Little Belle passed to the Rainbow Bridge on May 10, 2006.  I know this will sound bad but Belle's passing did not devastate me as much as Justy's did.  You see, we knew Belle had cancer and that it was only a matter of time.  

It was back in early April when we found out.  I was sitting at my desk and Belle and Justy were up here in their beds as usual.  I looked over at Belle and noticed a "growth" in her mouth.  I looked closer and it looked like she had an infected tooth because there was a tooth coming out of the growth.  This on a Friday evening.  I called the vet early Saturday morning.  As usual they made room for me.  They are SO good.  Dr. Morse took one look and I could tell that it wasn't good.  He said it looked like cancer.  We made an appointment for the following Monday morning for him to remove as much of the tumor as possible and to send it to the lab.  It was cancer.  Karl and I decided not to put Belle through all the chemo and stuff.  I just don't think Belle would have understood.  If someone tells you that you have cancer you understand when they give you chemo and you feel like total crap.  Belle would not have understood why I kept bringing her to this place where they hurt her and made her feel bad.  So, we just decided to keep her here with us and make sure she was as comfortable and happy as possible.  I watched her closely.  When I tried to give her some chicken on May 9 and she wouldn't eat it (chicken was one of Belle's favorites) I knew it was time.  I called the vet and made the appointment for the next day.  Karl and I stayed there with her until she had passed on.  We held her, loved on her and told her how much we loved her.  I also told her to tell Justy hello for me when she got to the Rainbow Bridge.

This page will be filled with my favorite pics of Belle.  She was such a sweet baby.

I love you so much Little Belle and I miss you terribly.....
