Never fear, Leatherneck Fans, Colonel Rock III will still be making some appearances to teach Colonel Rock IV all that he knows to know about being Western's official mascot.

I didn't know he had a FB page! I'll have to friend him
Yup, he's a good dog, super friendly, loves kids. He's just getting up there in age (average lifespan of a bulldog is 8-10 years) and it's time to step back and let a young pup take over the demanding public appearances and travel schedule.
If he's still showing up occasionally at things in the fall, you should stop by and give him a scratch behind the ears.

So, has anyone donated to the mascot memorial project? I keep trying to donate, and it kicks me out. Wondered if something weird was going on.
Well, some people are, it's up to over $22k at this point. If you're having problems, I'd contact the Foundation office: http://www.wiu.edu/giving/
You can call them at (309) 298-1808 or email them at WIUFoundation@wiu.edu.
