The bold and the Bella

Crazy Dog

Bella went to the vet this week because of bm problems. Everything is ok though, just need to feed her rice and chicken. She weighs 25lbs and is getting big. She still has a problem with barking and now lunges at little kids and tries to bite them. We try everything to distract her and get her attention when she is fixed on kids/people but nothing works. I hope we can train her so she is good around others. We haven't started obedience yet but hopefully next weekend (due to bm problems). Bella also randomly freaks out while walking and starts jumping and spinning. This is something new so we'll have to see how things progress. Bella has also lost one baby tooth up front. She is such a cutie but goes pyscho in the house some time. Guess that's what comes with a puppy.

The bold and the Bella.

Bella will be 11 weeks old on Monday. She is a ball of energy. So far we have taught her sit, paw, down, high five and come. The only problem is right now she does it on her terms. Yesterday we signed her up for obedience training and we can start once she has had her last set of shots in a couple of weeks. I can't wait!
Bella loves to play with ice cubes and run after a squeeky orange ball. We have taken her to the baseball field a few times and she loves to run after daddy. She could run for hours!! Bella also loves to bite EVERYTHING!!! My hands and arms look like they were in a blender!! Ouch!
As far as sleeping goes the first couple of weeks we had her were rough. She would cry when we put her in the crate and every 2 hours thereafter. We would even lay on the floor next to the crate all night. Now (after 4 weeks) she goes in the crate with no crying and sleeps all through the night (~7 hours).
Bella is a very smart dog who learns quick but when it comes to being outside it's like everything she has learned is lost. She does not listen to us what so ever outside. Also she barks relentlessly at people, even while they are petting her.
We walk Bella everyday, sometimes 2 times a day, and she was fine until we turn around to go home and she would run the whole way. A few days ago we bought a choke collar and ever since she has been a great girl with walking.
Bella is such a cute girl and we are so happy to have her in our lives! With her we are one big happy family, she is our baby! However I am looking forward to obedience training - it can't come soon enough! :)
