My baby Stella

[hjm05]

We brought Stella home October 15, 2004. Our time with her was short, but we truly loved every minute of it. Yesterday I truly experienced heartbreak. My Stella had learned how to get out of her cage quickly after coming home. Fearful she might hurt herself as a puppy if we were to give her the run of the house, we began securing her cage with additional clips. Sometimes we would come home and she would be running around the house or relaxing on the bed. Sometimes she would be sleeping in her cage. Yesterday, my dog walker came to let her out and found her. She had gotten caught in her cage door and choked to death. I keep wondering what I could have done better to keep her safe. I can't help but feel a sense of guilt and responsibility. We did our best to give her a life filled with love and keep her safe. We enjoyed watching her grow and seeing her learn at puppy kindergarten. We loved her so much and took her everywhere with us. She was such a good girl. We tried to spoil her with kongs and fun times at the beach and doggie park and she showed us nothing but love - kisses and her wiggly little butt, sleeping in together on the weekend. I looked forward to coming home each day to see her. We are heartbroken and miss her so much. We were looking forward to having her around for a very long time :(

Mommy and Daddy love you and miss you Stella.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know if I were in your situation I would feel responsible too but the one thing to keep in mind is that you did not let her have the run of the house because you were concerned for her safety.
I am sure she enjoyed the brief time you had together and is smiling down on your family from the bridge.
