Thank you all so very much for the kind words about my AnnaBelle. She is doing great, not even the first infection in her first year and few months! They said that bladder infections were very common and your biggest hurdle, and thankfully we have not had to encounter one yet! *knocks on wood desk* Our only concern is her weight gain which has been significant, and she barely eats but once a day ... a small portion. We are working on a solution as I type!

Now, AnnaBelle has something to say to her Ripley:

Ripley, this is AnnaBelle! Mommy is typing for me so that I can say all I want to say! I am so very excited that you still want me to be your girl and that you don't mind that I'm not able to play as well as before. I do still love to give lots of puppy kisses though, and I've always been more of a cuddler anyway! Oh, and I loooooooove a good chewbone too! I try to keep my teethies pearly white so I have a nice smile for you still! I hope you don't mind that my girth has widened quite a bit, but mommy says we are going to be working on that really soon!

I absolutely love the picture of you outside enjoying your ball. How sweet of you to want to share it with me! Tell your mommy that I would love to see more pictures of you on here, too! Afterall, this is how we keep the sparks alive in our long distance relationship!

Love and lots of puppy kisses!
AnnaBelle
