A Day in the Life of Bella—The Vacation Edition

We’re Bella-sitting for our friend Sarah, who had to take a business trip.

Look at Bella’s tail wag. She loves Ed, who took this picture, best I think. :)

Then, she took Ed for a walk and barked at the neighbor’s dogs.

Forgive the yucky video quality. Camera phone, you know.

Then Bella tried to get on the sofa when Fox was sitting there with Ed. Fox was not amused, got off the sofa and barked at Bella. Bella backed off. This is very different from what happens when Bella’s sister Jazz stays with us. In that situation, Fox and Jazz bark at each other until Ed and/or I get one and/or both of their attention and remind them that the sofa/cushion/patch of carpet/air is not worth fighting about.

Then, Ed ran a bunch of errands in preparation for my birthday dinner, so Bella got to go in her playpen and rest. Toby rested in his crate. Fox got the run of the house because, well, he’s Fox, and he doesn’t need no stinkin’ playpen or crate.

When I came home from work, I completely ignored Ed.

Ed's sad because Rebecca's more interested in me than in the birthday dinner he made for her.

Instead, I concentrated on Bella, who…

Ate some dinner…

Drank some water…

Water...

Looked cute…

Hi!

And generally charmed the humans in the house.

It’s so hard being a Bella. :)

As for poor, ignored Ed… I loved the birthday dinner he made for me. More on that tomorrow. :)

I love, love, love the bottom photo. Thanks for taking such good care of Bella. I loved watching her bark.

Thanks, Sarah. You’re welcome. We’re enjoying having her. And her bark IS really cute.

That last shot is a real charmer.

Thanks, Lou. She is a cutie!

Bella is stinkin’ cute! We have a long-haired cousin of Bella’s in our house, and she REFUSES to have bows in her hair. This frustrates me. Perhaps Bella could teach her it’s not all that bad to be able to see?

Bella’s bow is starting to not be as… um… effective as it was yesterday. And I don’t know how to fix it. It’s a good thing Bella’s human is coming home tomorrow. By Thursday, she wouldn’t be able to see either. By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you’ll be back!

Bella is pretty much cuter than anything. Makes me want one.
