More Puppy Pictures

We've had Bella for over 3 weeks now, and she's doing great. We started her in obedience training yesterday (using the Click system, which really seems to work), and she is picking up commands quickly. It seems we have a smart dog on our hands, so we'll have to keep her busy and challenged!

Here are some more pictures of our pretty Bella. She loves to "herd" her balls and get two of them in her mouth at the same time. She'll play with them for hours by herself, batting the balls around with her paws. It's super cute. This pink rubber mesh ball is perfect, because she can wrap it around her jaw and get another ball on top.



It also works as a great chew toy.



Here's Russ bonding with his girl.




And here's a video of her playing fetch in our apartment.

She IS so smart! That's super cute about having two balls in her mouth at the same time. It's good that she can play by herself - gives you a break after a tough day at work ;)

Gus has a mesh ball too (but it's blue)! We call it his "hexagon ball" and it is probably his favorite toy. Those things appear to be virtually indestructable- and they even withstand "tug-o-war" with Gus. Best think Kirk ever bought! Bella is so cute- I feel she and Gus, with their herding instincts, would be best buds! I love the two balls in her mouth- she's a riot!
