AKA - VINNIE
(RIP)
Vinnie at 3 years old
Vinnie was born in quarantine on
the 3rd August 2003
He was sadly put to sleep on the 3rd February 2009
at the age of 5 1/2 during investigative surgery
which identified that he had
Cancer of the Spleen which had already started to
spread to other organs.
Vinnie had never had a days illness before this
time,
and only showed signs that he may
be ill when we noticed
he had gone off certain foods a few days prior
to
visiting the vet
the day before his surgery.
Vinnie was a great personality, fun, loving, a true
bulldog character,
who was much loved by all who met him, he will be
greatly missed.
Thanks to Greg Souza & Tony Byrne
for producing him...
Vinnie has one offspring
thru a breeding with Joleen
...
"Madi" - a very special girl ....
