Bella

I am saddened to report that Anthony's' family dog Bella had to be put to sleep today. Bella was an 8 year old Rottweiler who was the sweetest girl around. She had cancer and my in laws did all they could to make sure she was at peace. My wonderful father i nlaw even makes special pasta for all the dogs in the family. Anthony brought Bella home as a puppy and I feel so sad for him. These past few weeks have sucked big time in terms of "bad" news.

When I first saw Anthony's picture on Match.com Bella was in the picture with him and I knew the second I saw that picture that Ant was a sweet, kind and caring soul. It is at times like this where we know deep down our "pets" are part of our family thru and thru. They may not speak but they love us unconditionally and heal us in ways that words cannot.

We have 2 dogs Gomez who is 14 and Ozzie who is 10 months today. Gomez was given to me on my 16Th birthday and to this day he is the best gift I ever got. I am extremely attached to my Gomez, he is a part of my childhood and part of my memories of my father. He was there for me at times where I needed someone. I know one day Gomez will not be here either but I know my dad will have another pal in heaven.

I definately am looking forward to growing older with my 3 boys, Ant, Gome, and Ozzie.
