Originally uploaded by studio583art.

Bella is feeling better after her big day at the vet for her allergies. The meds are already helping her ears and the redness around her eyes and mouth. By midnight and 1 am she was acting her like crazy little Bella again.
Still the silly humans will pay later for the vet trip. The Bella will have her revenge.

Yay, Bella went to the vet today to get so meds for her allergies. She did a little better last night but the vet said that they could perscribe something to help her feel better during yucky pollen season.
She loves to go for rides in her car and as you can see we only get the two front seats, she has the whole backend.

Kaopectate and Charcoal


I was asked by another dog owner what was the naughtiest thing your Bella has done? Here is what i wrote.

Well, after 12 years, it's more like what hasn't my naughty Bella done. The short list: stole everything (Bella motto: What is mine is mine, what is your is mine.), eaten every and anything (many trips to the vet), chased cats (and sorry to say, killed one, yes my girl is a killer), destroyed books, belts, rugs, quilts, chairs and anything else you can think of, jump through one of our windows to get to a squirrel and even started a fight between two other dogs so that she could steal their toy (sometimes she just a little too smart).
Though, the naughtiest (or funniest, cause when you have a weime Bella you just have to laugh) was when we came home one day and she greeted us at the door with a chewed up container of Mink-oil (she had gotten into the cabinent, found and ate it). After calling the maker, poison control, our vet, friends, family and anyone else we could think of, we rushed her to Dr Hyatt (her vet).

Now you have to understand that by this time, Bella had challenged Dr. Hyatt's genius many, many times over (her file she the size of War & Peace, no joke, but that's another story) and that to have a silly weime show up with her chewed up victim (she had worked hard for that container damnit and was not giving it up). Anyway, after he had got through laughing his head off (by this time we all knew there was nothing piosonous in it) he brought out the largest syringe of Kaopectate and charcoal that i have ever seen. We then had to try and squirt this nasty blacker than black concoction into her month and get her to shallow it (not an easy task with a crazy weime) Scott was volunteered to help hold the monster with an assistant while Dr. Hyatt tried to get the concoction into a very not so pleased weime's month. In the end, Bella, Scott, the assistant, Dr. Hyatt and pertty much every surface in the office was covered completely with this wonderful black nasty mess (and no it didn't wash out). I think she only shallowed maybe a teaspoon or two. Now just picture three grown men and a smiling weimaraner sitting the middle of a room with this stuff everywhere covered with this super black gooey yuckiness.

Non the less, no runs or upset tummy, just nice hard blacker than night poops. i think she still to this day looks for that container and i know she thought the whole mess was funny, she is a little freaking comedian.

Bella's Allergies

Originally uploaded by studio583art.

Poor Bella's Allergies just went crazy yesterday, her ears got all red & warm and she flapped out all night. We cleaned them and gave her something for her allergies but it just came on super fast and she was just miserable, we finally seem like they were a little under control around 6am, but non of us got any sleep. Poor thing, hate it when it's like this for her.
Stupid Spring, yeah it's pretty and all, but the pollen here is the worst, hate it. It really affects bella no matter what we do or how we prepare.

Ok i know most of you out there could probably care less what we go throught to keep our girl so healthy, shiney and happy, but i thought it wood be fun just to see if i could explain it all. The crazy thing is this is just what we do for her food, the silly pampered girl's life is sometimes beyond belief.

As our friends say, it's good to be Bella.

Once the chickens are out and on the cutting board, the carrots go back in for another 15 mins. or so. The chickens are then completely peeled. We disgard the skin (even though it is very yummy, Bella can't eat it) By this time Bella is right beside waiting for any bit of chicken she can con you out of. The meat is place into a container (Bella can eat on this for the whole week), the bones are thrown away and the necks we freeze to make stock from later.

From here we place the chickens back on top of the carrots then place back into the oven. If you look close you can see that bella has moved closer even though there is still an hour or more to go. She definitely watches over her food...
