Bella's Battle is Over

[Shari & Bella M.]

It is with great sadness I am posting about the loss of our sweet doodle girl, Bella. She had developed and abscess and colitis in the last week and was battling those infections, all the while the cancer became very aggressive and spread into her spleen. We had to make the decision to help her cross the rainbow bridge this evening. It was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. It was even more difficult to walk through the door and see all of her "things". My little ones (ages 2 and 3) don't realize she is missing yet, but I am sure they will soon be asking. Please continue to pray for healing for my family as we will be missing her greatly throughout the coming days and weeks.
Thank you all for your heartfelt thoughts and prayers throughout this battle. She is running cancer free now. Rest in Peace my sweet girl!
May God Bless you all and your sweet doodle babies.
Much Love,
Shari

Thank you all for your kind words, thought and prayers.  Today has been very difficult. I miss her so very much. I continue to look for her...lying in the kitchen or listening for the clicking of her nails on the hardwood coming to look for me.  I even moved her food dish and my 2 year old put it back in its place. My emotions have gone from anger and frustration towards cancer, to guilt for not helping her fight more, to sadness and grief knowing that the cancer was winning and she was feeling terrible. My tears continue to uncontrollably flow.  I know it has to get easier.  I appreciate everyone here and the support and love I feel from you all. Thank you again.

Shari, my heart goes out to you and your family. I'm so sorry. We'll continue sending you our prayers for healing and strength and that your tears change to beautiful memories in time.  Bella too has earned her Angel wings.  Will be thinking of you.

Shari, I know I sent you a message earlier but just wanted you to know I am thinking about you and hope that you are doing ok.

Shari -- I am so incredibly sorry to hear this news.  I know what you have been through and how awful it is to have to make that decision.  Just know that she is at peace and pain free now.  I'm sure that Sophie was there to meet her and show her the way.    I know at this point it doesn't feel like it will ever get any easier, but I can tell you it will.   Some day soon your tears will turn to thinking of the memories.  One thing that I know helped me a lot was when I looked at photos of her from her last few days compared to her pictures from a year ago.  I could see just how tired she was and it helped me to know we did what was best for her.  I hope you can find a way to find that same peace.  Hugs to you and your family.  If there is anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to drop me an e-mail.
