Bio:
Bella is no longer with us. We had to put her down due to her health . She was a very sick little girl but no one new this as she lived in a kennel with other dogs and never had anyone pay much attention to what she did. Being with me for only a few days I realized she had problems(drinking 10 to 12 litres) of water a day !! We tried many different things with her .I hand feed her and she seem to due better but soon she would be back to the water again a very thirsty little girl. We got blood work done and everything was leaning towards a liver problem or polydypsia.Finacially we couldn't afford any major opperations which were estimated around $2500 to 3000 dollars and she couldn't be in the house because if it goes in it has to go out and being a kennel dog she was never trained to go to the door . I contacted the previous owners and they wouldn't do anything for us and it was breaking my heart that she was failing every week. I finally made the decision that she would have to be put down . This happened on November 10th. It was a beautiful sunny day with a warm wind. I was able to bary her under a apple tree by our brook with my two other Schnauzers and 2 little puppies helping out. It was very sad but calming too and having the gang there was nice. My children and husband and I gathered rocks and made a little mound over her body and this summer plan on planting some flowers for her.
