With a sad heart and a tear in my eye I post here in remembrance of our beloved Belladonna, a rescued Great Dane x Alsatian who came to us 7 years ago from Manchester Dogs Home, and sadly passed over the Rainbow Bridge on Monday this week.
Bella was still a puppy of about 12 months age when we gave her a forever home, she grew to be 7 1/2 stone and 26" at her shoulder, gentle, fun loving, cuddly at all times, loved to play, hated the rain and getting wet, a real classy girl. Alwats ready to defend us, even if nly from the postie, she was nervous around other dogs, we suspect she had been attacked in the past, so waas always worried when other dogs were near, but with gentle care she always found her safety with us.
She tool ill last week, mot being able to keep anything down, after a visit to the vet on Friday we were hopeful of her recovering, but she didnt get any better this weekend, so she went happily into the vets today for exploratory surgery to see if there was a blockage in her tummy (which is what both we and the vets thought it was), only for the vet to find 2 large tumours on her spleen, which were inoperable, there was nothing to be done and she would have deteriorated quickly and been in pain, so she stayed asleep.
She will always be remembered with love, and is now free of pain and hurt to play with her soul sisters, Willow and Lady, whom we will all be reunited with in the Summerlands.
