Beautiful Bella

Bella spent the whole day outside on Sunday and came in for a few minutes Sunday night to grab a bite to eat and head out again. I hadn't seen her since and was really starting to get worried. Tony her brother kept going outside and coming back in all day yesterday and when he was inside he was either by the door or searching out the window. I think he was worried about his sister Bella.

Last night I had two dreams that Bella came home. Apparently she did because this morning Hyrum was going out back to his bus stop when he came back in to tell me that he found Bella. I went out to see and there she was laying in the gravel at the back of our house. She had frost all over her fur. I went down to see what's going on and realized that she was frozen solid. I tell Hyrum to go on to his bus stop and to not worry I'll take care of her. I was so upset I didn't know what else to do. I ran into the house to grab a towel to cover her up. After Hyrum got on the bus I just broke down and started crying. I felt horrible. I think Tony knows what's going on. He wont leave my side. He wont even go outside. It just breaks my heart.

I know it may seem a little silly to some of you that I would be morning my cat. But Bella was part of our family. Not only were her and Tony the best of friends who did just about everything together, but she loved my boys and she loved Chris and I. She was always so sweet and loving. She would sleep with Hyrum at night and sometimes she would even try to give us all a bath by licking out heads. Of course I never let her do that to me, but it never stopped her from trying. She had the motherly instint to take care of all of us and we are going to miss her very much.
Bye our beautiful Bella baby.
