Bella Luchini
02/23/2003- some of the latest pictures of Bella. She is such a great dog & growing!!! As of last thursday, she was 12.5 lbs!! Two weeks before that she was 8.5 lbs!! We're starting to think she's got some really big dog mixed in with her!! Of course everyone, including the vet looks at her and says black lab.... she sure looks it. Take a look at those paws in the photo's!! And that harness she is sporting now fits her quite well! (She's already on her second one!)
She is what she is and we love her. I am curious though, I thought Kim told me that Bella's Mom, the cocker spaniel (was she black?) was to come up on the next transport, but I didn't see her on your website. If you know more, I would appreciate the info. I assume you didn't get any paperwork on Bella's first set of shots - we are just proceeding as if she never got them, just in case.
Laura and Michael are so good with her, especially Laura (are you surprised?) Laura is the one who gets up with her every single morning, let's her out and feeds her. In fact, I think on many mornings Laura wakes up Bella, she's so excited!
Bella has had two "play" sessions with our neighbors chocolate labs. They are great dogs and are great with Bella. She loves every person and dog she meets. The 80 lb lab was a little intimidating at first, but once he laid down for her she was all over him! They loved to play together.
So all is well, the housebreaking is going well, she loves to go out in the snow! She's only 9 1/2 weeks, seems like she's older because we've already had her for 4 weeks!!
