Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
No words of mine will heal the hurt you are suffering at the moment, but although I have never met you or Susie-Belle, I really felt I knew you both and had such admiration for you.
I can only offer heart felt commiserations to you and your loved ones.

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
So sorry to hear this news. I never met your lovely dog, but have read much about her and can only imagine how you are all feeling. You have clearly inspired many and I hope that knowledge helps you through the next weeks and months. Thank you for sharing your stories.

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
Oh no! We are so sorry for you. I know no words can take away your pain but we are thinking of you and what you must be going through at this awful time. Your journey with Susie-Belle has inspired so many people and always will. I will not forget her meeting Roxy at the Annual Schnauzer walks and her cheesy smirk when she was answering the chorus of barking when you were sitting in the shelter last year at Dovedale, when you were telling her to be quiet and she took no notice. She had a lovely life with you with nothing but the best so in time those memories will pull you through.

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
We are very sad to hear Suzie-Belle had lost her fight so soon after her diagnosis and that you & your husband had to make the decision to let her go. You know it was the only thing you could do, but today that won't help much, I know. Her sisters will miss her too. Big hugs xx

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
Devastated for you....however, if it's any consolation at this heart breaking time; ....you should be so proud of what you've achieved with her & how you completely transformed her life....she probably became Britain's most favourite Schnauzer. Well done you....
Sincerest condolences...

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
So sorry to hear your very sad news, I know there are no words to comfort you at this sad time
But take strength from how you were able to give Susie-Belle a loving home, somewhere she could feel safe and loved, so very different to her earlier nightmare life she had endured. She was able to enjoy life and realise that there were kind humans around in this world, and by you sharing her story far and wide her memory will live on.

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
So,so sorry to hear your sad news. We felt that we really knew Susie-Belle through reading your book. Having recently lost our lovely girl who we had also for only 4 years we understand the pain that you are going through. Deepest sympathy.

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
Thank you everyone for your really kind comments and messages. I am struggling a lot more than I thought I would, and I'd imagined this would be bad
But, I know I will be fine in time. I have Twinkle and Renae to focus my mind on things other than how damn unhappy I feel at the moment. They are making sure there's some kind of normality to our days even though I feel far from normal.
I'll soon be back in the fray, fighting on for all the others who never get to know what Susie-Belle did, that life is there for living, and loving. She taught me a hell of a lot in the 4 years 3 months we had together. I won't waste her lessons.
I've been stunned by the response to her passing on social media, her reach has been truly worldwide, I know many are mourning and that her life has mattered. That puppy farmer never knew what a life and soul they had trapped in that barn. I am taking a lot of comfort from the many messages saying how her life has opened people's eyes to the reality of puppy farming, and, this is really special, that people have adopted, or will adopt in future, dogs needing a home. That is her best legacy.
Thank you again, all our dogs are special, every single one. Some just come into our lives with a particular purpose, and I know what Susie-Belle's was for me.

Re: We've lost Susie-Belle
I am so sorry to hear this Beebee.
You must be so proud of her though, knowing how far she came with your love and care and how inspiring her story has been to others. I must admit it was only through reading your book that i began to understand the true horror of puppy farms. It is this legacy that will live on and you must draw some comfort from that although i know this will be an awful time for you.
Susie-Belle was a very special little girl and just because she is no longer physically here, she will still live on through all the good work you do and in all the memories you and others can share of her. I never met her (or you for that matter) but i feel connected to her through your writing and she has touched me and so many others. I am deeply saddened by the news of her passing but am glad that in some small way she was in my life.
Run free brave, sweet girl.
