Ripley Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) Bella passed away Saturday 16 July after suffering considerable pain from a congenital defect. I have posted her problem and the beautiful soul who was Bella in the General Section under the Bilateral HD post here: http://forums.dogzonline.com.au/index.php?showtopic=32379 They Gain Their Wings Shelties do not die, they only gain their wings and fly. They will play again I pray, in those green fields far away. Past the gaits of pearly white, with other loved ones gone from our sight. We will see them once again at a place called Rainbows end, with a wag of a tail and a jump in the air, we will once again become a pair. Don't be sad this day my friend, just look for the bridge called Rainbows end, And remember, "Shelties do not die, they gain their wings and learn to fly". This was a photo I took of Bella when she first came to mum. She had not been groomed here as yet, hence the overgrown coat. However, you can see how pretty her face is - she was obese when rescued.

Ripley Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) She manged to lose weight during her time with mum, but it wasn't fast enough to protect her hips which were already ruined by then. We had no idea. I don't have any recent photos of her on my computer - only these 2 I took the day she came to stay with mum.

Shelby Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Run free, Bella, you will have no pain now. I am sure Bella was very thankful that she found such a loving home with your mum and enjoyed her time there. I know you both had a very hard decision to make. Please give your mum a hug from me when you see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
