February 20, 2009 – February 9, 2026

I fell in love with Bella when I first saw her picture online. She was not quite the lab I was supposed to be looking to rescue, but she stole my heart with those button eyes and nose! To say that I will love and miss her forever is such an understatement.

She was an amazing little survivor, so many times I thought she had given up and then she would rally one more time. This past year was so hard for her. I’m so thankful that she stayed with me as long as she could!

I will be forever grateful for that puppy who would run and jump into my arms when I would return from anywhere, and that same old girl who would wake from her sleep when she sensed that I was home to waddle over to greet me.

Allie kissed your little nose goodbye and sent you to Nia, who was waiting to chase you like when you were puppies. I hope you have found four-wheelers to ride in, school buses to chase and cat food to eat, to your restored little body’s content!

There will be such a huge hole in my heart forever for my little Bean!!
