Leave a bone for Belle Bush (1997-2011)

Nicknames: Bellie, Bellie Bell

Sun Sign:  Badges:  Birthday: November 12th 1997
 Likes: To be talked to and played with.

Pet-Peeves: Anyone who does not live here, she does not like strangers.

Favorite Toy: Tractor tires.

Favorite Food: Ol Roy (Red bag) and people food (on rare occasions-usually to take pills).

Favorite Walk: Up the road.

Arrival Story: We decided that we wanted to find another pup for Donald, since his Bear (Slippers' littermate) had died from Parvo. Once again we hit the give aways. This time we found Belle in Rutland, OH. She is only a month younger than Slippers, so they bonded right off. One of her sisters went to my niece Emily and now lives at my parents' house. Once again, a Disney name--Belle. The lady that owned her mom (Elkhound) had a daughter who wanted to mate her male (Border Collie) with Belle's mom. The pups were not quite what they expected and I'm not sure if they even kept one of the pups. The following day, after we brought her home, we found that she had a bad case of lice . (My first experience with dog lice.)

Bio: Belle's mother Casey was full-blooded Elkhound and her dad was full-blooded Border Collie. She is quite the dog. The Border Collie is quite strong in her senses, she guards and believes she needs to protect our home. She bites at the tires on the tractor.
Update: 7/14/2011 Today Belle went to the Bridge following a stroke. God Bless you Sweet Belle; you were a gift from Heaven and we were blessed to have been your family.

Dear Belle,
It has been 3 months today since you left us. It is still hard to believe how much can change in just one hour.
Donald is really missing you Sweetie. He was talking a couple of days ago about how there seems to be a pattern. How he had his kitty Joshua and Mary Beth had his fur-bro Samson. Joshua left for the bridge before Samson did.
Then they shared the care of Nakoma, until we brought Simba home to live with us. Simba became his girl and Nakoma was Mary Beth’s. Simba left for the bridge in 2005.
After Nakoma had pups, Donald picked out Bear for his and Mary Beth chose Slippers. Bear died from parvo at 10 weeks, while our Sweet Slippers survived. Then we found you Sweetie, and Donald loved you dearly. Now you have left him also.
Donald is hurting right now. The others do keep him on his toes. He loves them so much, but he still has that empty spot that belonged to you and will always be yours.
I have noticed that we are spending more time with your furblings now. If there is one positive speck from loosing
you, it is that we once again realized just how short the time is that we are blessed to be with our furbabes.
Love and Miss you Belle,
Mom and Donald

October's Party
By: George Cooper
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came—
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly "hands around."

This is an entry that I had hoped would not have to be written for quite some time. Today Sweet Belle suffered a stroke. My son and I rushed her to the vet's office. She was not doing well and while the vet said we could try, her breathing was already beginning to soften.
Her Donald, looked at me with tears as he made the decision to allow her to cross to the Bridge in peace.
I remember when we met her for the first time, she was only about 8 weeks old. A ball of love. Since then she has been such a good dog, a great friend to Donald.
We joke that Donald cannot afford a girlfriend, he already has 5!!
She is resting now near Simba, her dear 2nd mama dog. Simba was so good to the pups (Belle and Slippers) they adored her. Tomorrow would have been Simba's 16th birthday, Belle will be there to help Simba celebrate.
Please remember Donald and Slippers. Slippers and Belle have always been together. They always went to the vet together and have always been near each other. Slippers was wondering around looking.
Goodbye Belle,
Love Mom
