it breaks my heart to see kingsley hooked up to an IV, isolated in an oxygen tank receiving breathing treatments with some stupid cone on his head so he won’t pull out his IV. but the good news is, he’s eating again and finally responding to us when we visit. we can’t wait to bring him back home from the pet hospital.
also, thank you thank you thank you for sending good thoughts and positive energy his way. it means a lot.
such a brave little king.
kingsley, i love you.
*and these were taken with my iphone so sorry for the quality.
Good to hear he is doing well! What a trooper.
Poor Little Guy. Glad that he's doing better!
oh golly! that looks equal parts sad and scary :/
So glad he's doing better but those pics break my heart. Love you Kingsley! xoxoxo
These pictures make me so sad.
Poor puppy.
Poor thing :(
aw! i'm glad he's feeling better. he's a strong puppy that's for sure! sending lots of love!
those photos broke my heart:( im glad to hear he's doing better and i know he'll be home and chewing things again soon:) sending a huge hug to all 3 of you.
my heart is heavy for him…and you.
Your babies sick and you're apologizing for grainy pics.?! Don't worry about what we think! We're here for you.
ugggghhhh, that made my heart and stomach hurt! look at that sweet baby. my husband and i are georgia bulldogs all the way! i'll be thinking good thoughts for your little king.
good to read he's feeling much better.
he's such a strooong ninja!
huge hug to him!
Ugh, I am so sorry poor little Kingsley is sick. I hope he continues to do better! (Eating is such an awesome sign!)
breaks my heart. I would be a mess if that happened to my ruby. answers any questions I had about whether or not to get her the "elective" vaccines.
I want to cry. Oh. Sad little boy! Glad to hear a positive update.
this breaks my heart into pieces! he shouldn't be sick when he is so young! can't wait to see pictures of him running around!
I'm so glad to hear that Kingsley is starting to get better!! Eating is definitely a good step to coming home.
little kingsley was our topic of conversation tonight. glad to hear he's doing better. get better little king :)
poor baby! hope he feels better soon, i'm sure you miss him.
I hope he's FULLY better soon! It's a testament to his high level of cuteness that he looks adorable even while wearing a cone.
that is the saddest thing! poor boy. glad he is doing a little better!
So glad he is doing better! My dog, who as a puppy belonged to my uncle, had parvo as a puppy. My mom went to check on him because my uncle was in a horrible motorcycle accident and couldn't do so. She walked in a room and he was in a pool of blood and in such bad shape. However, thanks to the puppy powers that be he was brought back to good health and is a very old, lovable 14-year-old man.
So, my anecdote is kind of awful but what I'm trying to say is, I hope Kingsley has a great recovery and, because of my past experience with sick puppies, I know he'll make it out fabulous.
what a traumatizing experience for you and your baby! at least he'll be much happier to finally be feeling better!! glad he's doing well. poor little booger.
Poor pup! He looks like a human baby in that incubator. I hope he gets better soon. I know its rough seeing your baby hooked up like that.
The poor little guy! I'm so glad he's doing better though, what a relief.
1st of all Im very glad to hear that he's recovering :)
2nd of all I think im in love with him, but please dont tell newton (my little pug) because he's going to be jealous.
besos y abrazos
Ohhhh! THis broke my heart! :(
I know it's hard to believe people when they say, "I know how you feel." But I honestly, I 100% get it. Been through it. It's the hardest thing EVER to see them sick or hurt. Get well, Kingsley!
What a little fighter, he'll get better before you know it! My warmest thoughts are with you three.
this made me tear up. im praying for a fast recovery so he can come home. xx
aww, so glad he's doing better! stupid cone. i bet he makes a full recovery very soon.
poor, poor little Kingsley!! he looks so sad :( sending him lots of get well wishes!
i used to have an english bulldog named shakespeare. he had my heart forever.
the medical complications with this particular breed can really be hard.
they are the most wonderful, loving dogs, however.
when shakespeare got older his paws started to separate and bleed in between and it was difficult to witness (apologies for being so graphic). but with plenty of exercise we got the weight off and he lived happy, full days of vibrant life.
i wouldn't trade the 11 years i had with him for anything.
there is nothing in this world quite like an English bulldog.
baby bully's are the very reason my world goes round. praise God for such a beautiful creation.
hugs.
what a trooper! He'll be back and in charge in no time! xoxo to him!
we're def praying for your little puppers. i literally cried when i read this. poor baby cakes.
Poor baby! I hope he gets better faster than ever. Hugs to all three of you!
Oh- poor little guy! Sending good thoughts your way!
Poor thing! He's just so little! Glad that all the staff are taking care of him. Best of luck and well wishes for the King.
Here's my message to Kingsley: Woof woof woof!!! (He'll know what that means.) Poor little guy–but such an adorable conehead! Love him.
poor little guy!!! do they know what caused his illness?
aw..poor little Kingsley. :( iphone picture quality is bad but kingsley is still a cutie (even with the cone and all)
aw poor baby! i'm glad he's doing better and hope you guys can take him home soon.
Oh that whole scene is a bit heartbreaking, iv's, cones. Hope Mr. Kingsley gets better soon :)
What a trooper! I'll keep you and your little ninja in my thoughts and prayers!
this breaks me heart!!! I know what you are going through. Our Charlotte had spinal surgery last year and it's very hard when you walk in the door and they don't even acknowledge you, especially when you are used to tons of wagging tail and kisses. My thoughts are with mr.kingsley!!
Poor little man…. Glad to hear he's doing better and just to know he's eating is always very good sign. I feel for you Mum and Dad – it's no fun seeing your little one ill :( He is a brave little King. God bless xx
So sorry!! All positive energy in your direction.
This just breaks my heart. I'm glad that he is getting the treatment he needs though. To be honest I didn't even realize dogs could get this sick..
poor Kingsley! He looks like he is taking it like a champ though!
Hope he gets better soon and can come home!
How heartbreaking! I hope he recovers in no time <3
Your poor little baby. I've had to deal with a sick kitty in the past few years and it is NO fun. I hope your little is on the mend ASAP!
oh poor sweet baby! :( i hate seeing puppies in those cones but he looks so strong and he should be- he has parents who love him SO much!!!
i just want to hold his hand.
oh my goodness! that poor little puppy! he look so unhappy! my heart is kinda hurting looking at these pictures and a have a big sad lip on my face looking at these too :( hope he gets out super soon!!!!!!! you guys can do it!
Awww poor little cutie! =[ Best wishes for you and your baby.
Praying for Kingsley's quick return home, safe and sound. Hang in there, little ninja!
Am so glad he’s better we still need so many Kingsley stories am just imagining what wonderful adventures we will share with him!! Darling am glad he’s getting better poor little king I could only imagine what he’s feeling but am glad he’s eating yay!! Take darling and josh just hang-on a bit more!!……Love Dye♥

Breaks my heart! Get better soon little guy
These pictures break my heart…but it's good to know that he's doing better. I will continue to think good thoughts for you, Josh and Kingsley.
awww, i hope he gets better soon. :(
so sad! hope he feels better soon!
We are all rooting for your darling Kingsley-Get well soon!
despite the goofy looking cone on his head and that he might be feeling sick, he still looks a tad bit adorable. Glad to hear he's feeling better. Keep it up kingsley! :)
Oh my goodness! Poor little guy! Glad he is doing better :( The pics broke my heart.
aw poor guy!! i'm so happy that he is starting to turn around. i want to give him loves so bad! that sweet little face!
Poor thing… Sending some more of my best wishes to both the little king and the loving parents :)
oh boy, these pics are so sad and pitaful :(
so glad to hear your little man is doing better
xo-e
What a cute angry little manpuppy. I hope he gets better, to the point where you can giggle at the cone on his head like we did when my milo had to wear it
Poor King, I hope he will be soon healthy again. i know how it feels when little friend is sick that it needs pet hospital treatment.
petal, i really hope he is ok. in fact, he will be. he knows how much you and josh love him and he is in very good hands where he is right now.
big big big love. and btw, just goes to show u that sometimes u never can be too overprotective! imagine if u hadn't gone immediatly to the vet?go you!
xxxxx
im sending positive vibs for him to get better very soon!
ooh that poor little baby! though i am sure they do their best down at the pet clinic! get better quickly, kingsley a.k.a. ninja
I'm so happy he's doing better. It's heartbreaking when pets get sick because they are a part of your family and you feel there's so little you can do for them. He's obviously in the right place getting great care so I'm sure he'll be back with you soon. Sending lots of love and light to you, Josh and of course Kingsley.
So sorry he's been ill, glad to hear he's improving. Lx
oh these photos brought tears to my eyes! seeing animals sick like this just kills me. so heartbreaking. poor little love :( feel better soon, little kingsley!
glad to hear he is doing better. i know the feeling. our lil timmy was sick a while ago… you feel so helpless at times. not fun at all.
keep being strong for him. xo
Poor little guy! We are all thinking of him, and you too!
Oh poor puppy. I hope he gets better very soon and returns to his sweater and fireplace as soon as possible.
Kingsley's a champ for fighting hard :)
I'd be so devastated to hear such news about my own puppy. Glad to know he's on the road to recovery!
He'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
These pictures are so sad…I hate seeing little helpless lovies like Kingsley feeling sick :(
Hope he continues to respond well and get better fast!
Aw, those pics break my heart. Glad he's getting better!
First of all, I'm sorry this is happening, but here is hoping that he is back at your home and healthy. Kingsley is adorable.
Second of all, I wanted to say don't apologize for your photo quality. If anything, I love them. I thought they were film until I read the end of your post! The photos give it very honest and gritty (in a nice type of way) feel :]

It breaks my heart to see him like that! Poor little thing! In my thoughts! Can't imagine having to take my Oscar to the vet for something like that.
Glad to see him doing better.
- JoAnn
Aw poor little guy. I hope he gets better fast. Breaks my heart seeing him in there! Sending lots of puppy love
I wish Kingsly and your family all the best. I'm really pulling for this little guy!!
We have an English Bulldog too…they're the best. The best.
Poor Thing! If he's anywhere as strong as he is cute he will be more that ok :)
Sending love and good wishes!
That gauze bow around his neck is rather fashionable. :) Hope Kingsley gets better ASAP.
Tiff
As sad and pathetic as the cone makes ANY dog look, he still looks adorable!
Glad he's getting better!
When you get to take him home (if he's on IV fluids)make sure you let him go to the bathroom before you take him home, and also be aware that he may have a fluid pouch that feels like a tumor. (I freaked the crap out when I picked my dog up and he was sitting in my lap and I felt the tumor thing, then he pee'd all over my lap and my car. Good times! I called like 8 different vet offices to make sure he was okay, and didn't have cancer!)
You are a strong woman! I cried like a baby the one time my puppy got very sick AND I sat in the emergency hospital waiting room for at least 8 hours before they told me to just go home and they would call me when they made progress.
I went home and cried some more!
I'm sure the little king senses that you're staying strong for him!
Awwwwwwwwwww, what a sad little wrinkled guy :( Hoping for a speedy recovery!
these pictures break my heart! i am so glad that he is doing better. i went through something similar with my cat {whom i absolutely adore & has a dog-like personality}. it is hard, but he knows how much you love him!
Those pictures are so sad! I hope he is feeling back to normal soon!
Sending positive energy Kingsley's way! Your little ninja will be home in no time!
oh, those picture are so heartbreaking! Thinking of you guys and Kingsley!
Poor little King! Keeping ya'll in my thoughts!
Poor little guy….hope he gets to come home real soon…he's such a brave little boy!
Oh my gosh the poor little baby! I'll be keeping your little family in my thoughts!
Feel better King!
Poor little Kingsley! :( I just want to hug the little guy.
Glad to hear the little King is doing better. How heartbreaking. I hate being away from my cat, so I can imagine what you are going through!
x, ash
so glad to hear he's doing better, hope he gets to go home soon.
poor little buddy.
Prayers and thoughts for you guys and your little king! He's such a sweetheart and I know he will get better soon!! Take care!
oh what a sweetheart!
he'll be home with you soon!
peace.
Aww. Poor baby. I hope he's better enough to bring home soon!
Bless his little heart and yours!!! I hope he gets to feeling 100% soon. You and yours are wonderful pet parents! This will be a great lesson when you have human babies of your own.
Get Well Soon Kingsley we are all pulling for you! oxox
awwww, what a champ!
So glad he's feeling a little better! I bet you can't wait to see him bouncing around like a puppy should!
Awe! His picture in the oxygen chamber with the cone around his neck breaks my heart! Poor little guy!!!!! I am glad to hear that he is doing better and eating again!
Hopefully you are able to take him home soon so that you can love on him and spoil him!
sorry to hear kingsley's sick, but happy to hear he is on the mend! we went through the same thing with our dog, gibson, back in september: http://coltempo.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/rollercoaster/ we took care of him at home and nursed him back. it was MISERABLE but we're so glad he came through it to be digging up our yard today. kingsley will be fine, and if you have any dog-with-pneumonia questions just shoot me an email!!
Poor little guy!! Sending positive thoughts your way, and hoping he gets well soon!
those photos just break my heart…sending even more love and good thoughts your way
from me & roxy :)
Your little pup is definitely in my thoughts. I hope he has a quick recovery time and gets to come home soon!
Big big hug towards him, cause he has to be and will be strong, knowing you care!
I know how it its to cry and suffer for someone beloved…
So >:d<!
Dearest,
A Dreamer.
i can tell he has sad little eyes! not his usual perkiness. poor baby, i'm sure he'll get better soon
Those photos broke my heart. I hope your little man gets better really soon.
Poor Kingsley. :-( But, I'm so glad he's doing better and he'll be back home getting into the fireplace before you know it! If nothing else, I've never seen a puppy look so cute in one of those cones.
Omg I totally want to cry! These pics are breaking my heart! I hope he gets well super fast! That poor baby!
I am so sorry to hear about Kingsley! I do hope and pray that your lil' king feels better real soon. Having two furbabies of my own, I know how worrisome and stressful it can be. :( Be strong, Momma Naomi and Poppa Josh!
KINGSLEY!!!!
He will be in my thoughts! Get well soon little king!
He looks so pathetic, poor thing.
He looks resilient and ninja-like, so he'll probably bounce back in like, 4 minutes.
I'm so sorry your pup is sick, but glad to hear he is doing better. We have two pups we adore, and having to go through that is SO sad. Praying for you guys!
Oh bless him, I just want to give him a big hug! He does look very brave and I am so pleased that's he's eating again and responding to you. My thoughts are with you all. Stay strong xxxx
awwwwww poor guy!!! im so happy that he's getting better! he'll be home in no time! :)
breaks my heart. glad he is improving.
Poor guy ;( I'm glad he's feeling better. I hope you guys are too… thats no fun . As sad as he looks, he's quite cute. Soon enough you'll be able to take him home! ;)
So glad he is doing better! Your fam is still in my prayers for a speedy recovery!
I've had a pet in the dog hospital before… it is truly heartbreaking. Those photos make me want to give little Kingsley a BIG hug… I'm glad to hear he is recovering well, hope he can come home soon!
Aw, it breaks my heart to see him like that (makes me want to cry). I'm so happy to hear he's eating again. I keep praying he gets well ASAP!
Naomi, this made my eyes water! I adore dogs so much and hate to see them in any kind of pain. It's so heartbreaking!
Our Cairn was throwing up all day Tuesday, he's doing better, and now our Westie has been throwing up since last night. Seeing them going through just this 24 hour bug is horrible! And seeing baby Kingsley with the IV on his little arm made me melt. He'll be fine and back to normal in no time! It's just gut wrenching to have to see him this way, for sure!
Poor little peanut! He looks pleased to be in that cone :)
Hope he feels better soon
so glad to hear he's feeling better! xox
aaaaawe, poor baby! I hope he gets well soon!
Such a courageous little man. Glad you got him to the vet when you did.
Poor little guy. I'm happy to hear he's improving!
these photos break my heart for you two. as i said yesterday i bet he is a fighter!!! here's to hoping the kingsley is home with you very, very soon.
Myra = dog lover
Oh my goodness. This is a heartbreaking picture, but I know your little king needs it… god speed his recovery! I sometimes feel more sympathy for sick dogs than people (depending on the condition) because I don't think dogs understand… they can get confused and feel like they did something wrong. BUT, it is so wonderful that Kingsley has such a loving mom & dad!!
Poor doggy, he looks so sad! I will keep on praying for him…
this makes my heart hurt! super speedy recovery wishes for king' coming your way! love!
these pics really broke my heart! I'm glad he's doing a bit better though! I've never known about doggy ICUs…I am a nurse in a people ICU :) so this was really interesting for me to see….I hope he continues to get better fast!
Oh these pictures are heartbreaking! Poor lil guy! Glad to hear that he is doing better.
Oh poor little thing!!I hope he'll be bette soon!!!:)
OH. your little babe is breaking my heart:(:(:( hope he'll be walking the streets of the city very very very very very soon. hugs!!!
These pics break my heart!! Poor little pup. I bet you have an expensive vet bill! I recommend pulling out a pet insurance policy at VPI Pet Insurance! We learned the hard way $2700 later! boo!! :<
Glad Kinglsey is feeling better!! I love him!
aww poor thing!! im glad kingsley doing better
okay. this definitely just broke MY heart and kingsley isn't even my dog!! i have a dog named oscar (we call him oskie) and he gets sick very often so i definitely feel your pain. thank God that kingsley is feeling better :) :)
oh my goodness, the poor baby! I am so glad he is home and feeling better!
These make me want to cry. My bun was at the vet to get snipped and he looked much like Kingsley in the cone.
So happy to hear the wee one is coming home!
xxoo
oh my, this breaks my heart he is such a cutie<3 i have a pup too and get so worried when shes not eating or somethings wrong. He is just a adorable tho
Just came across your adorable blog–so fun to read–but this is the saddest posting I've ever seen!! :(
I'm glad he's home, these pictures are terrifying!
poor little guy. my heart is just breaking for you.

i read your blog backwards and was so sad to see this post of your little puppy! i'm glad to see he's doing much better now! oh, how our furry little angels become so special, sweet and dear to us!
Oh my goodness! This breaks my heart! Jumping around from entry to entry on your blog is very entertaining. It's so cute!
