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!

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.


Oh, Mom just called me for dinner. See ya! Have a good year everybody!

[Miss Z]

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?

[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

[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" 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. 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!
