Going to See Ella, But Ella’s Gone

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Lucy: For those of you who don’t know Ella, she’s my BFF. Her folks are Mom and Dad’s BFF’s so that works out good. But she lives 3 hours away and we don’t get to see each other much. This is Ella from several years ago.

We love each other. We’re always so happy to be together.

But everyone just found out on Wednesday that she’s dying. Cancer.

We were hoping she would at least make it through the weekend. Me and Mom packed to leave after work on Thursday to go see her and tell her we love her and say goodby before she crosses the Rainbow Bridge. Then, we got the texts from her Mom. She wouldn’t eat or drink. She wouldn’t potty. She could barely walk. She was struggling to breath. She was in pain. The joy in her life was completely gone. They had a final vet appointment for 3:30 on Thursday, the day we would have gone to say goodbye and give her all our love. Now she’s gone. We just came home instead of making the three hour trip there. Nothing will ever be the same without my BFF. I hope her brother, my boyfriend, Achilles is OK.

Ella’s Mom made this memorial for her.

Goodbye Ella. We hope you find your little schnauzer brother Piper and chase the bunnies with him again. You will be always in our hearts.

A Sad Lucy and Mom

  13. How heartbreaking, I am sorry you did not get to say goodbye to your friends, but look for her in your dreams, dogs are much better at remembering their dreams. If only humans were so lucky

  18. Oh now Mom’s starting to cry again. She woke up with red and puffy eyes this morning. But she says the pain will pass and the good memories will remain. Maybe Ella will come to me in my dreams like Angel Lexi does to Xena. Lucy

  30. Oh my…..so very sad and sorry that you have lost such a sweet friend. Sometimes we are asked to bear some very hard things in life and losing a dear pal or family member is just so unfair. Just know that your BFF will ALWAYS be with you – – – in that special place in your heart.

    Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
