Suzanne Jackson has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her dog Bella who sadly passed away last week.
While the top blogger was abroad with her family, the pet escaped from her cousins house in Drogheda and was hit by a car.
Suzanne was “inconsolable” following the passing of her beloved Bella, and has since shared a touching post about the dog.
“From the moment she arrived at our home she brought us so much unexpected love and happiness all at once,” she began on her blog.
“I truly believe pets are like angels that have been sent into our lives to teach us some valuable life lessons for the length of time they are with us, and this was definitely the case with Bella.
“I cried the whole way home from Lanzarote. I was inconsolable. Myself and Dylan sat down with Bella that night and said our goodbyes. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I cried like a baby and just stroked her coat.
“She looked so peaceful, almost like she was asleep – I take comfort knowing she wasn’t in pain and that she still looked like my Bella. I also take comfort in knowing she spent her last night with us, in our house, in her bed.”
She went on to say, “For some people, a pet is almost like a child. For others, it’s like a sibling, a best friend, a long-term companion. A pet becomes a huge part of your family and daily life and therefore their death can be just as painful as that of a family member.
“Having a pet is truly a gift that can change your life and Bella 100% changed mine.
“Bella, my baby, my special one, thank you for all you have done, you made my 2017 the best year to date and I miss you so much.
“I love you with all of my heart and I will meet you at the rainbow bridge my darling! Sleep tight, my love. Forever in my heart.”
