Mon Bella

We have an addition to our family. About two months ago, a friend from Jake's work, told Jake about his Wymerrammer puppies (he was selling). Jake called me twelve times that day. He kept teeter-tottering, back and forth-yes we are ready, no we aren't. I finally convinced him to look and we did. Holy cow, you would think that the kids were smitten,(which they were) but that was nothing compared to Jake. He had a smile from ear to ear and held her the whole way home. (from Willard)

I talked to the kids about her name and I wanted them to both have input. However, Gracie made a decision "Cinderella, Ella, Bella" I drew the line there. There was a Kella, but I knew where it was going. All the while I kept asking Andrew for any ideas? And he just said I don't know. Of course Gracie started calling her Bella for short and the name stuck. So poor Andrew; we are lucky he is so even tempered and sweet. I told him he could name the next pet.


So below are some pictures of our beauty, our Bella:


Our baby...her first pictures


Who wouldn't love her?


Andrew has already overcome his fear.


Bella at 3 months. I love how her fur and eyes
match the Uintah dirt.

"Sleeping Bella"
She is so darling.

She is the cutest puppy! I can't imagine Bella doing anything to frustrate you...J/K. I know all about the love/hate relationship that one can have with a puppy. Jack and I had that kind of relationship. One minute I was loving him to pieces and the next minute I wanted to cause him pain.
(Wow, I sounds scary). You know what I mean.
Just remember when you are having those rough days with Bella just go and take her for a run and rekindle the love between the two of you. Ü
