My precious dog Stella died today.
Stella was mauled by a pit bull that broke into my friend's yard. Her intestines were exposed when I found her.
Her name was Stella Luella. 12 yrs of a healthy,strong, and feisty dog. My little best friend as I journeyed through life as a single women.
My first thought was I can't survive this, but an instant later I thought yes I can.
The pain is unbearable right now. She suffered with a terrible dog attack, then died finally from a stroke, the whole experience was ugly.
Nothing pretty about death for people or beloved animals. I think the pain in life gets you ready for your own. Yes, I have lost parents and that was even more terrible. Stella probably had 2 or 3 more years left so no sugarcoating her untimely death. I wanted more but facing some bad days ahead.
God bless all who grieve today for any reason😪🐶☹️
