We fell in love with Bella at 1st site, when she was only 7 weeks old and her paws were as large as her adorable head.
Bella was the sweetest, most loving baby, and we miss her greatly. We knew that Rottweilers have a short life expectancy, but we still were not prepared to lose our baby at 9 and a half years old. She was there through our son's whole adult life as she adopted us when he was in high school. She saw him through high school, college and Law School, and his courtship and marriage to our lovely daughter in law. Bella was his rock through all of it. Our daughter was 10 when Bella joined our family, now at 20, all of her life-impacting memories have Bella in them; they grew up together. Bella was her rock. My husband and I loved Bella like one of our kids- because she was one. She was our baby. Our house does not feel like a home without our baby. She was a large presence, and I'm not talking about her size. Our family will never be the same without our Bellies, as we called her. We now hold on to the memories of her rottengator puppy years, cuddles that took up the whole bed, the little nibbles she would give my lips when she kissed me, her rottie rumble, her zoomies, the way she destroyed any toy in seconds so she could get the "heart" (squeaker) out, her love for scrambled eggs, especially off Mommy's fork, the way she could drink soup off a spoon and not spill it, the way she looked so majestic as she ran after her glow ball, and her love/hate relationship with her cat brother, who actually ran her since she had no idea she was a huge Rottweiler. She was only a baby after all.
We love you so very much, Bella. Mommy, Daddy and your kids will see you again in Heaven, my little one.
