Bella Damn Fine

As much as we love our little Bella (and she means everything to us, if you can't tell), after a day like yesterday you just have to sit around and pet, kiss and love on her.

As special as every dog is (and in my book, all k9s are the tops) sometimes you get blessed with a spirt that just changes not only your life but how you look and live your life.
Bella is such special, special, special being that words always fail me when it comes to trying to describe how wonderful she is and just how bless we are. Some of our family (and maybe a friend, but friends always understand more the fam. cause, well, you choose your friends) don't get why we photograph and post about her everyday. Why we put so much effort into this, into her, why we have spent so much money on her (her med. bills over the years alone have been a small fortune - lets just say we could of gotten the largest mercedes if that gives you an idea). But what they don't understand (though our close friends always do) is what and how so very much she gives back to us.
The laughs, giggles, smiles, kisses, those looks, the times she has outsmart both of us, each time she been the life of the party, when she knows just when you need to nuzzle her, when no matter what health issue she has had she keeps fighting forward, her strength, her courage, her fearlessness, how she knows just who needs loving and when and just how share her love with everyone she meets.

If i've ever met a more perfect being, i could not tell you, for she is perfection. She is the fairy tale you always dream of.

And i say to you, for though i am still young in years i am old enough to have learned (from Bella, of course!) that if you are fortunate enough to be able to share your life with a k9, then know and truely understand just how lucky you are. Love, appreciate and cherish every second you have with them. Savor every trial, challenge and moment they bring to your life. And it doesn't matter if they are 12 mo. or 12 years, take as many freaking pictures as you can.

Love and kiss on them everyday cause they love you like no one ever will.
Bella rule #6: Always make them smile.
