Goodbye My Sweet Bella Rose

[sheltiesmama]

I hope this doesn't offend anyone and if I'm wrong in posting it the Mods can take it off and I won't be upset. Also, please understand that I just can't comment on anyone else's photos today. BTW I did take all the pics in the collage, so it is sharing shots. Thank you everyone for understanding that I just had to post this to help ease the pain in my heart. Those of you that have seen my other posts know how much I love my furkids, especially my dogs.



With a really heavy heart I've said good bye to my beautiful Bella Rose today. Bella suffered a stroke on 8/26/09. For a while we thought she would rally back but she had lost control of her right side and her bodily functions. She was also slowy losing the ability to swallow. I could no longer watch her decline and suffering so we chose to gently say goodbye. Rest in peace my Sweet Girl. Bella Rose----April 14, 1999 - September 05, 2009.

Oh Shirley....you told me she was sick...I didn't realize it was so serious. I am more sorry than I can tell you...I've lost so many over the years and I know how real the pain is. Please accept my sincerest apologies for your loss.

I am so sorry that you lost a dear friend. I know how much our pets mean to us. Remember. that you were the one blessed to have been able to spend those years with Bella. They are lovely pictures.

So very sorry to hear this news. You've done a wonderful job on the tribute and will have all your memories of a close friend. Never owned a Sheltie before, but have had lots of others including working Border Collies, loosing one is difficult.
