1. This was her last "run" in the local Belmont foreshore. I was holding onto Ophelie too and Amy took the picture. I had just been to the hairdressers and it was blowing a gale!
2. Last picture taken of Bella with Amy (you can see she had been crying as her eyes are red) and my darling Trevor
3. My favourite of Amy and Bella on our loungesuite (we have a throw over it as the grand children tend to have grubby little fingers!!!!!)

My eyes cry with you and my heart hurts for you. I just read your other post about having your precious fur baby Bella sent to The Rainbow Bridge. Like many who responded, my hubby and I have gone through saying goodbye to our beloved fur babies over the years. It never gets easy and we miss each and every one. We still have 3 little Chihuahua's to love and cherish and our ole cat who is 19 years old. I shudder to think how it will be at our house when the remaining 4 babies are no longer with us. At one time we had 8 Chihuahuas, 1 fox terrier and the cat. All our babies have been a huge part of our lives and we've loved every minute of it.
Big hugs to you!!!
and a special flower for you, your family and dear Bella.*****

Chris I wish I could be with you right now so we could cry together.

I'm only writting now but I was thinking of you both this morning. Bella is now out of all her pain & running around at Rainbow Bridge waiting for you one day to arrive.

Take care & take one day at a time.

wish I could hug you right now, and talk with you about your beloved Bella, and cry with you.Cherish the lovely memories and pictures. she had a lovely life together with you, even now that you are in pain, keep the thought this was for her to feel no pain anymore. love Gerry

May Bella have the peace she rightly deserves Chris.
And May you treasure the friendship she gave you and your family
Big hugs from London

My heart kept going back to your note and pic of Bella all day. I hope that your loss will get better in time so you can just think of her as that special one.

In my thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of you today. Bella is now able to run pain free in heaven. Take care,Hugs Lynn

These flowers I leave are for Bella. Love is sent to you, Chris.;)

Chris, hope you have heps of pictures and mountains of memories and your heart gets a little lighter with the happy memories.

This was a loving courageous decision you made for Bella with her deteriorating health. You have captured her many looks in photos and will always have her loving memories. Give yourself some time for that empty spot in your heart to mend. Lots of Hugs!

I am sorry Chris. I do know just how you feel. Let go and let it out. It was 9 months ago yesterday that Bebe left us. I still cry when it gets on my mind and I start thinking about how many wonderful yrs she was with me. I miss her and even Patty misses her and she was not with Bebe but 3 yrs. Patty will still walk around and look in the places that Bebe would take her naps away from the traffic in the house. They are all special when you love them and they love you. It is like losing a child even if it is a furbaby child! Hugs and blessings, Linda

Dear Chris, I have only just seen your posting about Bella. I am so terribly sorry. Those wonderful memories of her will be with you for ever. Hugs Sarah.

Bella was beautiful to look at and I am sure if she played around all of the children, she had to have a beautiful personality also. When the time is right you can find another to fill the void that is there now. A new furbaby can make her own place in your heart and lives. Memories of Bella will live in your heart forever. I can assure you that there are very many out there that need the love, care and affection that your family can give it. Each one that enters your life leave their own pawprints on your heart! I am sure that there is one waiting on you to find her/him that needs you more than you need it! Hugs and blessings, Linda

Chris, I'm so sorry for your loss. Our pets are such great company and love us no matter what. I'm sure you will always have a very special place in your heart for her.Hugs, Judy

Sorry to hear this CHRIS BUT I DO HAPPEN TO BELIEVE THERE WILL BE OUR DOGS IN HEAVEN.iknow they have no soul but they will be there i am sure.So in saying that you will see her again!!Thats my story and i am sticking to it .big hugs carolyn

Chris, I am so sorry - that this had to happen - but you did have this week - which was extra to share your love with Bella. It is never easy and there really isn't anything that anyone of us can say - that will take the hurt away - but we do love you.

I know how the loss of a pet hurts. I asked my Mom once if dogs were in heaven. (I was an only child & my dog was my best friend!) She told me "The Bible tells us there's no tears in Heaven. If you would be sad without Sparky, she'll be there with you!" What a wise woman she was. Yes, you'll get better, but always miss her. And those memories will be sweeter & bring more smiles each day! Thinking of ya!!

Hello, although we have never met, the feelings we share are so very powerful. I lost my "HEART" six years ago....and reading your words, well....its like it was yesterday...I LOVE this poem and so I am sharing it with you...today it will make you cry...but in time you will come to LOVE IT as I do today....God Bless you...
Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I am so sorry you lost your little fur baby .love and hugs lenamae
