On the 9th, my sister came to stay with me for a week with her dog, Boston. Boston is a yellow lab a couple of weeks older than Bella, and this was their first time to meet each other. After the first week of my sister being with me, I went with Bella to drive back to her house...a state away. A 6 hour car ride with two dogs was a lot easier than I imagined it would be. Luckily both pups slept most of the way.
Bella got to play with her older, bigger cousin for two weeks, and in those two weeks a miracle happened! She learned she wasn't the boss! Ever since she has been very calm and mellow, even in her moments of extreme boredom while I work. It has been wonderful. However, she also learned that she is part weasel, and she is a master escape artist. Today she escaped twice from two different yards, one of which I have no idea how she got through. And unfortunately she could care less to come when she is called. She will just look up at me and then stick her little nose back in the ground. Finally after about 5 minutes of trying to beckon her with treats, she got bored and came back to me.
Anyways, here are some pictures from her visit with her cousin. The include a fun game of tag, the laziest tug-of-war game ever, and their first time in the sprinklers.
This is Bella's strategy....dead weight might give her the upper hand in getting the toy. Boston was dragging her across the yard!
And finally the pups are begging to come in. ..unfortunately they were covered in mud.
Nice pictures
