My lovely dog Bella finally reached the end of her road on Wednesday 5th September 2007. Bella came to us at age 6 months when she was found after having been dumped in the bush around Kyenton, Victoria. She was a funny looking dog who had mange when we took her into our family but she was a loyal and loving dog who made our family her own. Because we thought she was beautiful, we named her Bella.
Bella raised about five kittens and Phoebe (Febee) who came to our family when she was 6 weeks old. She was patient, kind and a good disciplinarian when needed for kittens and puppies. She never hurt anyone in her whole life.
Bella developed an aggressive cancer about a month ago which quickly took over her body regardless of what we tried to do. Bella was 16 years and a couple of months old when she was laid to rest two days ago. We all miss her so much, particularly Phoebe who keeps looking for her friend. Thanks go to all our friends who realise how much a part of our family Bella was and who have sent condolences to the whole family. RIP Bella. You are sorely missed.

Oh, that's so sad, sympathies go out to you. Bella looks like a real character in these pics, I love the one where she's stretched out in glee on the grass. She almost becomes part of it.
A wonderful tribute, i loved reading Bella's story.
