Bella Girl

Bella Girl


Friday night feeling worried feeling sad
for I was told you didn't eat your supper
all I could do was watch you like a hawk
watching your move watching your walk

I was in a daze because you weren't yourself
you couldn't get comfortable you didn't want food or water
thought it might be the weather but I knew that other days were hotter

While outside eating my supper I couldn't bear to eat knowing you were in pain
you walked and walked and I watched and watched you
you were scaring me and I knew something wasn't right and boy was it a long night.

Seeing you try to hide under the deck brought tears to my eyes
I followed you and I knew what you wanted to do
I wanted to be close to you so I went to go and get you.

I saw you and you looked at me and told you to come back to me
you looked up at me and I at you and I just knew
it was in your eyes and look of sadness and probably pain
I didn't want my thoughts to be true so I kept on calling your name.

It was in your bed when it told all we called the vet to see what was wrong
we loved you so much and couldn't bear to see you in pain
so we brought you to the vet and didn't expect the news we were about to get

Even now thinking about the most hurtful choice that had to be made makes me sad but I know we didn't want you in pain.
Looking in your eyes you were distant but I thank you for letting us hug and kiss you
please know that lilly and we miss you

You were a happy, lovable excitable girl
you were half of our world
your puppy lilly is here and I know is also missing you (her other half) dearly
I still won't understand why you why so soon it still isn't clear
I wished there were more years

I will think of you each and every day
and going outside will never be the same
it was you and Lilly my two girls
my silly girls just barking at little things like squirrels


It is so quiet without your excitable bark and you alerting us
Waking up this morning with tears in my eyes not hearing your bark or nails on the floor
It was a hard day that's for sure

You were just so happy and everything happened so fast
Though I am glad we didn't let time pass
Taking you to the vet put you at ease

Bella girl you were an amazing girl
love you so much and wish we had more time
you left us with little lilly but it's just not the same without the two of you.

I don't know if it will get easier
I will think of you everyday
With lilly I'll make sure I play with her and tell her you love her
With each Butterfly, bird, or rainbow I see I know you'll be there watching over me

Love you Bella Girl
Please Rest In Peace
