Meet Bella…

Howdee all,
Two weeks since we left our Home on Wheels in North Carolina and headed to Connecticut for a Family Christmas.  A very busy, fun filled two weeks…despite the sudden loss of my parents shining, smiling Star just a few days before Christmas.
We were happy that we were there for my parents to make a very difficult time a bit easier for them. My father is a person, who can not be without a dog….so…we searched and searched online until we found
Bella…Bella_006
She is eight months old…house trained..and a very sweet Dobbie that hardly barks.
Her owners both worked..the wife was pregnant and they had no time for Bella…they were sad to loose her after eight months but felt it was best for Bella…she spent over eight hours a day in a crate..not to mention the evening.
She  will now have plenty of attention.

And some obedience training…she had the tendency to jump on peopleBella_002Bella made herself at home and is very happy…Bella_012
And so is Dad…

I hope you all had a Wonderful Holiday… I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. I need to read blogs to catch up on everyone…I am so behind with everything…..Hope to see my cyberfriends soon.

I made a thirty second video of our Christmas Road trip using a cool site called Animoto.. I saw my blogger friend Andrew had a video he made for his post Backyard Birds Rock!! and I thought it was cool so I gave it a try myself. Any video over thirty seconds requires a paid membership.

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

We are still in Ct. but will be leaving soon on our journey back to Homey and NC.

Have a great New Years Eve!
