Our sweet Bella,
We rescued you 12 years ago before you could be euthanized and since that day, you have brought nothing but joy to our lives. We want you to know how much we love you and since we have so much love left to give you, now that you are gone, our grief is unbearable. You had been sick for over two years and we felt that we should let you be at peace, since your medication was no longer working to stop the gagging and coughing from your collapsed trachea. Hearing you wheeze was heart breaking. Watching you no longer able to get comfortable on the bed or couch was gut wrenching. Hearing your little joints crack and the whimper you would sometimes give while I was removing your harness from you after a walk made me think you were in pain. I didn't want to let you go but I didn't want you to suffer. In a perfect world, you would have been able to tell me how you feel and what you wanted. But you couldn't, so the decision was made to have you peacefully put to sleep at home. Now here I am, regretting that decision. Feeling like I let you down. It will forever haunt me. But some days I am able to clear my head and make myself understand that we did it for you. We did it so that you could be free from all your pain and from the diseases that riddled your body. We did it because that is how much we loved you. I hope you know that. I hope that if you are able, you can come see me in my dreams and let me know you are happy, full of life and have a healthy body. The love that your dad and I have for you could feel the ocean a million times over. I hope you are alive, on the other side somewhere, running through a field of flowers, peeing all over the place, lol, because that is what you loved to do. Be free my sweet, sweet baby girl. ♥
