Goodbye Prayer to Puppy Bella


Monday, October 6th, our precious puppy Bella who was 5 1/2 months old, passed away. Bill and I had taken her in the week before and unfortunatly on Monday, her symptoms had progressed. We were informed that after several diagnostic exams, Bella was born with a rare genetic birth disorder of the entire colon, causing a rapid decline in her functioning. Decisions had to be made about her care which was very difficult. Bill and I thank my brother Eric, who is the Vet Tech who works right alongside Dr. William's at Oakdale Animal Hospital. They treated our family, including our Bella, with love, dignity and grace. We will miss her deeply....we all loved her, especially Ryan-Parker and Porter.

May the Lord watch you and keep you-Ashley

To Bella

She arrived in late Spring
Like a fresh gentle breeze
She was a small little baby just four weeks old
Curious and hopeful
A loving, trusting pup...

She was strong and unflinching
Vivacious and lively
She was radiant...she was youthful
She was ours...

We shared her life with our children and she taught them so many things in return.

Now it is Fall and this season had to come,
But this time she has to go...
We cared for her deeply
and this in Heaven, she will know.
