But yeah, I'd like to not have to deal with but love why it is we do. <br /><br />And don't worry about Bella. She had a hard act to follow but she is her own little bundle of wonder. Her stories are so worth sharing, she's the reason we started this whole mis-adventure of blogging in the first place. ;)Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-34045665490469113002012-03-26T22:33:19.638-04:002012-03-26T22:33:19.638-04:00I like the purpose of this post --- some affirming...I like the purpose of this post --- some affirming love and attention for sweet Bella. I'll add to the theme of the comments above --- the shedding!!! I'd never heard the saying "Shedding Happens" but I like it! Having a German Shepherd (also known as a German Shedder) I totally empathize. I sometimes feel that sweeping and vacuuming are my part time jobs however there is something great about opening my wallet during the work day and finding a single, gentle sliver of fur inside and being reminded of the love of my life.

Life would be so much easier. ;)<br /><br />Bella learns much like Nola - 'working to get what she wants', too. They're so smart. Beau knew a few more commands but I didn't really have to teach him too much because, like yours, he was just so willing to do what you needed at any given time. And ftr, the only reason we're teaching Bella so much is because if we don't keep her entertained, she'll find a way to entertain herself. ;)Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-35672912954323730102012-03-24T17:24:14.206-04:002012-03-24T17:24:14.206-04:00I bet together the fur you two put out is a force ...I bet together the fur you two put out is a force to be reckoned with! ;)Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-80077417387011713012012-03-24T17:20:43.766-04:002012-03-24T17:20:43.766-04:00Oh aren't they terrible with the shedding?

And I have also recently found Beau's fur in closet corners, so whatever that says about our house-keeping skills, I like to think of it as surprise souvenirs. ;)<br /><br />And, if you must knows, slugs really aren't the worst thing we've seen Bella eat, we just try really hard to forget about that other stuff.

You dog bloggers are too prolific LOL! <br /><br />I get the lab or lab mix eternal shedding. I recently found Jordan's fur behind the bench and he's been gone 3 years. Of course, that may say more about my lack of housekeeping than his shedding. Bella eats SLUGS? Eeeew! That has got to be worse than fresh possum entrails and cat poop. How do you get the slime out? It's like the toughest glue ever! As for Bella's vocab - that's impressive.
