I have to keep this vague and short because I'm already crying. After about 13 years (Arlo's whole life), we have put to rest our sweet Belly. She has struggled a lot the past couple years. It has been financially and emotionally overwhelming, but we kept up with her decline, even if it was partially selfish. I couldn't bear with the thought of taking her out of her home and to the vet for euthenasa. She hates leaving. The door can be wide open and she would avoid it at all costs. We went through a local home visit service "Lap of Love". As a single Mom, the cost to euthanize and cremate Bella is rather large. I already paid the fees which are just under $1000. I don't normally accept nor ask for charity, but this is a huge cost for us and with everything my son is feeling, I will also be enlisting him into grief counseling. I was hoping maybe with the help of friends and family, I could help offset some of the cost. It would mean so much to us. No obligations at all! We are all struggling, so I totally don't expect anyone to feel they have to. Goodbye our Bella Esmeralda Lugosi.
