The Week that Was

The end of the second week with Bella has come to a close. It's been an interesting week to say the least. Chassie was kind enough to take care of her all day Sunday while I attended the Redskins' game. She was even kinder when she took the night shift as I slept off the loss. I think I returned the favor when she felt under the weather at the beginning of the week. She may have a different opinion though, you can ask her...

Enough about our week though, the real star of this blog is Bella. She really is an adorable pup. Definitely frustrating at times, but the good moments are pure joy. Her teeth are little razors and I can't wait until they fall out and she swallows those little buggers.

She seems to be entertained by the television, which means she must be Chassie's girl. I thought it was just sports that she was interested in, but after talking it over with Chassie, it appears it makes no difference what is on the tube. It only holds her attention for 15-30 seconds at a time, but she's stopped mid-activity and sits on her haunches, watching attentively.

She's starting on a new dog food, but that's Chassie's department. Just listening to her talk about the differences in dog food makes my head spin. It's important since once Draco changed foods he stopped having skin problems. She seems to enjoy the food, though most labs enjoy food regardless. She started out as a grazer and for the first few meals did not even finish her meals. This past week though, she has finished almost all of them and seems to be packing on the pounds.

Her puppy fur is becoming overcome by her overcoat which is coming in nicely. Another nice trait is the lack of puppy breathe. I know some people can't get enough of that, but I for one did not enjoy that. In fact, it was right behind peeing in the house and right in front of those razor teeth. Good riddance to bad breathe.
