LadyGrey Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) It was a sudden sickness that snatched her away in a 48 hour period. She had kidney failure due to a very bad case of Leptospirosis. I never saw it coming and never knew I would be saying good bye to my baby girl so soon. She was only 8.5 years old. We lost her sister, Angel, exactly a year ago this month. Angel died of complications from an accident on January 18,2012. Now her sister joins her. Bella, you were my heart dog. You were so bonded with me throughout all the time I knew you. You were with me when I was feeling down, when I was hurting, when I was happy, when I was wierd. You always understood. I will never ever forget you. I remember constantly the many many times we went on long walks together at the lovely national parks here in North Alabama and in Tennessee. You loved the scenery. You loved the picnics in the parks. You loved the rides in the back of the jeep - and I always made sure it was like a big comfy bed back there for you and your sister. Such fun. Every evening when the weather permitted, we would all sit out on the front lawn and watch the sun set. YOu would sit on your big pillow in the soft grass and watch out over the valley at all the movements. The different smells would perk you up. You loved to run in our big back yard and do 14 or 15 spins - in each direction! Such a dignified lady were you. When me and my husband would fight, you would just sit there and look at us with that very intense look with your head raised up just a little and your eyes looking down at us with shame. You were saying "now now you silly children- stop that nonsense"! And we thanked you for it. You were a lady of class and loved everyone who met you on your walks. Now there is such a hole in my heart. I am still in shock and maybe denial. This one will be a real hit. I am lost without you my soul mate. I always needed you. I love you dear Bella. First came home to me. Edited January 13, 2013 by LadyGrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
