June 13, 2007

Yesterday was a sad day for me...it was Belle's Birthday. Not that I sat around moping all day, but I did keep catching myself thinking about her. I would walk by the picture of her in the kitchen and stop for a second to think about her. I miss that sweet sweet girl. Belle would have been 12 yesterday. I can't believe it will be a year in August that she left us so suddenly. What a great girl she was...so sweet and gentle with the kids. So kind to other dogs and always playful and loyal. Although I don't miss her taking up half the bed for sure...but the couch gets lonely and when the kids are at school there is nothing at my feet anymore other then a few legos and some army guys I keep stepping on. Heres to you Belleee Girl. We miss you tons and will never forget you. ____________________________________ Journaling Reads: What I wish I knew about having Belle, our dog. * Going away is very expensive. * Dog sitters are a must. * You will not have a nice carpet or furniture for a long time to come. * Sleeping at night will be very tight. * You're not the only one that has to go pee in the middle of the night. * Forget keeping your work clothes nice and clean. * A weirmaraner can rest its head on the counter. * No party food is safe. * You will not have a nice lawn. EVER!!! * Jealousy is very apparent in animals. What I am so glad I do know about having Belle, our dog. * Love between family and dog is more wonderful then one can imagine. * She does become a HUGE part of you family. * You do treat her like one of your own children. * Your kids will love her more then you could ever know. * She will allow the kids to dress her up and take naps on her. * She will walk without a leash for you. * She will love you, even when you are upset with her. * She will cuddle with you when you are happy, sad or even mad. * She will keep you warm at night. * She will love you unconditionally. * You will soon begin to feel sad for the day she is gone. * You will want her to live forever.

  2. Glad you blogged and you made me cry since I feel the same about my harley. I will not miss those taking over the bed but our walks together her sneezing in my face, when the day does come that she is gone I will think back and be glad she is in my life.

  5. Gulp...You will want her to live forever...instantly makes the tears come, because I too have loved a pup and wanted the very same thing. I believe that she will.
