It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Orbit, the resident Frenchie at Browndog Farm.
Affectionately known as the Flying Meatball, he was definitely a character, and had a ton of personality packed into a little body.
Orbit joined the farm in 2020, as an owner surrender, when life changes and and unexpected move left the previous owner unable to keep him. I’ve been holding off on sharing the news of his passing publicly, as I wanted to contact his previous owner first, but after exhausting available avenues, I decided it was time to share here. He was an AKC registered French Bulldog, and his previous owner told me he cost $10k as a puppy 😳. I often joked that I think I spent as much on special foods and medications for him over the years 😵💫
As he got older, Orbit started having more serious allergy issues, and also began having heart complications. I will give full credit to Dr Cohen at JLC Veterinary Services for doing an amazing job taking care of Orbit, and finding the right combination of medications to keep him content and comfortable. Unfortunately, likely as his heart continued to worsen, I could see a notable decline in his overall being over his last couple of months, and knew that it was time to let him go to the big sleep. My biggest fear was him having a catastrophic episode or cardiac emergency, and the difficult decision to let him go on a good day was made. He is buried at the farm next to Browndog in the pasture by a beautiful tree. While it is sad to have let him go, I am happy that we were able to provide a loving home for him for all these years, and that he passed peacefully and did not suffer.
Hug you puppies and pets, and treasure the time we have with them.
