I am sure they are all fishing with my grandfather today. It is not a coincidence that I am walking in the Moonlit Memory Walk to raise money for The Bello Project and my boxer (for whom I am walking) is also named Bello. He was the inspiration for the program at Home Hospice Association that cares for the pets of terminally ill pet owners. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm">Bello died on June 2, 2014 after a very short illness. So short in fact, that he died before we received a diagnosis or prognosis from the Vet. Bello and I spent most of “our life” just the two of us and I always worried about what would happen to him if something were to happen to me. I could not bear the thought of him witnessing my death and then in fear and confusion being put into a cage and taken away in a windowless van. Bello was my friend and protector and I knew even in the case of my potential death, I had to be his. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm">Before Bello died, I was really trying to decide if I had the time and “energy” for this big; conceivably immoveable mountain that we know today as Home Hospice Association. I always used to say that I had a six hour bungee cord attached to my waist, never leaving Bello alone for any longer than that. This new potential project would take me away from home for days at a time never mind hours at a time. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm">Bello got sick when we were on a road trip to Vancouver. Having to literally turn around two days after we arrived, under the direction of the Vet who treated him out west.  I will never forget driving on the Terry Fox Highway with him asleep in my lap. I said a prayer and my commitment was that if God spared him from what in my heart I knew was his impending death, I would spend more time with him and put the idea of HHA on hold. On the other hand, if he died, that would be “my sign” that I was meant to bring HHA to life. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm">We arrived home on Friday evening. Along the trip home I did a lot of research about what the Vet suspected Bello was “dying of”. I knew that surgery, which was the only option, for him at his age was not a risk to take. I had read about cellular regeneration and decided I was going to “feed his liver” back to health. After all, how hard could it be to keep him alive until his new liver formed?! <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm">My kitchen became a laboratory and I was making every food combination under sun to keep his sugar levels up to try and keep him alive. At noon on Sunday he refused to eat, he looked up and me and I could hear him say… it’s okay “mom” I’ll take it from here. At 6:20 on Monday morning, in his favourite room in the house, I felt him take his last breath. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin-left:0cm"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(32, 32, 32);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Since that day I have not taken for granted the gift he gave me;

Thank you for making our in-memoriam donation to keep the Legacy of Bello, Georgia, Guinness and Layla alive and for helping us meet our goal of $500.00 for The Bello Project.  This program is near and dear to my  heart because it ensures pets and their person stay together until their person has died.  The Bello Project provides in-home pet care assistance for pets whose owners are facing death, allowing them to remain together sharing companionship and love when it is most needed. Along the illness journey trained Bello Project team members assist in a pet’s basic care needs.  When the time comes, if there isn't a family member able to take ownership of the pet, The Bello Project works with the dying owner to find their pet’s next home. In this way, The Bello Project provides the pet owner peace of mind that their beloved pet is in the best possible hands. Thanks to your donation and support of the Moonlit Memory Walk, this program continues to be offered free of charge to those who need it and to any organization interested in taking the lead in bringing The Bello Project to their community.  Learn More about The Bello Project: https://www.homehospiceassociation.com/thebelloproject

I said a prayer and my commitment was that if God spared him from what in my heart I knew was his impending death, I would spend more time with him and put the idea of HHA on hold. On the other hand, if he died, that would be “my sign” that I was meant to bring HHA to life. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin-left:0cm;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin-left:0cm;max-width:100%">We arrived home on Friday evening. Along the trip home I did a lot of research about what the Vet suspected Bello was “dying of”. I knew that surgery, which was the only option, for him at his age was not a risk to take. I had read about cellular regeneration and decided I was going to “feed his liver” back to health. After all, how hard could it be to keep him alive until his new liver formed?! <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin-left:0cm;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin-left:0cm;max-width:100%">My kitchen became a laboratory and I was making every food combination under sun to keep his sugar levels up to try and keep him alive. At noon on Sunday he refused to eat, he looked up and me and I could hear him say… it’s okay “mom” I’ll take it from here. At 6:20 on Monday morning, in his favourite room in the house, I felt him take his last breath. <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;margin-left:0cm;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;max-width:100%">Since that day I have not taken for granted the gift he gave me; to allow his journey to continue in the care of others. People often ask me if I will get another boxer. My answer is always the same. Until Home Hospice Association no longer needs me, I will continue to be the crazy dog lady in my condo building!  <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;max-width:100%">As members of this team, I am walking in Bello’s memory to offer grief support to family members, volunteers and caregivers who work tirelessly to ensure this life affirming bond between pet and owner is never at risk.<p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:inherit;width:576px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;max-width:100%">Please consider contributing this important effort.

Hello Friends, Welcome to the 2023 Etobicoke Walk Location... Humber Bay! This year we are walking along the beautiful waterfront of Humber Bay.  Starting at 2275 Lake Shore Blvd W and taking the leisurely stroll to the mouth of Lake Ontario will take us about 45 minutes.  Before we walk, we will participate together in a Candle Lighting Ceremony and hear the names of our loved ones.   After the walk, our Hosts will welcome us to a  refreshment reception at Club W just across the street from our walk location.  Why might this be important for you to know?  Well if you would like to join us in our walk and celebration we would love to have you!   As your walk hosts  we will ensure that your lantern, candle and other gifts are here waiting for you when we come together on October 28 2023.  As all other Moonlit Memory Walk Hosts, we will be arranging and ensuring your full walk experience.  Together we will establish or grow the legacy of our loved one(s).

Hello Prénom Nom, We thank you from the bottom of our heart. This donation greatly helps our mission.  It is thanks to generous people like you that the funds raised at the Moonlit Memory Walk helps Home Hospice Association deliver programs such as Hospice at Home, Compassionate Caregiving, Pre and Perinatal Hospice, and The Bello Project.   We will now be able to continue educating and certifying Death Doulas and Infant and Pregnancy Loss Doulas who are specifically trained to help our dying and those experiencing in-utero loss.  We can’t change the outcome, but we can surely change the journey. Let's be the change together! If you would like to contribute further, contact us to become a volunteer, or talk to your friends about our cause! Tracey Robertson tracey@homehospiceassociation.com
