Belle.

This is the sweetest dog in the world, Belle.

She's been an Anderson for over 10 years.

She wandered into my brothers apartment, and into our family's heart, and has been there since.

Belle doesn't have much longer to live.

The vet thinks it's liver failure.

This sweet, amazing dog... a dog you'd want to clone because she seems so perfect, won't be with us much longer, and it's breaking my heart.

Belle has always been there for anyone who was sick. She'd sense it and be right by you. When I was pregnant and visiting my parents, she never left my side. She even snuck in my room at night to comfort me in my sleep. A definite thing that wasn't allowed, but felt so right.

She's always been full of energy. Walks in the morning with my mom. Catch in the afternoon with my dad.

My mom informed me that she now has to be carried upstairs for bed.

It's amazing how a pet can become a family member, and touch so many.

Belle, you'll be missed. I hope you go peacefully.
