MY MEMORIES ABOUT MY DOG ELLA

Where should I begin?

Ella was a very good dog. She was not nice to everyone but anyhow everyone loved her. She was also not perfect at all but very special to me. And that is why I love her even more. She was definalely my dog.

Trough all this years we had a really strong relationship to her so it was very sad as I had to say goodbye to her. It took me a long time to speak about that topic without getting emotional or in a bad mood. I thought also a long time before if i should write this but I want to keep this memories and also to keep this pictures in a save place. So I think we should talk about our feelings and maybe I can help someone as well with this little story. I also think it is necessary to talk about sad memories as well.

So that is my little sad story about how I lost a very good friend of mine.



Yes I would say it was definately love at first sight. I mean who else could say "No" to this little fur baby? I could probably never say "No". Ella was a blooded kooikerhondje.









As we could get her home I spend every night with her. I could not let her sleep alone so I went every night to her and console her. I always tried to find a way  in her heart so she would love me as much as I did her. And I think I really did well.
Also I tried to spend as much time with her as possible. I went with her out for long walks, played with her, cuddel her and just give her everything she wanted. And yes maybe it was clearly also my fault that she was getting a spoiled dog but yeah I do not regret anything as she clearly deserved it.

I also always tried to take her fears if she had one. Most of the time with sucess. But she was also a bullhead and if she does not want to do it only food could help. This is also why she may was getting overweight..







She was a funny dog and I had an amazing time with her. I learned so much about animals and life through her. And I am glade that I had the time with her. Also when I now look back at some pictures I still have to smile because she was a happy dog.















































As we found out that she was very sick my heart collapsed. It was a very sad and hard time for our family. Especially when as it came to the point where she did not had the strengh to be herself anymore. It was time to say goodbye.

I tried to spend as lot of time with her as I had left. But she was very sick and suddenly we had only one week left. So I tried to do the best of the time that we still had but it was difficult as she was getting more weak very day.
One big dream of my was to have a last great picture with her to remember her as she was - a beautiful and happ dog. So I asked my parents to take some last pictures of us. And till today I am so so glad that I had ask them. The pictures are still today one of my favorit ones. Also I am so happy that you cannot see how sick she truely was. She was a fighter and these pictures can prove it. And if you think of that she does not like it to be hold the pictures are even better.



















She was so calm and helpful during this shots. She almost looks like she was waiting for me to do more.









After our little photo shot I took her out for a walk and I am so blessed that I also have some pictures where you can see how happy she was when she knew I would go out with her.







I am so proud of her and happy to say that I was one of the people who created a part of this little dogs character. I will never forget her and she will always be a very good memory of mine.

The last walk I did with her was the last one she did as well. I went with her to her favorit place so that she could search for mouses the last time which she loved to do.



A very special moment was when she walked straight into the herbage to the horses. Firstly I was a little bit scared as she may was getting hurt but the horses where very calm and gentle to her.









Particulary the foal was very interested in her. He followed her around and played with her.









Only one days later we decide to put her down. She was not herself anymore. She did not want to eat and she is very hoggish. Also she did not want to walk anymore. The whole day she laid on her bed and did not move. So we could not let her live like this.

It was a very bad day and I will never forget how horrible it was but I think it was the best decision.

I hope that she sleeps well till I will see her again. I miss you my friend.

With much love
