Somebody new to love.....
Meet Bella Blain. It seems that she's probably gone farther in her 6 months of life than most dogs move around in their lifetime. I first heard about her at my brother and sister's 21st birthday party. My brother's best friend (and sister's ex-boyfriend) approached me asking if I would mind taking her in because her owner (one of his young friends I think) was neglecting her. He was kicking at her and forgetting to feed her. Of course, I told him to bring her over immediately. When I didn't hear from him two days later, I called to check in. He had picked her up but had fallen in love with her and decided to keep her. He named her Bella Blain. The Blain part was after David Blain since she was good at "disappearing." A few months later, my brother and this friend decided to move out together and of course, the lease said no dogs. Again, I offered to take her (though I still hadn't seen her at all yet). He said his brother wanted her so I assumed that was that. Then I get a random call (about 1 week later) from my brother's friend asking if I wanted her. Apparently, she had nipped at a little girl in the house and they didn't want her. So, I guess the 3rd time's a charm!
I had been told she was a chihuahua but I'm definitely seeing some other mix in there, a terrier of some kind. Any guesses? She's a sweet little thing but I'm already working with her on some behavior modification. Today at lunch, she was on my lap and Cody (my blue heeler) came walking up and she nipped at him.....I'll have none of that! Besides, I need to freshen up on my dog training skills anyway so she'll be good practice.
I'm sure this isn't permanent but I'm going to make sure that the next home she finds is!!!! In the meantime, I'm lovin' it!
