Memorial for Bella

Yesterday, we said goodbye to Bella (formerly known as Anabelle, named for the doll from the horror movies). We adopted her when she was just over 10 years old, after she'd spent months at the humane society, who rescued her from a situation where her and two other dogs were not being cared for.

She outlived her adopted sister, Marlie, and stayed with us just over three years. Her last day was spent having a long car ride, eating a cheeseburger and some ice cream, then getting a whole package of peanut butter cups at the vet.

We miss her terribly, though we knew since getting her that our time together would be brief. One of the cats has since taken over her bed. If anyone feels so compelled, please donate to your local animal shelter and/or pet food bank.
