Hi Everybody - it's me Bella (and Ripley)

[Pam]

Hi everybody. This is my little brother, Ripley, and he got a bath yesterday and I was supposed to also, but my mom's skin brother came over and I was off the hook! :p

I thought she would forget about my bath, being that it is New Year's Day and all, but Oh NO, not MY Mom! Here I am after the ordeal trying to look pretty. :)

Of course even though I am clean, I still have my duties to perform and one is to alert the humans about anything that goes on in the neighborhood so I am always on guard.

Gosh it is tiring sometimes - you know the responsibility of it all! *sigh*

Then I try to get my skin brother to play with me to no avail because he was busy working on his car.

So I just rested a little with my little brother.

Wow, you're a good dancer Bella!!!!

[luvofallhorses]

They are both adorable but I love Bella! :) How in the world do you keep her so white? :eek:

[Ginger's Mom]

Oh Ripley *sigh*, you are just sooo cute in that picture. I really want to pick you up and smother you in kisses (but boys don't like that do they? ;)). And Bella you are definitely the most beautiful guard dog I have ever seen. I really like the picture of you on the back of the couch looking at the camera, what a pretty girl. :) It sounds like you have had a very busy day today. Enjoy your dinner, and I hope you and your family have a very wonderful New Year. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

They are both so beautiful!! What adorable pictures :D

[Roxyluvsme13]

They're both so pretty and shiny!

[K9soul]

I love the one of Bella looking out the window :). Such handsome puppers... bath or no bath ;).

[elizabethann]

What beautiful dogs. I love Bella's doggie Xmas stocking hanging on the stairs. Cute!

[Toby's my baby]

Pam, your dogs are so beautiful! You both looks so nice and clean!

[cyber-sibes]

Wow, Bella, you sparkle!

[K9karen]

That Ripley sure is a little stud muffin! So handsome! And the pics of Bella, especially at the window, with your commentary, had me cracking up! She sure is a Bella!

[DogLover9501]

Bella is such a pretty "guard dog" :D Ripley is adorable too, as always. I've missed seeing them.

[Pam]

Thank you everybody for the nice remarks. :) I can *feel it in my bones* today that I groomed two dogs in the last two days. My hat goes off to you professional groomers who do several dogs a day! Of course Bella is the difficult one as maneuvering a 42 lb. dog into position is not as easy as a 14 lb. one! LOL!

[anna_66]

Oh Ripley, you were lucky one day but not the next hu;)

Both of the dogs look gorgeous Pam. I don't know how you groom them yourself. My hats off to you!

[Rachel]

Oh, Bella, you are a princess. Cyber-Sides was absolutely correct....YOU SPARKLE. :cool: And little brother, Ripley, is a sweet heart. Aren't you glad he came to live with you and your family?

I hope you had a good rest last night after that big day of grooming because I know that guarding the house thing never ends. Love you both!

[gemini9961]

They both look gorgeous. Great job at the grooming. :)

[RobiLee]

Bella, I'm so glad you had mommy post these pictures. I am a very happy woman right now! I just love you and Ripley! You are both just stunning after your baths and your mommy does an awesome job with your grooming. Absolutely love those pictures of you looking out the window and I love the closeup of you with the family picture in the background.

Hugs and Kisses to you and your brother! :D

[jackiesdaisy]

Oh my gosh Bella, you are just beautiful and your brother looks so very handsome. Your Mom may be wore out from bathing you, but you sure do shine. Lots of hugs going to you and Ripley.
Jackie, Perry and Daisy

Oh, oh, could it be that there is a canine brother or sister in the E's future? After a bit of :rolleyes:, I would suspect that Trevor and Andy would be willing to give a whole-hearted recommendation to *the Poodle idea* should the E's voice any concerns.

[ChrisH]

Aw, fabulous pictures of your beautiful furkids Pam!! :D
