Bella loves to just chill

Bella camping

Wait.

This is camping?

No, she wasn't banished to the other side of the sofa.

I think she wanted the head rest...haha

She's doing great

Quickly aclimated to the RV

Enjoyed a long walk

Met several other dogs very politely

And now having a rest

Bella - Easy Keeper

Bella is quickly rising to the top of my list of 
“Easiest Fosters Ever”. 
She is such an easy keeper.

Sorry only one lousy picture. More to come I promise.

Quiet

No unnecessary barking

Nice size at about 11lbs

Walks well on the leash

Eats well, and doesn’t steal Charlie’s food

No guarding issues

Crates by herself with or without a treat

Rest quietly in the crate until we open the door

Rides well in the car

Plays nicely with Charlie. (This has happened only once or twice, but I’m sure there is more play to come)

Loves to rest on your lap while you watch TV, but equally content to lay in a doggy bed

Not adamant about following me from room to room.

No signs of separation anxiety

And…… BEST OF ALL…..(drum roll please)…… NO accidents !!

House-trained in my home with scheduled trips outside.

I can honestly say, that I can’t think of one negative thing about Bella.

A keeper for sure. (And she just might be my keeper, if she stays much longer)


Bella is slightly longer than she is tall, but not so close to the ground that I would call her a Doxi. And there is no prey drive or nose to the ground.
She also has a small, hardly noticeable under-bite. So may be some Shih Tzu going on?
Her coat is rough or wiry with just a sprinkle of white hair, so maybe a little Schnauzer going on?
But... if I had to take a guess at the majority breed, it would be Chihuahua. She just has a certain spirit about her. Her happy personality, with the shape of her head and her expressive eyes, make me think Chihauhua.






 
 





 

Welcome Bella

Bella has been with us only 24 hrs.

Here are our first impressions.

Very timid for the first few hours.

Today, curious and very loving with kisses and lap time.

Kept her crate clean and has done all her business outside.

Scruffy black fur with just the smallest amount of white "salting" across her shoulders.

So far, very quiet and polite.

Unafraid of household noises and activities.

Check back often for updates and additional pictures.
