It is with utter heartbreak that we must announce the passing of our precious Evvie. Our baby lived to be 7 years and 4 months old. She became our baby in 2019 when she was about a year and a half old. My wife found her on Facebook available from a breeder in Memphis. We brought her into our home when we only had one other adult Frenchie and that was Meisha. We also had Bella and Sugar Ray and eventually Ace and Jasmine but they were just puppies. Meisha was always jealous of Evvie and saw her and the puppies as a rival to her but the puppies loved her and so she became a foster mom to 4 puppies for us right from the start. After that everyone in our expanded family of dogs came to love Evvie dearly just as we did as a family. Her personality blossomed when she came to live with us. She never played with anything or anyone for about a year and then she began to come out of her shell. Whenever she would begin chasing the other Frenchies she would let out this bark that was so unmistakably Evvie: AWK!! AWK!!

Evvie was able to have her own little family. First with her boyfriend Ace she she produced two babies from which we kept a female and named her Ava. Second with her other boyfriend Bentley she produced five babies and from that litter we kept Amelia. Evvie knew who her daughters were and would treat them as if they were still her puppies by cleaning their faces and loving on them. Evie had a full life with us.

Unfortunately within the first year that we had her we noticed that she had trouble breathing and she was diagnosed with heartworms. They didn't expect that she would live very long. We were able to kill the heartworms under the guidance of Dr King and Dr Duncan at the Hohenwald Animal Hospital but her heart had suffered a lot of damage. The past two years maybe was very healthy and never had any problems breathing or going for walks and then a couple months ago we noticed that she started going downhill and losing weight. We worked with the Hohenwald Animal hospital and the Linden Animal Clinic to try and keep her healthy but her heart had just went as far as it could. On Monday July 15th my wife called me at work and asked me to please come home because Evvie's breath was becoming very hard and labored. We took Evvie around the house and gave everyone a chance to say goodbye to her. That was one of the saddest and most touching moments of my entire life but I'm glad that she got to say goodbye to her friends. They could all tell that something was really wrong with her. My wife said that morning the dogs woke her up because they were on high alert. They knew something was wrong with Evvie. Her lungs were filling up with fluid she was having a hard time catching a breath. We were able to get to the Hohenwald Animal Clinic and help her go to sleep peacefully before she suffered. We brought her home and I buried her right next to the bush that's in the picture in the center of the Memorial collage in this post. The day that I took that picture was 2 weeks before she passed away and I promised her that that is where I would lay her little body to rest. Its where Evvie always would sit and just look down the field for as long as you would let her sit there. She was an old soul who left paw prints on everyone's heart that ever met her. She was the wet nurse and adoptive mother of almost a dozen litters of puppies at Buffalo Valley Frenchies. But one of the most amazing things about Evvie was that whenever we would have a litter of puppies she would become so enamored that she would beg to see them and the mothers would always let her come in and help clean them. Then much to our amazement she began producing milk of her own and was able to help the mothers feed their babies and this was every litter over the past 6 years. So if you got a French bulldog puppy from us in the past 6 years you have a baby that Evvie helped survive once it came into this world. It would have been impossible for us to teach Evie all the things that we saw her do out of instinct and wisdom that only God could put inside her little mind.

We could never imagine our lives without Evvie having been in it and this is a devastating loss to our family. But no matter how much it hurts to lose Evvie I will tell you now, it was worth every single memory that we made together and I would do it all over again because that is the way of life. And that is the blessing of Jehovah God.

Yes! Please take this serious.

To my human moms & dads, this is what happens to my paws when you take me out in the scorching sun ☀️ when the pavement is so hot !

Remember I sweat through my paws, so in this heat I can’t get rid of my sweat as my paws are burning. Missing my walk won’t harm me. Please let me just relax indoors and take me out when the sun is down🐾

If you see someone walking their dog on hot pavement, ask them to take off their shoes for the remainder of their walk home. Maybe then they'll understand.

Thank you to 8 Below Husky Rescue for this valuable advice 🙏
