Ella and Family, my heart just breaks for you all, but I thank you for sharing Ella with us.. her stories, her beauty... she made this whole world a better place just by being in it.

Keri wants you to know that she, Hannah, and Corvus (who will always be sweet on Miss Ella) are thinking of you and wishing you all the very best.

Chewbecca and Ella's Daddy, I'm so sorry that the time has come to let Ella go so soon. :(

Miz Ella, you are loved dearly by people and dogs here who have never even met you. You've touched so many more lives than you realize. We love you.

I just wanted you to know that I'm still thinking about you guys. I feel like we have all really gotten to know sweet, beautiful Ella from your amazing photographs of her. She couldn't have asked for a better, more loving family, and it is very obvious in all the happy pictures of her

It's so hard to lose them quickly like that. I remember Neon had only four days from diagnosis to PTS and every second wasn't enough.
The boys and I will be thinking of you.

Hi everyone. Rebecca and I are going through some serious heartache. We want to sincerely thank each and everyone for the pm's, emails, and posts. Seriously, we mean it.

Ella had difficulty going up 2 stairs in our sun room from going out today. Around 6ish I would think, not sure. Anyway, Rebecca begged her to come up the stairs. She did for Becky, not herself. Rebecca then realized, Ella was only holding on for us. Gaven, our 10 year old, gave her plenty of hugs and tears. Her breathing was somewhat laborious. I could now feel her spleen with out rubbing her abdomen muscles firmly. I know we wanted to try to treat, but it was not in Ella's best interest. It. Is. So. Hard. Making that decision. But she had pain even stretching out on a lay down. Please know we made the best decision. It was and still is soo hard.

I called, made the appointment for 10am. We got ready and I helped her into the truck. She just laid there. Although she did perk up as we neared my parents, it was just out of habit. My dad (Papa Don, her favorite human) took her for a short stroll around the yard. She said goodbye to Sam, my parents dog (the only one she got along with). Sam knew she was ill. He was very reserved. We loaded her back up and took her to the vet with my parents.

Dr. Cronin is an amazing vet. I didn't want anyone except him doing the injection. We got her comfortably on the table and he did the injection. It stung Ella a lil bit. Not too bad. I felt her lungs stop and her heart .... Sorry I'm crying ...

She looked so peaceful. No more pain. We all kissed her and rubbed her gorgeous ears. We will get her ashes and the doctor is going to make a paw print.

We came back and it is sooooooo hard walking into an empty else full of her things. I took people's advise and began putting things away. We each took a good smell of her beds. Her Orbies made both of us bawl. Finally, I got must of the stuff neatly packed and in the sunroom. My parents will store it for now. We will of course keep the Orbies and favorite collars (including the collar she wore at our wedding).

We will continue Ella's Lead in her legacy of course. I apologize for any delays in orders. We will do them, of course.

I'm sorry, it's hard to convey feelings well in type. This one seriously affected me. I have to force myself to go to work tomorrow. Rebecca will be home alone for a little bit, which will be tough. The whole routine is gone. Our arms are numb and our chest literally hurt.

My heart aches for you all right now. Know that you did do the best you could for her and you helped her go with pride and love. I am mourning so many dogs this month and Ella is now among them.

I cried for you. Hell, I'm STILL crying for you. It's been a hard day for me, I kept thinking about Ella and the impact she's had on all of us. Crying off and on all day today.

Words only do so much at this time, I know that all too well. But you both KNOW that we are all here with you. We are here if you guys need our help with ANYTHING.

RIP beautiful wonderful Ella.
