We honor Bella’s memory and hold her family in our hearts as they remember the love and joy he brought into their lives.
"Bella, Barrylnn, Boobear, Boogie, Sweet Face. Bella had many names, but to me, she was my soul dog, my best friend, my protector, my emotional support companion, and the one who taught me responsibility. I was just 18, surfing Uncle Henry’s, when I first saw her wrinkled puppy face in an ad. Over the next 16 years, we grew up together.
She was there through jobs, relationships, and the passing of family members, always ready with a hug and a face lick to cheer me up. She loved the beach—running in the sand, picking up sticks, and diving for rocks! Bella always needed to know where her human was; if I wasn't in sight, she’d pace every room waiting for her kid to be home. She could hear a pin drop and spot anything a mile away, always on alert. (In her older age, she slept a lot more but was still on alert when she was awake)
She helped raise our two other dogs, Fawn and Freeway. We all miss you, Bear! I could go on forever, but she was truly special, and I can't wait to see her again. I loved you your whole life, and I'll miss you for the rest of mine. "
