Update

Well, it has been a long time since Trina Belle updated her page. It was a big adjustment for little me to start a new life at my age. But let me tell you, life is good now. That lady is my mommy now.

When I first came to my new home, I met Pepper and Wilson and Taffy. She said they would be my pack. I really liked Pepper, but Taffy - not so much. Wilson - well he's bigger and I tolerate him.

Then she took me to another place where they stuck a needle in my arm. Lots of sad looks afterward. Found out that I had worms in my heart! NOT GOOD. YUCK!

Had to go to that place two more times. Stuck a needle in my back both times. In my back I tell you! Mommy moved my crate into her room and I didn't have to be around the others. You know what? I didn't know I felt bad until I started feeling better! I felt so much better - like I was a young girl again. I wanted to jump and run and play! Then my hair got so shiny and thick, just like it was long ago. I'm all better now. No heartworms.

I love to go for rides, but I don't get to do that nearly enough. I have my own bed. Still sleep in Mommy's room. When she leaves to go to that place called "work", I don't have to go in a crate. I look at the others, sitting in their crates and think "you poor dogs" then I trot off to my own special bed. Life is good for Trina Belle. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, always enough food and water, big yard to run in, cats to bark at.... yep, life is good.

My Big Day

Well, I am so cute. They say I may be part Dauchshund because I am long and low, and maybe part bassett because my toes point out. Mama thinks not basset but CORGI, because my ears do this cute thing. One points out and one lays down. I'm too little to be bassett.

Whatever! I am adorable is what I am, and I don't let anyone forget it, either.

Now, for my story......

So, I was in this place with lots of other doggies. I had another doggie in my kennel that was short like me. They said the other doggie was a purebred Corgi. I just know that it was a young and jumpy doggie, kinda got on my nerves.

A lady came to see us doggies one day and she was letting doggies out of kennels, they would go away with her then come back all thirsty and tired. And she would get another one out, go away, come back, and so on. Finally she came to me & my kennelmate. AH HA! We were going outside to pee, poo, & play! Before it was time for me to go in, I heard the lady talking about "that one" and pointing at me. The other ladies she was talking to looked my way, one looked sad and the other shook her head. The lady that took me outside looked surprised. hhhhmmmm - so I went over to see what was going on. A man joined the ladies. Next thing I knew, they had me picked up in the air, turned on my back and were looking at my belly!

I went back to my kennel with my kennelmate for bedtime. I don't remember much after that. The next morning, a lady came and took me to a funny smelling place, and I slept there for a long time. When I woke up, I felt funny. And my belly hurt.

And there was that lady from yesterday that had taken me outside. She had a leash on my neck and was trying to get me to go with her! NOT EVEN! NOT until I FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!

Let the snapping begin!!!!!!

I snarled and snapped and growled and showed everybody my biting teeth.

How'd that work for me, you ask? NOT TOO GOOD.

Some one threw a towel over my head, picked me up and put me in a truck with THAT LADY!
