Thank you for the update. I wish the news was more positive for Bella. There is still hope though, and I'll keep thinking of Bella and her recovery.

Gini, please let your niece know that many people are praying for Bella during this illness. I hope that the chemo will do the trick for her.

How's Bella doing, Gini? Hoping for a little good news. Update us when you can

Sandra, thanks for asking about Bella, and thanks to everyone for your prayers.

The update on Bella is that her blood tests were good. They didn't show any deterioration of white cells.

The bad part is that Bella has two tumors hanging from her side that are the size of apples - and cannot be removed.

Her next treatment is April 9th.

My niece is realistic about Bella's condition which is so sad. But she wants to do everything that she can to help her.

Prayers on the way for Bella and your neice. It must be very hard seeing your baby go through such an ordeal.

Oh, Gini, I am glad her white cell count is better, but so sad about those two tumors that they can't operate on!!! Bella is still in my prayers.

Thanks for the update Gini. I'm glad to hear about the imorved cell count. But as Logan has said, sad to hear about the inoperable tumors. Your niece is an angel Gini; such devotion. What a very special pair she and Bella make. I'll thinking of them both and still hoping for a miracle for dear Bella. I wish her all best on her April 9th appt. Love , Sandra

It is with great sadness that I share with you that my niece's pit bull, Bella, lost her fight today.

It is exactly six months since the first tumor was discovered.

The oncologist said that she had never seen a case like this one, in so young a dog.

Over the three years of Bella's life she had several unexplained infections and antibiotics seemed to cure her - but they reoccured.

The oncologist thinks that perhaps Bella was born with cancer.

Rest in peace, sweet Bella, free of any pain and discomfort.

You made a young couple extremely happy in your very short three years. You will always be dearly loved.

Rest In Peace, Dear Bella...
You'll be missed

Give your Niece our condolences, Gini.

{{{Hugs}}} to All.
