Bella

Bella

My sister Jane is a wonderful person: warm, loving and a nut about animals -- not to the point of certifiable (yet), but crazy about dogs and cats. So, although I was a bit surprised, I wasn't astonished when she called me one day and said "Harry, I just purchased a minature longhaired dauschound for us -- we will own her 50-50."

Now, over the years, various of my comrads have have taken certain strategies to get Marsha into doggies, but this was pretty unusual and I commend Jane for her going at the problem head on.

Last Tuesday night, I met Jane and Bella at Jane's son Andy's in Framingham and Jane handed me Bella and her support equipment. We have all been having a wonderful time with her this past week and I know it is going to be hard to give her back on October 10th when I said we would return her. More pictures...
