Bella has passed on

For those of you who knew our German Short Hair Pointer, Bella I have sad news. While doing what she loved to do most, camping with mom (ok and me too), Bella succumbed to her long time battle with liver cancer.

Diagnosed a year ago, almost to the day, she had been given 6 weeks to 3 months to live. Bella refused to "be sick" and stayed playful and stoic as the months passed. I credit her will to live and Milk Thistle capsules for her beating the odds.

In the end, her system shut down quickly, giving us no option but to ease her passing while we were camping at the Balloon Rally in Albuquerque NM. She will be sorely missed.

Sorry for your loss. As Omahagirl said she has passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. Losing a pet is never an easy thing to do. Just remember the good times and that will help you get through.

I’m so very sorry.

You will be with her again one day. Until then, enjoy the memories and be thankful for the time you had with her in this life.

Bella, even though your time here was brief in the grand scheme of things, you brought your owners and friends years of great memories. There will many new friends waiting for you on the bridge and we'll expect to meet you in the future.

I’m so sorry for you, I too lost my Minn Pinn names Miles three years ago and still miss him to this day. Hopefully the good memories will help ease the pain.

Sorry to hear about that Lou. I know exactly what you are feeling. I didn't say much about it on the forum, but shortly after Goshen, we had to have Abby put down for the exact same reason. It progressed so fast that we literally had no other options.

Bella was a beautiful dog. It was clear to everyone how much you loved her. I hope once the grief fades, you are left only with great memories

Tim

Losing a long time pet is extremely hard, but the memories of all the good times will stay with you forever and help ease the pain.

From another dog lover... May God's Grace give you peace. I believe dogs have a soul of some sort and are truly mans best friend. They are loyal to the end and faithful beyond belief.
