Our beautiful Isabella Margaret Drake passed away on the 21st of January 2024. She was a wonderful girl and beloved by all of the family. Bella joined our family in 2012, our daughter wanted a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and we went and looked at one in a nearby town. She fell in love with a male dog which she named Benji and I fell in love with Isabella, the only problem was we had Toby and Charlie already at home, so sadly it did not look like she would join our family. My daughter’s friend fell in love with her too and so it was arranged that in a couple of weeks time she would take home Isabella and our daughter would get her brother Benji. Time passed and they finally went and picked up Bella and Benny, only to find out later that night that my daughter’s friend’s landlords now would not let her have a dog. As soon as he found out what had happened my husband said we would take and pay for her and she would become a member of our family. Isabella was so cold when we got her that night, so we got her snuggled up in bed under my arm to warm her up, a position she liked to sleep in whenever she was cold for the rest of her life. Toby and Charlie, eventually warmed up to her and life ran along smoothly. After Toby passed, Charlie and Bella became much closer, with Charlie seeming to train her into being another companion animal for my husband. After Charlie, and then Benji passed Isabella started slowing down a bit. Then in March last year the family welcomed two new puppies, Roly and Teddy and Isabella decided they needed a mother figure and she was it. She spent the rest of her life training, loving and spoiling these little guys and they loved her dearly in return. Sadly she had a sudden turn on the twenty first of January and there was nothing that anyone could do for her apart from hold and love her until she passed. She is forever, loved, missed and remembered.
