Baby Bella

The newly psuedo-adopted puppy, Bella, can be seen here for the time being. We had hoped to integrate her with our pack, but our boy dog Murphy is being a shi* head... I love him the most though. I think its a case of fighting it out to establish the Omega (bottom) dog, and he doesn't want to be it. Who can blame him?

Surprisingly, Bella is getting along great with our girl dog, Gracie (the "experts" say that normally its the female dogs that fight). Gracie and Bella have been playing like best friends, it only turns ugly when Murphy gets in the middle.

Bella is a sweet girl, we're going to let her stay with us until we can find her a good home (or she totally melds in and the pack stabilizes, whichever comes first!). She's a doll baby - less than a year old (vet said 7-8 months), no health issues. She's about 35# and should be almost full grown. She's got short stubby little legs and a really long body (kind of like a basset hound or something? Legs aren't quite that short, but that gives you the basic idea of her shape), and the sweetest personality you'll ever meet.

She's also very calm, at least in comparison to what I remember of my other two dogs at her age. She likes to lay next to you and get her neck scratched, and will follow you most anywhere.

OK, to be honest, she's not quite housebroken, but she's a puppy and we're pretty sure she's been an outdoor dog all her life. A little crate training would probably be all she needs to get her on track. She seems to be a quick learner about everything so far!

If you'd like to adopt Bella, let me know; she is a doll and she deserves a loving home.
