She had one tooth in her head, was mostly blind, was almost deaf, had a weak ticker and she had an absolute love for her people that filled a whole house from one tiny dog.<\/p>\n

She was our girl.\u00a0 Lilly Belle LaRose.\u00a0 She usually went by Belle, but alternately she was called Smelly Belle, Miss Belle, and sometimes Squirrel Girl.<\/p>\n

I was commuting to work when Debbie called me to say that the clinic called and that Belle had passed away during the night.<\/p>\n

This makes two blog posts in a row where I am talking about losing my dogs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We bought her for Baxter, you know.\u00a0 We had had Baxter for about three months before we decided he needed a buddy.\u00a0 We found Belle in Russellville with a nice older couple whose Yorkie had given birth to one little pup. Belle and Baxter became a duo. The Pit Yorkies I dubbed them.<\/p>\n

She loved us. Me, Debbie, Bradley and Ryan. And Baxter.\u00a0 Everyone else could just go away as far as she was concerned.<\/p>\n

We noticed in the past week that she was not feeling well. On Monday, March 18 Deb took her to the veterinarian where she was diagnosed with a UTI and put on fluids and antibiotics and kept overnight. They called Debbie with the news Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

I am going to miss that little dog that followed me all over the house like she was on a string. The one who wanted nothing more than to be with her people.<\/p>\n

If you were down for a nap, she was more than willing to jump in and nap with you. Watch TV? Sure, right by me in the recliner.<\/p>\n

The house feels really empty now.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n
