Dear Sweet Baby Bella,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been two months since you went to Pet Heaven at Rainbow Bridge and our missing you is more painful than ever. We love you.<\/p>\n

\"\"As you know we have two new additions to the family with Bleu and Gracie, and we love them dearly, but there just isn\u2019t a strong bond with them yet; to be very honest. At least for me personally. I feel this awful guilt and something just isn\u2019t natural at this point. Maybe, over time, we will feel more comfortable together. I just don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Your bub, Jack, seems to be of the same opinion based on his body language. He seems somewhat withdrawn and stubborn recently. It could be from the summer heat and desire to lounge around in the air-conditioned house, but I truly feel that he misses you as badly as I do. It\u2019s truly painful.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jack and I spend so many private, special moments together and that\u2019s really wonderful. I sneak him food and give him lots of extra special attention. I talk with him and try to explain things as best as I can. He is such a perfect guy that we cannot love him enough.<\/p>\n

Sweet Bella, I\u2019m going to change my Facebook logo today from your beautiful picture today and I feel an awful guilt about doing-so but I hope you can understand. I will rotate images of your beauty in your great honor just as I have with Misty.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Daddy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
