Cooked the bones I got from the butcher with sweet potatoes, linseeds. Usually add some carrots to it too, but didn't have any.
Use the broth to make a sweet mix with oat to add to Mellie's daily food.
She cleaned up the pot and ate some of the mix with dog food and sausages.
I gave the pot to melli to clean. Perfect prewash service
I love my pre-wash service.

My daughter went back to Brussels today and Mellie is really sad.
She loves her so much and it was so cute seeing them together.
It's going to be a hard day for her.
Me being sick doesn't help either.

Mellie got a new bone. She has been busy with it for over 2 hours and even tried to eat it on the couch.
I bought this giant bone in ventimiglia yesterday, cut it in half and saving the other half for later.

I have not seen Mellie this happy in a long time.
She has a very special bond with my daughter Doris and is so excited to have her around.
It is really cute to see how she brought all her toys into the room my daughter is sleeping, put them around her bed and slept in her bed all night.
It is going to be heartbreaking when she leaves next week back to Brussels!

Sweet face of crazy Mellie after 3 face scrubs.
Washed her last night and this morning when we were at the park she rolled over a dead bird.
I was getting sick riding the elevator, had to wash her 3 times to get the smell off.
Hair dried and brushed and happy again. But I'm exhausted, almost vomited when I started washing her.

Took Mellie for a long morning walk on the beach, the park and around town this morning.
The old lady was so tired by the time we came to the street light by the apartment, she just wanted to get home and didn't stop for the red light (as I have taught her to do).
Now she is taking a long nap on my bed dreaming about eating something.
She is going to get her fur trimmed and a long shower later this afternoon.

She has developed a bad habit since my wife came back. She begs for food and stares at her when she is eating.
-
She just had food, but saw me eating!
She is so foodie. She smells the chicken liver and wants some.

Mellie has been sitting like this for some time.
We just came back from a long walk, she had food and we played.
After a while, she went to the kitchen and touched the cabinet where I put her treats and sat down like that
She wanted a treat as she used to get from my wife after lunch 😂😂😂She was so cute, I just had to give her a treat.

Sun is out again and she found a spot to nap.
She has been really happy lately. She was hoping on the way to the park and had a zoomy while we were there.
It was a rough year. 3 operations, lots of vet visit, but she is very healthy and happy again.

Mellie tired after a long walk in the morning, find a new sunny spot to do her favorite daily activity, sunbathing and napping.
She was disappointed when the sun disappear under the clouds a few minutes later.

We had a few days of cloudy and rainy days, and Mellie was so excited to finally be able to sunbath, her favorite thing during the day.

I put the stuffings back into the stuffed animal Mellie was playing with and put it away for people to visit our apartment, and she found it.
Pulled it out of the closet, came to me with a "smile" showing off her humping/ripping toy.
Never seen a female dog hump like she does and of course the apartment will be a mess again with all the stuff floating around.
PS she only rips apart her toys nothing else ever.

Saying Goodbye
Yesterday, I finally said goodbye to my beloved friend and Emotional Support Animal, Bella. The in-home euthanasia service was lovely, and she went quietly with her favorite people petting her while comfortably at home. I want to thank everyone who contributed to my Go-FundMe for that expense again. Without all your help I would not have been able to give her as comfortable a send-off as she had. I meant to write about her yesterday, but by the time I got back from burying her beside her mom in my ex’s pet cemetery, I was too exhausted to function. But I want to tell you all about her, and let her memory live on, for she was the best girl anyone could ask for.
The first animal my now ex-husband and I got together was a pure-bred German Shepherd we named Holly, barely a month before I became pregnant with my son. We raised her, then bred her after a suitable period of time with my in-laws’ purebred male dog, Max. We wanted a puppy out of Max, as he was one of the best dogs. Holly gave birth to 6 live puppies, of which Bella was one. My hands were the first to ever touch her, and some of the last as well. She was mine from start to finish.
A young Bella, after her siblings had been homed.We didn’t always plan to keep Bella. We had picked out one of her sisters who was perky and playful and seemed good-tempered. But as the puppies grew, and we began noticing things about them individually, we noticed one who hung back. Who was afraid of all the humans, who hid, whose ears lowered and tail drooped at the slightest provocation. And we realized, this anxious, scared little dog, could not be sent out to some other family who might expect her to be the Fierce German Shepherd, and separate her from the people she had slowly learned to trust and her mother. So, we kept her and named her Bella.
We soon realized that Bella had other difficulties besides anxiety, specifically very severe skin allergies. She was allergic to the flora in the state in which she’d been born. But we loved her anyways, and it soon became apparent that she understood how to comfort me when I was experiencing mental illness episodes. During one complete breakdown she stayed in bed with me, cuddling me and giving me the support and unconditional love I needed in that time.
Bella snuggling in our bed.But as much as Bella was my dog, she was also my son’s. The Teen was a year and a half old when Bella was born, and they were raised side-by-side. My son had no siblings, so he played with Bella endlessly. The one human in the whole world she wasn’t even a little afraid of was The Teen. She treated him like a litter-mate, and he to this day believes in his heart of hearts that he is a dog. They were companions most of their lives, and The Teen was here at the end, sitting beside her and petting her ears as she drifted off to her final sleep.
The Teen and Bella snuggling on a bedNow, my apartment feels empty without Bella, despite the two cats and a turtle who remain to keep me company. Her things are still scattered about, food and water in her bowls, her bed at the foot of mine. I haven’t had a chance to clear them out and trash what can’t be saved and find new homes for the things that can. So I keep expecting her to approach me where I sit on the couch and ask for pets or to go out and go potty. I feel like I’m forgetting to do something when I get home and don’t immediately have to take her out to potty, or when I go to bed without first taking her out. But there is also relief. Relief from the strain taking care of her was putting on me, financially and physically, and relief from the guilt of seeing her struggle and not being able to do more to make her more comfortable. Of course, a little guilt remains, that I could have petted her more before the end, done more to make her last days comfortable. But now that she’s gone peacefully, that guilt has abated a bit. Mostly what is left is a sense of peace that she had a good life, the best life we could give her, and she knew she was loved until the very end.
The last picture I took of Bella, yesterday a few hours before saying goodbyeThe cats are keeping me company, and I’m not despondent. But I miss her, with her soft ears and understanding eyes. I’ll probably never own another dog, my body unable to keep up with the demands of caring for a dog, but even if I do, I’ll never get another one as special as Bella. Truly, she was the goodest and prettiest girl, forever in my heart. 🐕💚
