OUR FRIEND HAS LEFT US

this changed enormously

it had come to the point that I could safely take her on off leash walks around the neighbourhood (I waited til it was dark and no danger of small humans to be distracted by). I'd carry the leash and she'd sashay along smartly - sitting at corners without being asked/prompted.

From life in a crate to walking off-leash. She came a long way - and still sounded like a bubble machine when she snored.

I am so sad that your little dog died, I still love and remember every dog that ever graced our lives. Losing loving creatures is a stab in the heart, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry to read of the loss of the lovely Bella.

My thoughts are with the both of you.

I know how lonely a house can be without a pet - I've been cat-free for over a year because I just couldn't take that step.

Very sad to hear this Beth.

It never gets any easier.

You gave her the best life

I join the others in offering my condolences on the loss of your lovely Bella.

What a lucky girl to have had you both as her companions, every dog should be so blessed.

Thank you boomer - and all of our good friends.

We miss the bubble machine and our other loved, and loving, canine companions greatly.
