Goodbye Bella :(

SAD DAY! We had to say goodbye to our dog, Bella. We are so sad, but are so happy we found a GREAT family for her. She deserves it!

This post is just to remember the past 2 1/2 years with her. We had alot of GREAT times and I just love her so much!

WE WILL MISS YOU BELLY BEAR!

This was the day we brought her home! She was so TINY!

Braden was playing with her, and she got so hot...this was the only shade she could find! She has ALWAYS had the funniest personality! 

 My inlaws got their puppy, Maggie, like 2 weeks after we got Bella. They have always been the BEST of FRIENDS!

 She's always had the cutest facial expressions! Just melts my heart!

 The biggest reason we decided to get a puppy is because Braden was working 4pm-4am, and I didn't want to be home alone! Bella has been my shadow ever since! Here she is helping me with Laundry!!

Tracen just loved her when she was this little...he would read to her, show her toys, etc. ADORABLE!

 Life was just ROUGH being a puppy...she would fall asleep all over the place!

 Waiting for Daddy to come home...haha...so cute! She was so funny in our Apt...her "room" was our guest bathroom and that's where she would be if we were gone somewhere and couldn't take her along...she could hear us come through the front door and could slide her paws underneath the door, as if she were reminding us where she was! SO FUNNY! She wouldn't bark or anything, just slide those cute little paws out for us to see!

 Being helpful again..."prewashing" the dishes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Dressed her up as 'TINKERBELLA" Clever, I know! :)

 Bella LOVED riding in the car, not sure why she would climb up there, but she would! She loved to ride in our laps, and tried to do it even though she was TOO BIG...She jumped out of the car once on 10th west, scared me to DEATH! She just jumped right up, only had a few scratches on her nose. She knew most of the time when she was in the car we were going to visit Maggie, so she would always get super excited!

 BELLA + SNOW= PURE HAPPINESS
She loved to play in it. She loved to eat it. She straight up loves the snow.

I remember this being one of the last times we could pick up Bella! She got a tad to heavy for us. She is just the most adorable thing!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA! This is the aftermath of Bella's vaccinations...she had an allergic reaction and her face swelled up like a balloon! So sad...but so funny now looking back on it!

 We took Bell to the duck pond in Wellsville to play fetch, this was her 1st time in water I believe, and she just LOVED it! Jumped right in without ANY reseravations! We have a huge field behind our house, with cows and horses, and I guess there is some watering hole she would go jump in from time to time! She loved swimming!

Here she is after her annual shave! She was always so WHITE afterwards...looked like a totally different dog! Her coat gets so thick and dark in the winter, then it sheds all over! UGH...thank heavens for Petsmart!

The 3 BLONDIES! Back when Bella was allowed to be on the couches...

She loved to be in the middle of all the action!

Such a beautiful puppy! Just look at that face! :)

A day @ the park with BFF Maggie! Bella could play fetch ALL DAY!

AWE...this makes me sad! She is laying in bed with me when I was preggers in this picture...she was always the best snuggler!! She was so sneaky at night when Braden was home {he didn't like her on the bed} she would put one paw on the bed at a time VERY SLOWLY so Braden wouldn't feel her until it was morning! haha...she was SO CLEVER!

Getting to know her NEW LITTLE SISTER! She was so curious about Berkley at first...she would just sniff and sniff and look at her all the time! She was always very gentle with her.

Love my girls!

Having some play time...Bella had a hard time not being able to play with Berkley's toy balls...

Berk just loved looking @ Bella...they were buddies!

Snuggling on the boppy!

Braden and his girls...just chillin'!

Happy Halloween! Bella attempting to give Berkley a big, sloppy kiss!

Bella was always there to help @ bath time! ha.

Even when Berk was older, and started yanking on Bella's hair...she was so patient with her! She NEVER once snapped at her, or barked or anything! She is just the BEST dog and I've been missing her like crazy! I'm so grateful for the time i've had with her, and i'm grateful to the family who adopted her! Bella just loved them immediately and I know they will take WONDERFUL care of her!
Love you Belly Bear!
***LOVE***
