Sweet Bella

My sweet Bella...

It was March 6, 2016 when I met you and it was love at first sight.

You were my dream dog ever since I was a kid, so when a friend asked me to adopt you, even if you were about to turn 5 years old, I didn't have second thoughts and I, excitedly, said yes.

You became part of the family and made my days all stress-free, especially when you did my most favorite thing -- when you pressed yourself against me.

Thank you for giving me five beautiful babies on your first delivery and two cuties on your last.

I am happy that I got to tell you how much I love you every day. I will miss touching your forehead. I will miss those times when we would look at each other, eye to eye.

Never again will I be able to rub your soft furry hair and hug you tight as I rub your head.

Others may refer to you as a pet. But you are much more than that. You are somehow connected to my soul so when I lost you, a part of me died as well.

It's your 9th day today... and I still miss you. I love you, my Bella. Rest In Peace.
