I knew I'd have a cry reading this, Harriet -- you captured the way our lives are woven around them, enveloping them as they do us, with their love. Beautiful Bella. I lost Skye and Ralph both suddenly, taking them to the vet and coming home alone. It still breaks my heart to think of them, but these days I can think of the fun times more. Sending love xxx
Thanks Kay, it's been an odd, melancholy week. The tears have stopped (mostly) but the house just feels wrong without her here. Thanks for reading and all the love, Hx
I hated that quiet. When I lost Skye I still had Ralph, but when Ralph died I couldn’t bear it. I don’t know why (I swore I wouldn’t) but then 10 days later Maeve arrived 😳
It's been so quiet, especially with Andy away as well. Monday afternoon when I was completely on my own was yuck even music didn't feel right, and I always have music playing. We had a quick chat before he went away about the next dog (obviously out of Bella's earshot) and we will, I'm just not sure when. I mean, I *might* have already done a little online searching so I'll see how Andy reacts to the quiet when he gets home tomorrrow.
I think it’s so hard for us to not have a dog when they’ve been such huge parts of our lives. And where you live is perfect for one. Don’t feel bad for thinking of another — I did for ages. Xxx
I'm so sorry for your loss, Harriet. Our animals are special and loved and they are family. This is a beautiful and heartrending homage. I feel I got to know her a little through your words and can say Bella truly was bella inside and out ❤️
