My Sassy Bella Girl

So my friends have kids, and I have.... Bella. I decided I wanted a dog when I was about to move into my first apartment. I had lived with my parents, with a boyfriend, and in the college dorms, but never all alone. My parents had owned dachshunds and I knew I liked them, and one of my favorite patients had just bought one, so I went to her breeder. I called her and told her that I was about to live by myself for the first time, and that I was looking for a new best friend. When I arrived at her house, I had a pen full of about 10 puppies to choose from. The boys were quickly eliminated leaving the baby girls. I limited them down to two- a fat little red one that looked like my mom's Ladybug, and a tiny dapple, the runt of all runts, that seemed so sweet. When I told the breeder my decision, she told me that I was the only person that she had offered the tiny dapple to, and that she had planned on keeping her and breeding her because of her coloring and her small size. She only offered her to me because she was a loner, and didn't play with the other puppies too often, so she thought she might be good for a young, single girl in college. So that is the story... of how I got my girl. These are the most recent Bella pics!




Her favorite toy is a squeaky soccer ball. That makes my soccer-player husband happy!

I tried to show her different-colored eyes.

I feel like she looks puppyish here.



Sleepy little girl is just waking up from a nap.
