Sun Sign:
Quick Bio:
-purebred

Birthday:
December 14th 2008

Likes:
Taking long naps in Mommy's lap, learning to walk on her leash (but only outside).

Pet-Peeves:
Being kept in the puppy pen longer than she feels necessary, getting a bath

Favorite Toy:
Puppy Kong, rope chew toy.

Favorite Food:
Greenies treats.

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere outside.

Best Tricks:
Nothing too noticible right now as she's still in the middle of the "super-clumsy puppy" phase. But she's picking up the standard obedience commands fairly quickly and I'm very proud of her for that considering her age!

Arrival Story:
**Please note: The current gallery photos were emailed to me by the breeder. I'll be adding current photos that I've taken soon.** The story of Bella coming to live with me is kind of amusing, but very long, so here's the uber-condensed version: Getting a puppy was recommended for my mental health (seriously!), and Bella is definitely an all-natural and nonprescription anti-depressant!

Bio:
I had my mind set on getting a female yellow lab. But I always choose my pets based on which one picks me. The yellow lab was more interested in playing with her siblings than meeting the people who came to see her. But this little chocolate lab crawled up in my lap, put her front paws and head on my shoulder and proceeded to fall asleep and drool on my sweater. It was love at first sight for both of us. :-)

Forums Motto:
Just call me Godiva!

The Groups I'm In:
LABS LABS AND MORE LABS!!!!!!!!!, Puppy Pals (Big and Small), The Dog Park!

Name Origin:
Bella was named after the character Bella Swan from the Twilight Saga. (Yes, I'm in my 30s, but I love the books. So sue me.) Not terribly original (but hey, it's better than Hermiony!) but she just looks like a "Bella." Kinda klutzy like the fictional character, too.

I've Been On Dogster Since:

White stuff

Mommy told me today that we're probably going to get something called "snow" in a few days. It's this white stuff that falls from the sky and covers the ground. Mommy loves snow and is really excited because it rarely snows where we live. She said I'd love it too, that I will really like running around and playing in it. I'm not so sure -- she also said snow is cold and wet, and getting covered in something cold and wet doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me. But in the few days since I came to live with Mommy, she's been right about most things so I'll give it a try.

XOXO, Bella

 

Hello, World!

It's just me, Bella. But I get to have my very own blog and it's making me very hyper and excited!

Not too much to say but the basics: My name is Bella, I'm a chocolate lab, I'm almost 6 weeks old, and don't as my weight -- you never ask a girl how much she weighs. It's rude.

I don't know how often I can update my diary. My human doesn't let me spend much time around the laptop yet. Plus, given my age, I don't know how to type, I just hunt n peck. But it was a lot of fun starting this even if it won't be updated too often.

If any of you who read this would like to be my friend, please send me a fpup pal request! I'd love to have friends of different breeds and ages and from all over the world. I'm also especially interested in meeting other chocolate labs, and meeting other dogs from Huntsville or anywhere in Alabama or southern Tennessee would be awesome!

XOXO, Bella
