news. I was being diagnosed with Transitional Cell Carcinoma....cancer of the bladder. The tumor is the size of a golf ball. I could have anywhere from 130 days to one year to live. My regular vet said that might not be the case bec they don't know how long I have truly had the symptoms. If the tumor gets bigger it can block the urine from leaving my body and I will die. My mom has already spent $2000+ towards my care. VPI insurance won't insure me because I am a rescue with no medical history. We want to try alternative homeopathic medicines that have been known to shrink tumors, but our funds are running out. We can also try to remove the tumor. Mom just wants me to know what it is like to live a good, happy life instead of being bred only for financial gain. You can see how much I was bred by my pictures. You can also see how well I look now with a little TLC.
We have contacted the ASPCA in Texas to start an investigation against these people. We are praying it goes somewhere and this fake organization who is clearly using the rescue name as a cover up for their own breeder dogs gets brought to justice. We don't want other dogs to be treated this way and adopted out for their new owners to succumb to the pain and heartbreak that we are terminally ill. My new vet is pretty certain the people responsible for me in Texas new of my condition and that is why they were in such a hurry to adopt me out.
***The Houston SPCA has investigated this "rescue" group. We will not know the outcome until the investigation is closed. We were told to look for it on Animal Planet!

Auntie Danelle, we have to tell you this story from our walk yesterday. As we were walking along a path by the coast there was a house with it’s door wide open. Biffy ran in, then Bundy, and when mum ran in to get us the girls came in too. The door took you straight into the living room. You should have seen the 2 women’s face as 4 of us chased round their living room with mum chasing us shouting I’m sorry I’m sorry BMAO! They were like “get them out! Get them out!” They were cooking tattie scones (Scottish potato cakes) so we couldn’t help ourselves! Were we supposed to just walk past that? BOL! x

Geronimo!
we are well, thank you! We will figure it out - now that the weather is nice we are getting more walks. We each have our own crates taking up much of our front room. Pickle is still an anxious little mess at times. She cries when she sees other dogs and will bark if they bark. I have been working so much that they really have not been getting the training but I do what I can.
I am impressed with Cath's commitment, too. She is rocking it out....but never online! I miss her but her dogs are really doing well, even little Lydia. I wonder how she will do with the spray collar...
Happy Easter!
