Bella passed over the Rainbow Bridge on Weds Oct 11, and her passing has left a huge hole In my heart. Arthritis in her hips bothered her and finally even medication wasn't helping. I knew the time had come but it didn't make things easier. She was my 13 1/2 year old and In her senior years, she became the watchdog of the house after my other sheepdog passed. She was a lucky girl, got to travel to Cape Cod the last four summers and loved every minute of It. I still remember my niece and I picking her up on Thanksgiving day all those years ago. She Was so shy and terrified of everything. My beautiful Bella girl - you'll be greatly missed. Thank You for bringing her into my life.
