Remember When We Brought Bella Home?

Bella has come such a long way!
When we brought her home in November she was 5 pounds. She weighs 11 pounds now. I call her my Chunky Monkey! She is such a cuddle bucket, but only with me....she is still scared of the rest of the world.
It makes me feel very needed & special that she loves me that much. *shrug*
I wrote a Bella poem.

Bella from a puppy-mill came she.
Broken like me.
We cling together, a bond like no other.
Neurotic she is, but does not smother.
Slowly we heal.

Some more random pictures.

Can Dogs Contemplate Murder?

Last night we found Zoie with her teeth around Bella's collar & she was shaking it (& Bella) for all she was worth.
Bella just took it & just sat calmly. As I reached for her collar to straighten it up I found I could not get my finger between it & her neck.
Holy shit! Zoie just tried to kill Bella!
Now that Zoie knows how to strangle her sister.....Will she try again?

This would make a good Stephen King story.

Another Poopy mess

It's is a pretty icky mess to be cleaning up every night after a day working my butt off.
How do you teach a "puppy mill" dog it is not cool to potty in your sleeping area.
She is pooping four times a day. That is not right. To many cookies?

Bella & Poop

Ms.Bella decided to cry all night.
She also decided to poop & play in it while we were at work:(
She loves to eat & play in poop WTF?
I got the powder to mix in her food to make poop taste bad:)
This is just odd....we went through all of this with Zoie as a puppy.
Oh yeah & Her farts are HELLA stinky! She farts alot too:P

Bella

Bella fits in wonderful with our family. I think her & Zoie are related somehow.
Bella has a fetish with poop right now.....she likes to eat it
They make a powder to mix in their food that makes poop taste bad. Zoie went through this as a puppy. Counting the accidents that she has had (One involving paw painting with poop in her crate!) I still think she is doing awesome & learning fast.
She did give Zoie her cold. Now everyone in this house has had this nasty cold! Bella had antibiotics for her cold, I'll have to get some for Zoie.

Bella has gained weight fast, she loves food.

She loves me to death....I keep tripping over her, she does not like it when she can't see me or be near me.

Zoie & Food

My little freak Zoie has treated her food luke warm since she came to live with us. Royal Canin was what she was raised on. She would eat her bowl empty then leave it for a couple days at a time. This pattern has gotten worse in the last few months.
The girl can't live on cookies.
I tried some Halo dog food (The company Ellen bought). So I had two bowls of food sitting out. She could would eat both bowls at once then leave the bowls sitting full of food for days.
I noticed that when we went to her BFF's she would go straight to Hattie's food bowel & eat like I did not feed her.
Her tummy has been upset this weekend. She has not had many kibbles. So I went to the Vet's & got a bag of Hill's Science Diet.
Right out of the bag she loved it. I hope she keeps liking it.

Zoie's hair cut was a big adventure for her!

Zoie got to spend a whole night & day with Aunt Donna & Hattie. She went to the doggie spa today. She's so cute.
I think though that she is a bit angry with me, I think she missed me. She has slept since the very moment we got home. I keep thinking she is sick because she is never this calm.

More pics!

On another note.....I keep seeing Ellen talk about & play Guitar Hero on her show. She had a kid on today play through the Fire & Flames on expert. *grrr* I miss playing I'll never get to expert if I keep having to be on the sidelines!
Even though I've not been playing my Tennis Elbow has not improved. I expect to get a shot next time I go in to the doctor.

Zoie ascairt

Zoie was afraid of my birthday card. She is so funny.

Zoie the head of household.

Zoie has one more class. She has learned To heal, sit, sit/stay, down, down/stay, sit from down 2 ways, stand, come, zig zig heal.

I even managed to jog with out her tripping me the other day. She does really good on everything except down. She still is very stubborn, but I think maybe her streaks of FU are getting shorter.
