Hey, Welcome to pet talk!! I know that you will enjoy your stay here. I'm sorry to hear about your first dog. I almost had the same experince when a Chow came after my little chihuahua! Scared me to the point that I screamed at the top of my lungs. Well, it was this scream that stopped the chow dead in it's tracks. Just long enough for me to scoop Cisco up into my arms. Bella is so cute and I hope that ya'll will have many, many years together!!
