RIP Blue II. This native Hoosier is heartbroken over your loss. I was never lucky enough to meet you in person, but you never failed to put a smile on my face with a picture or video on twitter or Facebook. Thanks for t…

I’m an LSU Tiger, but outside of Mike the Tiger, dogs rule in my world. Blue II was certainly a handsome boy, a great ambassador for the bulldog world and for Butler University. My heart is so sad at his passing. My condolences.

I first found out about Blue when scrolling through the NY Post/TMZ website and saw a picture of him on a plane with the pilots heading to the final 4 game. I’ll never forget that picture and the smile it gave me. I quickly became obsessed after I learned he had this own twitter and I could even view him via ustream in his office. I might live in NJ but I am a huge fan. I wish I had t…

My heart was BROKEN and TORN yesterday afternoon when I came home from school, went on my Instagram, and saw the post that Blue III posted about Blue’s passing. I was sobbing so much, and I couldn’t believe that he was gone. He touched so many people’s hearts and he was special to everyone. Whenever I was having a bad day, I always loved to see his posts on Instagram and his tweets on Twitter and…

As an “adopted Bulldog” (I married into it), I have enjoyed watching Blue II from his first days on campus. As a basketball season ticket holder my favorite memories are of sitting next to people who hadn’t been to a game at Hinkle before, or watching the opposing team’s fans, reactions as Blue dashed across the floor for his giant bone from the Dawg Pound. He captured everyone’s attention even…

Your Hoosier sisters & brothers from Bloomington will miss you Blue! You gave us a mascot to enjoy, especially since we don’t have one! 😉 RIP in heaven buddy. Don’t be too ruff on the other mascots to have gone before you.

I’ll never forget the day that I had the opportunity to meet Blue II and Blue III. When I heard they were in New York, I raced from work to their location and got to spend a few minutes hugging and petting them. Blue, thank you for all the joy you gave me seeing you during the Final Four with your bone and in your various photos and…

I think i’m coming here more as a fan of sports, animals and mascots in general more so then as a fan of Butler. Basketball was never my favorite sport and i didn’t live near where Butler is located. But i learned of Blue II and III and fell in love. I’m sad that he’s gone. Rest easy Blue II. The twitter handle section isn’t working so i’ll just leave it here.

I never was lucky enough to meet you in person, Blue II, but I met you in my heart. You were the greatest school mascot ever and you will be missed–but never forgotten. I am proud to be a Butler student. My deepest sympathies to the Kaltenmark family.
