TW: Pet loss experience
Yesterday, we laid our sweet girl, Cecilia Bell, to rest. It was sudden and unexpected, she was awesome one day and then the next, things were really wrong. We were blessed to bring her home for her final hours and love on her and tell her how much we love her.
We cuddled with her and gave her all her favorites pets and scratches. We created art with her, painted paw prints on canvas, and made sure to add her paw print to our new family mailbox. We snuggled and cried and loved her until it was time to go.
When we arrived at the vet office they were so kind and patient with us. I held my baby and I didn’t let go, I told her how amazing she is and how loved she is, I made sure she knew just how incredible she is. After the vet told me she was at peace I couldn’t let her go. I held her until they came back so she wouldn’t be alone.
She was beautiful, inside and out. And I truly mean that, her fur was so soft like satin, her eyes were rainbow, and her face was the sweetest puppy-dog face you’d ever seen. But her soul, her beautiful soul was what everyone fell in love with. She was the most loving and kind girl, a brilliant big sister, and a special little sparkle in our lives.
Words cannot express how much we love you, Cil. You were the best dog any family could have wished for. You were my best friend and my first baby, I really thought we had more time together and I can’t believe this is even real life. I love you, I miss you, you are my baby forever. Our sunshine pup💔☀️
