I love all my people but I love my peace and quiet too.

It's Bella. I have a new toy. It is a stuffed goose that honks when I bite it in exactly the right spot. I have a new bed too. My bed is awesome because is has sides that are as tall as I am when I curl up to go to sleep. I also have a new collar tag and leash. My tag says my name and my leash glows in the dark. Now, you may think, "What a spoiled dog you are Bella," but if you thought that you would be wrong. I am not spoiled at all. 

You see, I just came home from a very big adventure. I got to spend a week in a giant house with a lot of people who gave me good food off the table and pet my head. But they were also loud and played loud music and sometimes they ignored me and left me in a strange room all by myself. I would have been scared but I had my new goose and my new bed so I knew it was alright. Plus I could always sneak up on the bed if no one was looking. 

The best part of a puppyful adventure is the puppy.

The snow is frosty, bright, and deep..

The snow is so deep I can't see where I am going. I have to burrow in little snow tunnels to get to the good places in my yard, like the wood pile and behind the basketball hoop where I keep my collection of old socks. I know my old socks are there somewhere, probably frozen solid.

Holiday Wishes from Bella

Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Come home soon and I promise I will play with you.

Love, Bella

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends, canine and human alike.

Thanksgiving is Almost Here

I cannot wait for Thanksgiving. I am wagging my tail and turning in circles just thinking about it. My house will be full. My favorite people will come home. And then they will argue about who I love best, but that's OK because I love them all best. And maybe I'll get some extra snacks.

This is my plan for Thanksgiving:

• door opens
• wag tail
• get hugs
• long walk to the beach
• take a swim
• long bike ride in the woods
• dinner
• snacks
• sleep 
• dreams
• get more hugs 

 It is a  good plan.

It's Halloween. I have the attitude. All I need is the fancy red cape.

There's no need to fear! Wonderdog is here!
when criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
the cry goes up both far and near 
for Wonderdog! Wonderdog! Wonderdog! Wonderdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Wonderdog! Wonderdog!
when in this world the headlines read
of those whose hearts are filled with greed
who rob and steal from those who need
to right this wrong with blinding speed
goes Wonderdog! Wonderdog! Wonderdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Wonderdog! Wonderdog!

All you need is love.

And love is all you need. Well, you need water and food and a puppy bed too. This is Nala. She lets me sleep in her bed and eat from her bowl. Now, that's what I call a real friend.
