Memorials

Our beloved baby, Bugsy, peacefully crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 3, after a mercifully brief illness. He leaves behind his grieving family, including his canine sisters, border collie Shadow and Spaetzle, a one-time passenger on the FBVillage Bus and gentle snuggler to this elderly gentledog. We will miss his fun spirit, joyful presence, his…

We are so very sorry to have to have to report that little CJ passed on late last night at the University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary School with his foster mom Karen close beside him. He did not die alone, we pray he did not die in pain, and he did not die in a…

Just this past week, the FBVillage lost a grand little French Bulldog. He didn’t give his foster mom much occasion to believe he was ill until the day he died, and then he went peacefully, drifting away in his sleep, curled up in his bed only a few feet away from her chair. He had…

When Shawn Seamans and his wife Jody returned home from a brief shopping trip, they returned to the kind of nightmare that no person should ever have to endure: their recently purchased home in flames and their dogs and cat inside, beyond their reach and beyond any hope of rescue, their fourteen year old daughter…

I brought her home last July, a frightened angry little old blind French Bulldog, turned out by the person she had lived with since she was a puppy. He didn’t even know how old she was, maybe 10 or 11. She had traveled with him across country, he said, from New York to California and…

Little Tinkerbell found her new home beyond the Rainbow Bridge… she passed quietly in her sleep sometime during the night of Monday, October 19th, 2009. Godspeed, little dog. Run with the angels.  

On Friday, June 27, 2008, a Cincinnati attorney and dog lover picked up a young French Bulldog from a pair of Ohio puppy import brokers who were relocating their entire sales operation from Ohio to California the very next day. The young dog was far too fragile to accompany the rest of the unfortunate pack…

Our spirited friend Camera Chenzira, who brightened the lives of all who knew her well, or who even just happened to cross her path, passed away on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2009. Camera was a small dog with a grand personality – she was known to interrupt her daily walk in order to greet neighbors and…

I have to let you know that Tyson has gone on to that better place where he has no limp and no seizures and can go as fast or slow as he wants. Sadly for me he has gone on – I know for him it is all good now. He left yesterday and left…
