HOW IS BELLA DOING?

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Pam, just wondering if you have any photos of Bella or did I miss them. I think we are all anxious to see her. How is she doing?
Is she all settled in and being spoiled?
Give her a hug from Daisy and Perry.

Ditto for me. How's the little angel?

I presume everything "came out" okay after the consumption of the plastic clothes pin episode and that Dad is by now out of the dog house.

I can't believe I missed this post!! Thank you for asking. I haven't been on the computer as much as usual because I don't like leaving my little girl unattended too long. Right now she is napping so here I am. I told a tale about her latest escapade on the Cinder & Smoke ongoing saga. Rather than repeat it, I'll just let you check that message board. She is a lil stinker! Here is my Photopoint address with a few more pictures but I have lots more to add! Maybe I'll get to that today. I have had a little trouble with Photopoint lately.

She is now 12 lbs. and growing. It seems each morning there is more and more of her to love! We had our fence repaired yesterday so now she is running free with the wind blowing through her little ears and enjoying every minute of it. No more leash now until training begins. Hubby is thinking about beginning soon. I'll keep you posted and thanks again!

Rachel, you must have been writing when I was writing. Didn't notice your post til now. Actually the clothespin was wood and there was concern for splinters, etc. Yes, it all "came out" all right!

Bella is gorgous, I love her. It looks like she is getting along well with Trev. The photos are so cute. I don't blame you, I would want to spend every waking hour with her too. I think you were made for each other.

Pam, Bella is precious. She has the same bed as Reece She looks like she's a lot of fun. I love the temperment of standard poodles.

Pam, all I can say is HOW CUTE IS THAT? I absolutely loved the 'I like to Pose' pic. Bella is precious. The cats are as big (er maybe bigger?? ) as she is!! All 3 of your kids are just darling. Many hugs and kisses to them all

[RachelJ]

Pam, you are forgiven for neglecting us because we all understand that there's nothing better than enjoying your pupster. Besides they don't stay little long so keep taking those pictures. They are marvelous. As far as PhotoPoint is concerned....I know, I know.

Oh boy now it begins!......Two "nawtee dawg" tales to report today! First of all she has started to dig in the flowerbed in the yard now that she has her freedom out there. There is one particular spot that she keeps returning to no matter what I say. Boy does black dirt look unladylike on a cream colored poodle's feet! Not to mention the poor plant that she traumatized!

Tale #2.....I was just on the phone and she found a tiny piece of wallpaper at the baseboard in the kitchen that wasn't glued. She pulled up about 9-10" of wallpaper before I could put the phone down and get to her. Fortunately it is repairable. Gotta get more of those plastic wallpaper protector thingys. This is the one wall that didn't have them!! Of course!! Slowly I am starting to remember puppy things that I had long forgotten!!!!!

How adorable! Aren't puppies wonderful?!

Pam,
She is absolutely precious!! Looks like the cat is still larger than she is. I loved everyone of the pictures.
Believe me, you have my deepest sympathy about the flowerbed. Mine are even trying to dig up the new sod in the backyard!!! Mom is none too happy about that little revalation. Many $$$$ spent trying to cut down on the mud!
Good thing I work at home and can keep a close eye.
Keep those pictures coming.
Logan

My brain is blank and I can't find the link where to vote for Simba! Can someone help me out?

[RachelJ]

Tee hee, the old "lets rip the wall paper off the wall". Yes, how well I remember. Lucky for us it was time for a change.

[Pam]

Rachel....Isn't it funny how a new pup can create lots of new ways to spend money! We've started a list for our next trip to Home Depot. Gotta get those baby locks for the lower kitchen cabinets. Bella has discovered that's a great (but dangerous) place to explore. Hubby is talking about putting a flood light out back to keep track of her better at night. Also, gotta get one more wallpaper protector. I am sure next week there will be a new list!

Logan....I think I'll be spending money on replacement plants and flowerbed repair this summer too. Sorry to hear about your sod. I know what you mean, though, anything to stop muddy paws from invading the house. We have several areas where grass doesn't grow (too shady) and these are her favorite places to explore on rainy days!
