Today was a sad day as Bella (our second rescue black/lab mut) died (2/2011 - 4/2026). She outlasted her brother Fitch by a year and a half. She was practically blind and deaf at the end but still could manage walking around the property (although most of the time she was sedentary). Based on my last analysis (see Rufferee's Time Out), Bella proved the statistics that females outlast males by 1-2 years.
Wally is now our single dog and I'm sure there will be some family discussion concerning whether a new dog and friend for Wally should be acquired.
The whole family will miss Bella. Such great memories for 15 years.
