A week with Bella

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to puppysit Bella (Scarlet) while her family went on vacation to New Hampshire.  She had just turned 3 months old, so it had only been a month since she had left our home.

I wondered if Bella might forget us in that month...remember that at just 3 mths old a 30 day time frame is 1/3 of her whole life!  But I had nothing to worry about.  When Bella arrived she happily greeted us as if she had never left. 

She had grown from 4 lbs to almost 10 lbs in her month away.  She clearly had been very well trained, since she responded well to sit, stay and her clicker training.

Best of all it was so fun to see her reunion with Dixie.  They ran up to eachother, and started romping about on the lawn.  They clearly had not lost their affection for one another.

 We were so impressed with Bella.  She was so well behaved!

Dixie and Bella were almost inseparable the whole week.

 When the week was done and Bella's family drove up, we knew we were going to have a hard time seeing Bella leave us again.  But when her little girl scooped her up in her arms, it made me feel so happy for her.  Bella could not have found a more perfect home, with people who give her the absolute best love and care a puppy could want.  She is so special to them, and that is such a good feeling to have helped to make that possible.

There's nothing better than to be loved!
