Good morning everyone. It's been a while since I posted on mylot. I was wanting to get caught up which I have to some extent. I've missed writing as I always seem to have something to say 
Over the weekend, I was going to have some pictures made at Walgreens. Well, their program pulled pictures from everywhere and up popped pictures of Bella that I forgot about. They were in google pictures. It caught me by surprise and I started crying my heart out. This is the first time I have looked at pictures of Bella since she passed away.
Some of her pictures are above. I still want to cry looking at her pictures, but its getting better. It will be 6 months at the end of this month since she passed. I had pictures made of her and Daisy. We now have pictures of them in the living room and I have a picture of Bella on my desk.

@moffittjc Yes, this is true. It just doesn't seem like it's been 6 months already. One thing that is hard for me to get past is wondering if I did something to cause her to have heart failure. Did I drop a pill and did she get a hold of it? Most of the time, I can push it out of my mind. Every once in a while, like now, it comes back.

@simone10 Things will get better with time. You'll always carry her memories in your heart, and now you'll also have photos to look at.

@DianneN I think so too, if we ever really do. I don't know if I will ever not want to tear up when I think of her or see her picture. Also, I can't help but wonder if it was something that I did or didn't do that caused her to have heart failure. I take a lot of pills and I wonder, did I drop one, and she found it? I try not to think about it but everyone once in a while, that thought creeps back in.

@DocAndersen Yes, she was very good at that. She was very territorial and that's one of the reasons she barked so much. Now Daisy is a different story. She runs and hides

@simone10 my guess is she felt she was supposed to protect you as well

@Juliaacv I know how you feel. I keep thinking about getting another dog for Daisy but I keep talking myself out of it because I feel like it wouldn't be fair to Bella's memory. Plus I'm 64 and my brother has health issues so if we were both gone, who would I leave another dog to?

It's sad to lose a pet and Bella certainly was precious to you. I'm happy you shared her pictures and she's so adorable. She brought so much joy into your life that I hope these pictures make you smile as well as those few tears

It has been very sad to lose Bella. I know this may sound silly saying this about a dog, but she was my best friend. I miss her every day. The pictures do make me smile as I remember when they were taken. I have a video of her barking which she was famous for...lol. It's a little harder to see the video but I still smile through my tears.

I found this :
I hope it helps you.
How do you cope with the loss of a pet? Some people assume pet grief hurts less than human grief, but they couldn’t be more mistaken. There’s a poem I wanted to share that can help you mourn the loss of a pet. It's called The Rainbow Bridge Poem...

It's so hard to lose our pet friends. I opted to get less memories on Facebook because pictures of the sweet cockatiel I lost kept popping up. I didn't want to look at pictures of her yet. Same thing starts happening with people, too. I'm so sorry for your loss.

What cute pictures. We have pictures of our dogs that have passed on display as well. They will always be missed and in our hearts.
