Alison,

I am so sorry about Bella. Although she did not deserve that unfortunate experience that left her lame, she sure was lucky to have you as a friend/companion/owner/caregiver. You really went above and beyond for that sweet little dog. I have so much respect for you because of that. You gave her the best last months she could have asked for.

I hope you are finding peace with her passing. Bless you for holding her close to you in her last moments, that's also not easy but it was the kindest thing for her.

I know that my gentle yellow lab, Beener, is up in heaven happily showing her where all the good places to run and play are and where the best water holes to swim in and the best toys to play with are My Beener and all of the other dog angels will take good care of Bella.
