Cant really write much as i am completely numb, my beautiful girl has been through so much, after losing her leg in nov, we got just short of 3 months with her, her heart was failing and dispite meds, rest and endless love and 24hr care her body was breaking down. Last night she was unable to stand or manage a wee, her abdomen was getting bigger with the fluid and she had no energy, her breathing was heavy due to fluid. After her favourite treat of cat food this morning i decided if i waited any longer she would begin to suffer so made the choice to let her go before that happened.

I held her tight and told her how she was my world and that i owe everything i have today to her........My baby girl is gone and i cant get my head around it, it doesnt feel real. As always now its over i feel i may have let her go too soon and maybe should have given her more time.

I am so sorry for everything you went through and sorry i couldnt help you, i would have done anything to make you better. Thank you for that big kiss this morning.......i will treasure every memory of you for the rest of my life my beautiful girl.
1/6/2002 - 21/2/2010 ..... just 7.5 years old and far too young

I love you so much my Bella Boo you were the best, go any play with Abbey and please god we will all cuddle again one day xxx

I'm so sorry.

What a beautiful girl, Bella.

Having read what you have gone through it certainly sounds like you gave her every chance you possibly could.
Please don't feel guilty I'm sure in your position I'd have made exactly the same choices and tried the same.
You did what was fair for Bella after you'd weighed up all the pros and cons.

Treasure the memories for they can never be stolen away.
However long we share our lives and hearts with our beloved companions it's never long enough.

Another star shining brightly tonight in the sky.

You are in my thoughts - Massive hugs
Kirstine

Mandy, don't ever think that you decided too soon.  Remember, it is only you feeling pain.  Your beloved girl is no longer suffering, and you loved her enough to do the right thing.

I am sure that Bella will wait at the bridge with Abbey for you. 

My sincerest condolences.  {{{{  HUGS  }}}}

By Carrington (****) [gb] Date 21.02.10 19:32 GMT
So very sorry, it's so hard when we lose our beloved companions, we miss them so much, they never leave our hearts and memories, so she will never really be gone.  No matter what life throws at our dogs health wise, for your Bella to know that she was loved so much is all she could ever ask for or want. She had that, so try to take some comfort from it and know that she is now at peace.
By rachelsetters (***) [gb] Date 21.02.10 20:03 GMT

I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful girl. Your selfless act has set her free.
By MandyC (**) [gb] Date 23.02.10 00:55 GMT
Thank you to everyone who has sent their kind wishes......it means alot.

I know from my loss 18 months ago that time is a great healer, but for now things are very painful, and the usual guilty feelings are at the forefront of my mind right now, all the what if's and should i have tried for longer, was her amputation too much, but the biggest feeling laying heavy on my heart is that last year she had a litter and i am sure that would of put her weak heart under strain.......i keep thinking if i knew about her heart then, i would never of had a litter and then maybe she would still be here with me now.
Alfie, Chester, Duchess, Crystal, Bella & Abbey....my beautiful kids, i miss you all so much xxx
By Floradora (**) [gb] Date 23.02.10 20:11 GMT
Mandy sweetheart, I am so sorry for your loss of such a beautiful girl. please do not torture yourself with ifs and buts, you did what was right for your girl and gave her every chance that you could. We all wish for hindsight but unfortunately we cannot go back and we have all done things that with hindsight may have taken a different course. You had a beautiful litter from your girl and her memories not only live in your heart they live on in her babies too. Take care of yourself, do not beat yourself up over this, you are an owner in a million and you must remember that everything you did for your girls you did because you loved them so and cared enough to give them every chance of a good life, it's just one of lives kicks that you have suffered but you will be stronger one day for it and you will remember with fondness and love not regret.

Oh Mandy i'm sat here weeping as i read through these posts..
I'm sooo sorry that it came to this, you both fought through to the end and you did the best thing for her and that is to prevent her from suffering. She knows you loved her very much and she loved you with all her heart.

She was a beautiful girl and such a happy face on her..
You should be proud that you did what you could for her and nothing less than the best was done..

RIP Bella.. xxx

My thoughts are so very much with you Mandy at this time x(((hugs)))
