The 5lb chickens are rinsed and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper on the outside with additional salt & pepper and a pierced lemon in the cavity. Wings are folded back and the legs are tied. The oven is at 400º with timer set for 30min....

I know, most everyone out there will think we are totally crazy (and yes we are), but these following pictures are the steps to preparing Bella's meals. We usually prepare this for her twice a week, doing two chickens with carrots and garret yams...
more to come

Here she is waiting for her dinner....thing get kind of complicated when the vet says she has to take her pills on a full stomach and she thinks its just great. In fact she is always reminding us when "it's time" —that girl has a clock built in to her!

Heads up for next week...we're going to show exactly what she eats. It's just for fun. We've actually done a lot of research about diet and it's amazing how much diet effects the wellness of these animals. (Strange side note: we started "preparing" her meals at home and her ears are never dirty. I used to clean them at bath time. Now I just check them to be sure they are clean and healthy. Yay no more yeasty ears!) I personally think diet is the key to her health. There are somethings you can fix and somethings you can't, so you pick your battles and do the best you can.

I hope you get a chance to check out the links at Squidoo. I think it's going to be a great way to get information out there and find answers to questions of day to day life.

New Links

I really want to be good about this electronic journaling. I am trying to be better so in a last ditch effort to see if it can be done, I listened to the author Seth Godin, I finally decided to start a lens for Bella on Squidoo. There should be a link at the bottom but being one of those people who feigns embracing new technology, we'll see what happens. There has been a lot that has happened in the last 12 years and continues to happen daily. I can't decide if it's Bella or us but I promise to be honest, no matter how humiliating....g

Ok, Bella doesn't usually let us do the 'food on head trick' (Princess Bella likes to be waited on, not perform cheap tricks for the lower beings' amusment). And yes we will pay dearly later, the princess will get her revenge, but hey it's worth it, she's cute as crap here.

When you are in the studio, always expect an opinion from the art expert and guru herself, whether you want it or not.

Beautiful Bella eyes, waiting patiently for her homecooked chicken and veggie dinner. As the time for the chicken to be done, she gets closer & closer to the kitchen.
