Hi Belle! Happy Dog of the Day to you! What a big, beautiful girl you are, Belle; a gentle giant among canines! And yes, you do remind me of a polar bear! What a wonderful life you and your brother Bo, and the indoor doggies are enjoying there in beautiful Boliviar MO; swimming in the pond, napping under the shade of a big ol' tree! But of course nothing beats a good brushing, well, except for all of that love heaped upon you by your Nana and Papa!

You know Belle, they say the bigger they are, the mushier they are, and you're living proof fo that! How lucky your family is to have a doggies as beautiful, as sweet and loving as you in their lives...Bo and your stepsisters too! Hope you're doing well with the hip dysplasia, Belle! Sounds as though you're the sort of girl that isn't going to let anything stop her from enjoying every minute of life to its fullest! Big hugs and kisses to you on your much deserved day of honor, sweet baby girl! I hope you and Bo and your stepsisters, Nana and Papa, are are all enjoying a super special, fun day of celebration!!!
