Bella

I helped Bella to the bridge this morning. We were having aggression problems and I think all her ills were making her weaker so Nigel was less submissive. After 3 fights in the house in 2 weeks I feel I made the right decision. I will miss the sweetness she had in her though. She still had so much love for me...more than any other I have had. I will miss you girl.

Wendy, I am so sorry for your loss. Even though you did the right thing, it still hurts. I hope your heart heals soon.
So sorry, hard decision to have to make but for the best.
:cry: :cry: Hoping your sweet memories of Bella will help comfort you during this very difficult time. :cry: :cry:
Really sorry. RIP Bella, have fun over the Bridge darling. xx Say hello to all our angels.
Wendy, this saddens me so much! :cry: :cry: I know you always did your best with Bella to help her overcome her problems. Didn't know she was physically sick, too. I know it's a hard decision to make, but know you did what your heart told you was the right thing to do. I hope your heart stops hurting soon.

I'm sorry for your loss Wendy. :( :ghug:
Wendy..I know you are hurting but please know that you gave Bella a loving, warm, comfortable home. You made sure she had her meds everyday. And I know how much you loved her. Please remember all the wonderful things that you did for her ~~

Run free Bella...Duncan is waiting for you at the bridge~~~~ :ghug: :ghug:
So sorry for you loss. :ghug:
It is a hard decision even when you know they are in misery. We want to keep them here for our own self interests......but we can't. Good by Bella. You tried, but it wasn't going to happen.

:ghug: I'm sorry for your loss, Wendy :ghug:

So sorry about Bella. You did your best to turn her around but it was not to be. The kindest thing was to release her from the demons that were troubling her. Run free at the Bridge, Bella.
So sorry for your loss. God speed Bella!
Wendy-so very sorry for the loss of your sweet girl Bella. :ghug: :ghug:

I am sure hugging Nigel helps. It is good to have the distraction of his handsome furry face.
Sincere condolences, Wendy, for the loss of your Bella - you gave her your all which is all that can be expected of any owner. Nigel will be a real comfort during your time of sorrow.





Missing my Patch.
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
You did so much for her. It's just so hard to make that decision.
Thank you for being Bella's hero. You did the hardest thing, the very one thing that you knew it would break your heart into thousands of pieces but was also the only option to help Bella. Thank you for being so selfless :ghug:
:cry: I am so sorry for your loss.
It must have been a tough week and a hard decision.
It is so difficult to let them go. God speed Bella. :hearts:

She will stay in your heart forever. :hearts:
Tons of hugs. :ghug:
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
I'm sorry for your loss :cry: :ghug:
So sorry for your loss. It is never easy. Hugs to you and your family
I am so sorry. I just now saw this post after a phone call told me.
Oh Wendy i know we talked about it but didn't know you had made the decision. I do wish you had called me.
I am so very very sorry. Bella was unique in her own way.
I know she was so very special and you were wonderful to her, which i will always appreciate.
You went above and beyond...........

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of you beautiful sheepie girl, Bella. I'm going to miss your stories/pics of her. :ghug: to you during this tough time.

Tears,
I'm very sorry.
By the way Ali...I sent you a text after the vet trip. I am still not up to talking on the phone...so I text.
Wendy i never received it!!!!!!
I know you are upset. Call when you can.
Wendy-

I only just saw this! I'm so, so sorry!!! You must be so heart broken. I don't have words for what I wish I could say, and I doubt it matters, as nothing any of us could say would make it "better". You're in my thoughts.

with a hug and some tears;
Allison
I received a condolence card from my vets office today. Of course I am crying again, but everyone in the office wrote on it, including all 3 Dr's. This is not the usual practice in that office, but they all loved my Bella...and my vet had the same history with her that I did. I took one look at all the signatures and cried again. I know my girl was loved in spite of her quirks.
How it must comfort you to see all the posts here and on FaceBook and now, from your vet.

Some would say that Bella was loved, BECAUSE of her quirks.

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Wendy, I am so very sorry. :(

:ghug:
Wendy, so sorry to hear the news about Bella. The time we have together with
them is so short. All the quality time you spent with her, she knew she was very
loved :hearts: .

Hugs to you and your family,
Zahra
I feel like you all knew my sweet girl. My heart is still aching but I am crying a bit less. :ghug: Thank you.
Wendy,
I've been calling Cally "Bella" all week.
I've always missed that strongheaded girl.

But as wieht her father, you will never get over that funny girl.
Ali
Wendy, I am sorry for your loss. :cry:
Thanks all. I am doing better, Nigel is playing with cookies again, and I will resume training classes with him soon. I always said I never wanted a female OES, but I have come to realize that everything Bella did was big, big bad behavior, big health issues, big mouth (loud) and the biggest cuddle and the wiggliest butt you ever saw. She will always hold a BIG place in my heart for the short time I was able to have her with me. I miss those big brown eyes.
