You are so correct! I'm trying not to get to crazy because I can certainly throw myself into a panic...I keep telling myself she's not going solo until August... I hope her skills will grow over these next few months...

Not a lot, just enough to be annoying and cause him to wake up several times a night to shift positions. We tried a bunch of other pads and feather beds, etc., and nothing helped.
I did a lot of research, and ended up buying this on Amazon.
Lumex 7-4000EC Convoluted Foam Mattress Pads ,4" King 76x78x4
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KY9SJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's super thick, super soft and has TOTALLY relieved his back. He is happy as a clam and sleeps like a log.
So, if anyone has back/mattress/sleep issues, this is the way to go.

Elle Chris, our Westie vomited and then coughed very oddly, I got her immediately to our vet and he said I did the right thing because he had seen so many dogs die from ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA. He said its almost impossible to save dogs with aspiration pneumonia. You did the right thing for your dog. We got a chest x-ray to make sure she had not aspirated her vomit. She had not, caught a break there. (She is our bionic dog, she has had both hips replaced in Houston, Texas, by Dr William Liska.)
We've also been through allergy hell with both our Westies. The one above, she gets an allergy shot weekly from us, she has an allergist vet she sees regularly. We particularly have trouble with her paws and skin. We bathe her in Douxos shampoo twice weekly and that eliminated the skin problems. Now its down to just seasonal paw issues/infections.
How does your English Bulldog manifest the allergies?
I love that breed, such great dogs. A neighbor has three and she walks them all at the same time, its a total hoot to see them!
