Boring Bella

I know our loyal followers (Hi, Claire, Jimmy, JR and Chris) have noticed Dave and I have been absent from our blog lately. And we could give you lots of excuses.

Like my sister had a baby, fall is a busy time for Dave at work, the holidays, Dave threw out his back or I broke my foot…but we don’t need excuses.

The real reason is because Bella has become boring.

Yes…boring.

We don’t have any good stories. She is a well behaved (for the most part) puppy. She is well trained. If she jumps on the couch and tries to lick Draco’s ears we say:

Leave it. Off.

And she stops licking and jumps off the couch. Sometimes we have to say it twice but she does it.

I can walk her with my boot cast on my foot. I am not suppose to but she will walk on a loose leash enough that I can walk her without losing my balance.

She doesn’t eat/chew on our belongings. She sticks to her toys. If she does have something that is not hers; we tell her to drop it and she will.

She doesn’t eat Dandelions anymore.

She doesn’t go potty in the house anymore.

She has stopped humping Draco (okay maybe this one needs a post….)

She is not perfectly behaved, she is only 15 months old. But for 15 months is a really good dog.

Here are a few of the things she knows:

Sit

Down

Crawl

Stay

Come

With me (run to my left side and sit)

Heal (she needs some more work on this one)

Front (Sits in front on me)

Back up (walks backwards)

Bow

Leave it

High five

Wave

Pound it

Off

Wait

Sit and wait for permission before walking through a doorway

Loose leash walking

Roll over

Sit politely for petting (she sometimes forgets this one)

Sits when I stomp my foot (not how I broke my foot by the way)

That is a lot for Dave and me; and for Bella.

But back to Bella being boring…well there is not too much to write about.
