2019 - 2023

LITTLE WAS KNOWN ABOUT BELLE'S PREVIOUS LIFE, BUT THIS MUCH WAS KNOWN - SHE WAS LOVED BY HER ADOPTED FAMILY DURING HER SHORT TIME WITH US. WE LOVED BELLE FROM THE MOMENT WE SAW HER IN AUSTIN ANIMAL CENTER.
BELLE WAS BY NO MEANS AN EASY DOG. OUTSIDE, SHE WAS A MENACE TO SOCIETY. SHE WOULD BARK, GROWL, AND LUNGE AT OTHER DOGS AND STRANGERS. SHE WOULD PULL ON LEASHES AND BE STUBBORN, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE OF HER NATURE AS THE QUEEN OF THE HOOD AND SHE KNEW IT.
THAT SAID, THERE WAS A SIDE OF HER AND FEW KNEW ABOUT. WITH HER FAMILY, SHE WAS THE PERFECT ANGEL. SHE NEVER TORE UP ANY SHOES, SHE NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THE HOUSE, AND SHE WAS PERFECTLY CONTENT WITH WHAT SHE HAD. ALL SHE WANTED WAS QUALITY TIME WITH HER FAMILY, AND THIS WAS SEEN WHEN SHE WOULD SIT BY YOU AND BOOP YOU WITH HER NOSE. SHE WOULD ALSO MOVE YOUR HAND WITH HER HEAD TO GET YOU TO PET HER. SHE LOVED DOING ZOOMIES AROUND THE POOL TABLE, PUTTING UP HER PAW BY OUR BEDSIDE FOR ATTENTION, AND PLAYING WITH HER FAVORITE TOY, SQUIDWARD.
EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY WAY TOO SOON FROM US, SHE LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK ON OUR LIVES. SHE MADE OUR LIVES INFINITELY HAPPIER AND GAVE US RESPONSIBILITIES AS PARENTS. NOW, SHE GETS TO ENJOY THE FIELDS OF GRASS AND INFINITE TOYS AND TIME WITH OUR LORD. BELLE, YOU WILL FOREVER BE OUR DAUGHTER AND WE SHALL SEE YOU ONE DAY ACROSS THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.
