A Day In The Life Of Bella

SNOW!!!

Mom told me that when we moved back to Portland, I wouldn't see very much snow, if any at all. She was wrong. Last night I was sleeping in our bedroom when Mommy and Daddy came home. They seemed very excited and told me, "HEY! LET'S GO OUTSIDE! YOU'RE GOING TO BE SOOOO EXCITED!!!" They let Luna and I outside and the deck was COVERED IN SNOW! I went absolutely crazy. I especially like to eat snow. Anyways, I ran and slipped down the stairs, I really didn't care about the slipping. I ran around the yard over and over in my usual paths. I tried to catch some snowflakes in my mouth but failed miserably. That's when I remembered that Luna was upstairs and ran back up the stairs.

I did my "bow-and-butt-wiggle" dance and Luna bowed too. We would play for a little bit, but Luna gets scared of me easily so she would stop the playing but only for a couple of minutes. Mom and Dad would toss snow balls up in the air while Luna and I caught them with our mouths. Luna and I had a blast. It was wonderful. I wish it never had to end. Sadly, the rain came back and melted all the snow. It is Portland afterall.

Wags and kisses,
Bella

Books and Whatnot

Mom reads a lot of books about abandoned dogs. I think they inspire her to pick up other dogs that may have lost their Mom and Dad and take them to the shelter. She tells me that when she grows up, she wants to be a vet tech at a shelter. These books push her toward becoming the person she wants to be. She thought that your Mom's and Dad's might like them too.

Christmas was PAWsome!!!

Please, everyone, tell me how your Christmas was? Did you Pawrents get you anything? Did you spend time with any member of your family who you love but don't get to see often?

I always know when Christmas is coming because Mom and Daddy always come home with a whole bunch of things that I don't recognize the smell too. I sniff and sniff and sniff hoping that my curiosity is just my nose playing tricks on me. This year even more yummy smelling things came into the house. Including the 65 dog treats mom made for all of our doggy friends plus the dogs at the local animal shelter AND 219 cat treats for the meowing furballs we all know and the ones at the local animal shelter.

I got lots of kick ace presents including; One Mammoth bone, a sweater (don't ask me about it), a rope toy, a portable water AND food container, and a new brush. I think the pipsqueak (Luna) and I made out like bandits!!!
