Bella has been my fuzzy soul mate for 7 years this week. It’s that long since the fateful day I looked on the rescue website and saw her ears. 7 years? That’s a long time … and it’s a lot of loves. 

Thank you to my precious pup pal for being my constant companion. And for always running to bring one of your toys as a gift to me when I come home – whether I’ve been gone for 5 minutes or 5 weeks.

I love you that much too – and if I had a tail, it would have wagged right off from the happiness of being your family!

(I love the last photo in the strip above: how happy is Bella to see my sister on a visit home while she was living in the US? Get closer so I can give you loves pretty lady!)

These are just some of my favourite early and Bella only photos – most before our family grew to include Beary and Bubba.

She even loves reading Harry Potter! The final photo is her tucking herself in last night with her new toy crocodile. I wonder if he’ll still be in one piece when I get home tonight?

A greater pup pal I can’t imagine.
