Bella from Tuckasegee, North Carolina~



Hi Sue,

Thought I'd let you know Bella and I got the basement pumped out for the second time in one week. We had three inches of rain on Saturday so needless to say Sunday morning was basement time again.

I just got back from visiting Mom and yes, Bella accompanied me or is that the other way round? I think I'm her chauffeur! HeeHee! Our little girl is becoming an Ambassador of good will as if we didn't know that already. In fact they're beginning to think about a residential therapy dog as they're seeing the benefits from not only Bella's visits but a few other dogs as well. But they're impressed with Bella's nature, her calmness around unfamiliar smells, sounds and odors, her endless love and all her kisses (as permitted).

Bella met a Dachshund named Maggie yesterday afternoon on our visit to the Unit. Everyone was amazed as these two little girls met for the first time, no barking, growling or anything unpleasant. Just the normal curiosity and smelling ceremony. They acted like they'd know each other for ages! This really impressed everyone, two well rounded, calm dogs can be there to provide much needed joy.

Have a great week!

Love, Hugs and Wet Kisses,
Cherrie' and Bella
