"Butch"

      Welcome to Butch's page. Butch was an English Bulldog that belonged to a friend of mine. Butch died of natural causes several years ago (25 give or take). He belonged to a veterinarian. Before his death, Butch, showed signs of severe arthritis, so when he finnaly did pass, his owner, the vet, decided to boil his remains and see what his skeleton looked like. The boiling was as far as Butch went. Now, some 25+ years later I am going to articulate Butch...you can follow this story from start until finish! I'll keep you posted as I go. For now, enjoy the pictures and note the severe calcium deposits. The orange bones are that of Butch (the coloring is due to lack of degreasing after boiling), the white bones are that of a Coyote, compare the two. Enjoy!

      Vertebrae, note the spondilosis

      Ulna, note the calcification.
