We have changed Donna's name to Bella, but mostly we just call her B. There are not enough words to describe how much we love Bella. Both our families were ecstatic to hear we were getting a dog, and they were especially excited to hear that we were adopting her from an organization. You never know what to expect when you only see her on your website and for the brief couple of minutes you get to interact with the animals before you make the decision to take them home, but we knew we loved her the minute we laid eyes on her. Everyone she has come in contact with has fallen in love with her. We recently took her to the park in my hometown so we could take her swimming in the river, and so many people wanted to come and pet her and she loved all the attention. She is spoiled (too much I think :) ) by the "grandparents." Every time she goes and visits them or they come and visit us she gets so much love and attention we sometimes wonder if they even wanted to see US. She loves to sleep in our room on her nice big bed, and she loves to sleep in!! She gives us the most amazing welcomes when we come home from work every day and is waiting at the window when she sees us pull into the drive way. She is wonderful with our cats, and takes the abuse they give her. :) We even recently bought a new SUV and one of the requirements was Bella had to have enough space in the back and if it would be easy for her to get in and out of. We are taking a vacation with Bella this summer to Colorado and Ohio. We can't wait to take her hiking through the mountains and introduce her to the rest of the family.
I have attached some pictures of Bella around the house, at the river, and the announcement we sent to our family letting them know there was a new addition to our family. Thank you so much for all you do! Please tell Bella's old foster mom hello from Bella and us.
