Bella died cuddled in my arms at the vets yesterday afternoon.
She came into our lives only two months ago like a little whirlwind of joyful puppy energy. She brought happiness and laughter to everyone she came into contact with ... family, friends, neighbours here on the caravan park, and complete strangers whenever we were out and about with her. Peoples eyes would light up as we approached and big beaming smiles were all she ever saw coming towards her.
A beautiful little dog that touched so many hearts.
Her first journey with us, heading for home..
Watched over from day one.
Adored by Mavis ❤
One of the hillside gang.
Sleeping in the office while we worked, always close, always safe.
But brave enough to bask in the sunshine while I gardened close by.
Sharing her little bed with big sister Suky ...
... and big sister Mavis.
Playing 'selfies' with Mum.
And afternoon naps with Dad.
Exploring Granny's garden ...
... and hogging the table at a family meal out.
A short life, lived well.
We were all so honoured to have shared it.

In our lives from the day she was born, in our hearts forever.
Rest in Peace my little Bella Boo 🌹♥️🌹

ReplyDeleteMuch love to you, Sue. xxxxx
Oh sh*t, that is the last thing any of us wanted to read. Sue my love, I am so desperately sorry. Having been through this far too recently myself I know how much it hurts. Know that I am thinking of you all. I hope eventually you will take some comfort from knowing that Bella had a wonderful life with you, full of gentle care, love and security.
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry to hear this. Having lost pets, some after a short time too, I know how quickly they get into your heart. She was so beautiful and that is a beautiful tribute to her. She had a too short but lovely life with you. I am writing this through tears so I can only imagine the hurt you feel right now. Sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. She was so adorable and you could tell she was really loved. RIP little Bella. (((HUGS)))) to you and Alan, Sue.
ReplyDeleteIt was obvious that Bella was well loved and secure within her pack.
ReplyDeleteYou gave her her best life that you could so cherish your memories.
The problem with love is that it often hurts.
Take great care of yourself and the rest of your pack over the next few weeks whilst the raw wounds heal.
Sue

So sad to read this Sue - having also lost a dog at a far younger age than might reasonably have been expected - and she too was a very special "Doglet" indeed - I can well imagine the utter devastation you feel right now. Treasure the memories. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, Sue. They really grab our hearts. The good news is that she'll always stay there.
ReplyDeleteOh Sue, I've just been catching up on blog reading and am so, so sorry to read about poor Bella. Her life may have been short, but it was a life packed with lots of love, from humans and canines alike, and adventure.
ReplyDeleteSending love to you, Alan, Suky and Mavis x
Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments, they mean the world to me and Alan ♥️
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you and Alan.
ReplyDeleteHugs-x-
:( Hugs x
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news so very sorry and what a blow to lose Bella at such a young age. Rest in peace dear little Bella.
ReplyDeleteOh Sue, how very sad. So sorry, poor Bella and poor you. X
ReplyDeleteOh dear Sue, so sorry your tiny little friend Bella couldn't stay with you very long. Sometimes the special ones only visit for a short while.
ReplyDeleteOh that's awful news, Sue. I'm crying for a little dog I never even met, yet loved because of your decriptions and photos. To lose sweet Bella at such a young age is particularly cruel for you and I can feel your heartache. As has been said, her time with you was filled with love, from you and all the other pets; she fitted in perfectly, didn't she? She can't possibly be replaced but I hope that in time you can feel able to adopt another fur-baby into your family. Big (((((((HUGS))))))) for you, Alan and her little furry friends.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't comment I do read you blogs and have learnt so much from them. So sorry to hear this, it does not seem that long ago that you lost your other little one. Reading about Bella lead me onto her breeders page which I also love, I bet she is devastated. My thoughts are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie - love to you all x
ReplyDeleteJust catching up Sue. SO, SO sorry to hear that you have lost Bella. Doesn't seem fair when she had her whole life ahead of her. Love to you and Alan - hope you are OK.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, so sad. xxx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about your little Bella xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this news. She was an adorable dog who was having a wonderful life with you all. Thank you for sharing her with us. Maeve xx
ReplyDeleteOh dear - how sad for you Sue. I'm so sorry. She looked such a little sweetie.
ReplyDeleteSo So sorry. I've lost two of my cats in the last year so I know exactly how it feels. She was a beautiful little dog but at least she had a wonderful life and knew how much she was loved. Fiona x
ReplyDeleteI love reading about your life, although I don't comment often, so was heartbroken to read about Bella. Her life may have been short but it was full of love. Thinking of you all as you grieve for her. Lesley
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Bella. Having just lost Max a couple of months back, I feel some of your pain. They really get under our skins and into our hearts in such a short time don't they?
You made some lovely memories with Bella and I know you'll think of her often.
HUGS to you,Alan and all your fur babies.
Kim
