Tribute to my loving Kolohe Nani

BulliesofNC

Kolohe has been fading quickly over the last couple weeks. This last 5 days I've had to carry her outside to use the bathroom and carry her back inside and place her back on her comfortable doggie bed. Yesterday morning when I carried her outside she refused to stand. I tried 3 more times during the day but she refused to move. She stopped eating and even drinking. I knew she was dying and I was crushed but she remained peaceful and calm throughout the day. At 8:30 last night I tried to put water in her mouth by hand but she didn't want it. She could barely lift her head. My wife,Julie, sat with her on her doggie bed petting her and talking to her. My heart was aching because I knew what was happening. 30 minutes later at around 9:00 pm she closed her eyes and stopped breathing. Julie cried out and my heart dropped. We lost the most loyal and faithful dog in the world who would have given her life to protect us. She was a guardian and a gladiator. She was a truly awesome Bull Terrier. I just returned a few hours ago from burying her out back. I pray she is running free in the heavens full of energy and spunk like she had in her youth. There's a hole in my heart now that hurts more than I can explain but I know I will see her again one day.



Kolohe you provided us with almost 13 years of unconditional love and loyalty like no other dog. Rest in Peace Baby Girl. This tribute is for you.

My heart goes out to you Steve and your family. This tribute is wonderful. Time has a way to soften our sadness and make the memories of a beloved pet even that more precious. RIP beautiful lady.

In a way they are never really gone, because they do live on in our hearts and there they never fade away. Just too amazing to be forgotten.
Steve, you were lucky to have such an angel as a dog and she was lucky to have such an amazing human family in you and your loved ones and tons of furry pals.

I wish that your pain will soon enough make room for all of those heartwarming retrospects of her that will still cause a lump in your throat, but also make you so happy and thankful at the same time for the time and everything you guys had together.

Run free, Kolohe! Your memory will be treasured. :x

Thanks for all the kind words. Losing Kolohe hurt deeply and we will forever miss her. She was such a unique and special Bull Terrier with a personality that I can't be replicated.

Oh Steve and family, we know the devastating feeling only too well. Besides missing her forever, she will have a definite way of being with you forever.  Special Bullies are like that.... they impress your life so deeply that it seems every thing they did is always by your side and never leaves your thoughts...our Donna who gave us joy for 14 years is never far away. But, I cry with you all today.
