After a long battle with perianal fistulas, my Bella started hemmoraging yesterday and I had to make the decision to have her put down today.  My heart is heavy...she was my best friend...

In 30 years, I never had a dog before her I considered breed-worthy...despite my having prepared a really nice whelping box for her, she decided to have her first pup in the wood storage compartment of my fireplace...



She loved her work...





Rest in peace, my friend...I love you...



Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Sometimes it feels like a heart isn't large enough to hold the grief.

Said "good-bye" to four-legged friends too many times.

Hope the hole in the air where Bella used to be is filled by her spirit.

I too know what you're going through. The grim reaper is reaching out for my brother-in-law. 

I'm sorry for your loss Ex.

Thanks, PH; I haven't commented on your situation with your mom since I really don't know what to say...lost my mom last June and my younger brother last fall...my mom died of lung cancer after smoking three packs of cigarettes a day and my brother drank himself to death.

Bella was just a dog...a really great dog but...
'just a dog' my butt.  You put every bit as much into them as the two kids you helped to raise.  I see no difference in feeling the loss you do.  And I'm sorry that you are grieving right now. :(
Looks like I've come full circle.

I am with CC on this one....Bella was like your kid...you put your heart and soul into raising her.  I know how much it hurts to have to make that decision for your pet...I had to have my Mr. White(cat) put down last September....it still hurts.  Sorry that you are grieving ...

That's terrible news, Ex. What a fine looking pup. I'm sure she was a great companion for not nearly enough years. Best wishes,  M&P

She was aptly named. There's no such thing as "just love". There are obviously different forms, but who can rationalize the depth?

I know you'll miss your friend tremendously. :(

Sorry for your loss Ex.  She looks alot like my son's Shepard mix.  I am not looking forward to the end of him either.  We put our old dog Werner down a year and a half ago, and I miss him everyday.  He was the first house dog we had, and we really bonded.   :'(

As PH said, another ball of fur will come along, and while it will never replace Bella, it will help soften the blow.

Ex, I  am very sorry for your loss....ten years ago, two months after my mom passed, I also lost my dog, that i have had for ten years....he was MORE than just a dog....he was honestly, next to my wife, the BEST friend I could ever imagine to have....he was part german shepard and part collie...and I honestly believe part human.......THAT dog always KNEW when I was down or upset....and he could ALWAYS find a way to make me feel better.

THAT was a tough year for me...losing a Mom AND a BEST friend....

so, I DO feel for your loss.
