A Couple of Handsome Guys

9/8/2019

Today Lisa came again with her handsome Bernese boy.  She brought a friend with another winsome Bernese fellow.  After visiting with Bella in my room, we three ladies went outdoors with Bella.  Lisa brought out her dog, Dante.  Bella was not afraid, and even a little interested.  After a short while, Lisa's friend, Joan, brought her boy out.  Ozzie was very affectionate toward Bella and even licked her ear several times in between investigating her in all sorts of places.  Bella wasn't terribly responsive, except with her eyes.  Her eyes were big, liquid and soft brown-wider than I'd ever seen them.  She watched my face, she watched Lisa's face, and she even checked out newcomer, Joan.  She  frequently returned her gaze to my face to study me.  

The three of us, that is the six of us, spent about an hour together in the beautiful early fall sun.  Bella showed some concern, but also interest.  Although there were times when she wanted to go back inside, no doubt to her safe place on her bed in my room, her eyes were also gleaming more brightly than I have seen them before.  How would you feel if two handsome suitors showed up at your door and vied for your attention?  

Ozzie has  a large fenced yard where he lives with Joan.  He is interested in company while Joan is away at work.  I am sure that he was whispering invitations in Bella's ear.  After a satisfying visit, and a little tour around the yard, I let Bella return to her safe place.  Did the special brightness in her eyes portend her awareness of new possibilities?  Would she enjoy the companionship of her own kind?  Surely a chance to romp with a friend would be preferable to days spent in the corner of my room.  Bella, can you tell me what you want?  Were you telling me with your bright, open, shiny eyes?

    please note:

    This page is not professional, and has nothing to do with the rest of my website.  I'm writing as Bella's mommy,  just for fun.   Perhaps this blog will be helpful to others  working with former puppy mill dogs.
