April in a treatball

Hello Furiends,

It's the Bella here.  I've got some very happy news to share.

April 10, 2013 was my 9th Gotcha Day.  Whoop! Whoop!

 Nine years ago I was just a hairless demodectic mange covered squirt that some irresponsible human brought into this world and abandoned.  That's ok because I forgive them.  If they hadn't abandoned me then I would have been trapped in a horrible life furever.  I'm thankful my Mom and Dad found me and adopted me and gave me such a nice loving, fun, safe, adventure filled home.  I had a great mentor and big sis Emma Bo Bemma.  She taught me all about life and being a good dog.  Being the larger than life little dog that I am I didn't always follow Emma's mellow and laid back ways.  That's ok because I'm me and added some of my own personality to the mix.  I make sure to keep Mom and Dad on their toes. If it wasn't for me they would be plump squishy couch potatoes.  I give them reason to play and romp and walk and go to dog events.  I know they love it :)  I know they love me to the moon and back.....they said so :)

For your viewing pleasure here are some very adorable baby photos of a very cute brindle puppy, Me.  Just in case you couldn't guess ;)

Wow, I think that was almost cuteness overload!  Take a minute to recover.  I know it's a ton of adorableness to take in all at once.

We went for walks.

Mom even played hookie on my Bella Day and we went for a walk in the rain and did some urban agility.  Check out my awesome stability and coordination.

 I was hoping we could go off roading and explore some unpaved trails, but Mom said she wasn't interested in picking blood sucking ticks off my beautiful brindle furs. 

So we stayed on the paved trail hoping to go home bug free.

We had Bella Day cake.

 We went for more walks.

Out on our walk we passed some other people out enjoying the nice rare sunshine.  The one girl says "Ohhhh dog as she passes by Dad and Sweet Pea."  then she says "Ohhhh another dog.  That one's prettier!" as she passes by ME.  Really, was there any doubt?  Thank you ma'am for making it official. 

Dad on the other hand did not think it was very nice and told Sweet Pea not to listen to the crazy lady.  He told Sweet Pea she is pretty too.

What I'm still wondering is where are the toys??????????????????  It's not like I have any to play with.  I think I need more toys.  A dog can never have too many toys.  Right?

(note from Mom: over flowing needs cleaned out mound of toys.  Does she really need more? The truth of it is you can't even see all of the toys as they wouldn't fit in the camera frame.)

That is what has been happening in the Bella & Sweet Pea house during the month of April.


Lots of Licks,
Bella
