My lil Belle,
   You passed away Friday Oct.3, 2008.  You were a few weeks shy of turning 4.  I remember coming to the door to get you.  You had on a Christmas bandana.  You were so tiny and loved to cuddle with me.  You picked up so well on potty training.  Me and your granny took care of you and raised you to be the sweet dog that everyone loved.  I remember the good times that we had.  You were my cuddle bug and you always loved to be wherever I was.  I couldn't have asked for a better dog.  You sat still when I groomed you, you jumped in the tub when I asked to get in the tubbie, loved to speak (ruff!), and "do pretty!"  Everyone was amazed how human-like you were.  I will miss coming through the door and seeing that "nubby" go to town because you were so excited to see me.  You made it easier living away from home.  When I got home from Basic Training and AIT, I was so happy to get back and be with you.  You've been sick off and on and now you are with God.  I hate that you were taken so quickly, but mommy is so glad that you didn't suffer.  You brought smiles to everyone that was around you and made people laugh at how witty you were.  I think of you everyday and miss you dearly.  You are in Heaven now and someday mommy will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.  Mommy loves you so much baby girl.  I miss you, always!!
