Penelopesslave Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 What she was: the gentlest soul I have ever encountered. the first dog DH and I adopted together. a survivor of the terrible days after Hurricane Katrina. a shy little old lady with a spine and heart of steel. a catalyst for bringing out the best in people. my comfort during the lonely, scary times in a new city. always ready for a walk or a snuggle session. a double trans-continental traveler (she made it cross-country both vertically and hortizontally!). possessor of the softest fur and the highest mohawk I've ever seen. a dancer and prancer with a surprisingly deep "WOOF!" when she wanted something. always willing to try, whether it was a steep set of stairs to climb or a squirrel to chase. a reminder that there is such a thing as unconditional love in this world. Goodbye, Bell, my Tinkerbell, Stinkerbell, Bellasmella, Miss B, Hot Bell, Boogie Girl. I am so sorry that the last weeks here were so hard for you. Letting you go was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I love you. I miss you. This is how I want to remember you: Quote Melissa, Penelope (LC's Wild Rose) Missing sweet Bell (EMK Bolivar Bell). I'll never forget you.
