Mandy,

We are thinking of you a Belle. We share the pain I know you are feeling as we read your words of Belle's passing. Loosing a family member is one of the worse things in this life we all have to go through. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that you and Belle will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mandy, I'm so sorry to hear of Belle's passing...
You gave her the best years of her life, and she adored you for it. As Mary said, she is with our group now, romping and playing at the bridge, until each one of us joins with them again....
I am so sorry...may you find comfort in your son and your furkids that are still with you.....

Thanks for your kind words and thoughts everyone. The past couple of days have been very difficult for me and my family. It's been very quiet at our house. Inca's playmate is gone, so everyone just sleeps now. I find myself hoping that those puppy footsteps across the floor are Belle's on one of her many trips to check up on me, even though I know she's gone. I miss her sneaky way of poking her head up under my arm and waiting for me to kiss her nose.

I think one of the biggest tragedies of life is having to say good bye. We miss Belly terribly, but know that life must go on. We will, one day, honor her memory by giving another rescue Dobe a second chance. There isn't much that quite compares to that pokey little nose burrowing its way into your heart.

Our protector, companion and friend...we love you with all of our hearts and will miss you dearly.

I'm too heart broken right now to write much.  My vet came out to the house last night and put Belle to rest in the comfort of my arms.  This has to be the hardest thing I've ever done.  I miss her terribly.

Mandy,

I could not write about this right after you posted the notice of Belle's departure. I had to put together enough of my broken heart to get the words down, not to mention what you must have been felling at the time of posting. The photo of Belle, standing by the door, safe inside, looking out at the green and sunshine, as though she is wondering what was beyond the door, could not have been more appropriate. Your artistic abilities shine-through even at the most troubling times.

Best Regards,

Mandy as I sit here at work I am crying my eyes out. I am so sorry to hear about Belle. I know it hurts and wish there was a way I could take that away for you and your family. I'd like to thank you for sharing your final moments with Belle. That was the most touching thing I've heard.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Pets teach us to live in the now,
to enjoy life as it comes to us,
and to love without asking questions.
They teach us what's most important in life...
and it's heartbreaking when they leave us.

I'm truly sorry for your loss... for I've traveled a similar path. Your photo made me cry for you, for me, and for all of us that love these little souls so much. In time your photos will be a source of joy in remembering the time you had together. Take care...Diane
