Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers).
A little unusual Post today (which is no small feat, if you have read any of the preceding Posts), however this blog is based on there being Progenitors and DownSprings. And as such, these people are important to this thing of ours.
We will simply post a link for a video for the benefit (if that is the right word) of one of our DownSprings. If you Readers are as intelligent as you are supposed to be (according to this Doctrine thing), then that is all the explanation necessary.

Dear Friends of Bella,
A few words about Bella:
She was a kind, sweet, and very fun-loving dog.
She excelled at agility classes (except for the beam work). She could jump tall buildings, or at least was always willing to try. She loved her long walks in the woods; but especially loved all things related to water. She and I were able to ride the waves together once.
She didn’t like any of the dog toys that we bought her, but much preferred stealing our tools. She was especially attached to the shovel, garden hose, and vacuum. Using clippers always was a little exciting because she would try to steal the tool that was being used.
She loved to landscape with her rock, digging trenches and splashing water in her puddle pool.
Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday. She would ride with me to the farm to pick up the turkey and stare at it every time that I opened the refrigerator. On the night before thanksgiving, I would ask her what day tomorrow was. She would answer me by trying to get me out of bed starting at about 3 am. She was more than willing to help with all cooking and was very fond of the giblets.
She had a throat condition due to poorly developed muscles. She adjusted to this problem without complaint. In fact, most of the time she enjoyed trips to the vet as a way to socialize and be admired by people.
Clark and I feel blessed to have had her in our lives.
RIP, Bella
It is apparent that Bella was a wonderful companion. Smart and playful. Remember the good times (which were, it appears, countless).
I’ m sorry about Bella – she was Miss Social, loved to have people over:) And one of the things I did admire about her was the way she was with the grandkids – she “let” them take her for walks and was just plain good with them. And damn, crying at 7:15 in the am – great video.
There are no satisfactory words.
Thank you for sharing Bella.
Sorry to hear of this. But you guys were great parents, and her time here was of the best possible quality.
It always makes me smile when I see an animal that happy; you can tell that Bella was loved and loved life. I am so sorry that she is no longer with you.
