Belle has joined our flock

[Freedom]

Belle doesn't look to me like she is much smaller than Riley or Tasha.

Hmm, yes, she is. Willy weighs 20 pounds; Tasha and Riley are both between 15 and 16 pounds (Tasha is slightly more than Riley). Belle weighs barely 10 pounds!

And shoulder heights: Willy is 11.5 inches, Tasha and Riley are 11 inches, Belle is barely 8 inches.

I love your fuzzbuckets ^^
is she starting to romp around with the others just yet?

Oh my yes, in fact you'd think she'd lived here much longer than a week! Today at the Farm, she darted and chased all around with our friend Skippy, AND she raced with Bear and Yogi. Skippy is a small dog, about Willy's size. Bear and Yogi are both part black lab, so they are big boys! She came home very tired, but happy. She has also done a blitz in the back yard a few times in the past 3 days.

Aww, just getting caught up on the progress of Belle. Sounds like she's doing GREAT!
Of course I know she is in the best home ever and now she is learning that too.

Is that within the acceptable range for her breed? She looks perfect to me just the way she is!

Yay, Belle! I am so glad to read that you had fun at the farm, playing with other dogs - and that you have done some blitzes! Good girl! Hugs and lovies to Belle, Tasha, Riley and Willy!

Your admiring fan,

Belle is a small bichon by any standards. But she is balanced and healthy, that's what matters in the long run!
