This sweet girl is a classic! You may have noticed Bella sunning a bit in the corner of her yard if you ever walked down Reymont Street. A face so adorable that I couldn’t help but stop to talk to her, especially since our dog Grant pulled me to her when he spotted her nestled in the corner near bushes. Grant wagged his tail endlessly, and he and Bella had some kind of pooch talk together! Bella is half Beagle and half Shiba Inu, a very unusual combination. Bella’s telling eyes and wagging tail will always greet you. If she weren’t already with her great family of partners Keli and Marisa, I would welcome her in our home!  Not a chance! They adore her!

Our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Grant, was the first to notice Bella along one of our walks, and every time we are on Reymont Street he pulls me to her yard looking for her. When she is not in the yard, Grant waits.  “Sorry, Grant, she may not be out for awhile!”

Keli went to a pet store before Thanksgiving back in 2012 in Washington, DC, just to play with puppies!

Yes, you guessed it, Keli fell in love with Bella, who was 8 weeks old at the time. “Surprise, Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!” Bella was her first dog, and it is clear the love that Keli and Marisa have for Bella. Because Bella is half Beagle, she has a Beagle howl, but the hilarious part is that she only howls when she is dreaming! Bella needs to be heard! Her nose is always to the ground, especially when she visits grandma’s house where she remembers all locations for past treats! Smart girl, Bella! She loves riding in the car, and one can only imagine her ears flying back as she sticks her head out of the window.

Until we see you on our next walk, Bella. Stay well since I am sure Grant wants to marry you!
