The Adventures of Miss Bella: March 2010

Well, Bella had a great March 2010. It also commemorated the year anniversary of the trip to Boise, Idaho to go and get her. See here for the story of our trip to get her one year ago. It's hard to believe that it's already been a full year. March of 2010 was a little different than the prior year because instead of a tiny puppy that we were learning all about, we had a full grown dog and EXTREMELY busy schedules and a slightly different life. Luckily, we also have a great neighbors with two kids who love Bella and volunteered to watch her when we are gone. We pay the kids, of course, and it's such a great deal for us (and them!) When I was working and Tim wasn't, he would take care of her and on the days when Tim wasn't working and it was a weekend and I was at work, I'd take care of Bella (aka: wear her out) and then take her into the office.


Bella snoozing away in my office... She's happy as a clam.

But, don't worry! If she gets thirsty, she just drinks out of a regular cup. It's a little messy but it works.

And sleeping some more... I was so proud of her, she did GREAT when I brought her in. I did have to shut the door to get her to lay down and sleep. And if someone walked by, she guarded my office by barking. Other than that though, she was a rockstar.

Naturally, we can't go a month without the poor pup getting sick. In March she developed a sinus infection (no, the above is not white fur, it's snot. Sorry, that's disgusting). A couple of weeks later, the sinus infection turned into pink eye. Fun times for all! Did anyone know that dogs can get pink eye?? Not me! Didn't seem to affect her energy level one bit, though, and luckily her poops have remained stable.

March was gorgeous and sunny the whole month (of COURSE, since all of us poor accountants are stuck in the office without any hope of going outside!) Bella likes to lay in the house in the sun so she had a lot of time where we moved her bed so she could do just that.

And again... looking at Calvin, laying and basking in the sun.

And one more... pretty rough life, eh?
