Yay Bella!

She passed the 'alone in the house' test.  YAY!  Zeus (that's him looking just a bit miffed) isn't sure he likes the arrangement, as he has to stay shut in the bedroom while we're gone until we are sure they are comfortable together.  The baby gate we borrowed just doesn't work in our wonky doorways.  So she is very pleased with herself - him - not so much!   He seems to be saying "When is she leaving?".  Silly dog. 
Things are going well.  She's eating, sleeping all night, and loving the attention.  She's always coming around looking for hugs and kisses, but at the same time, is perfectly content to lie quietly at my feet while I'm beading. YAY TOO!  In fact, (because I talk to the animals) she and I discussed yesterday how she would make the perfect 'shop dog'.  I would love to be able to have another bead shop someday, and she has the temperament that would make her a great companion to take with me everyday.  Bella Beads.  We've already named it.  How could it NOT happen?  :0D
On a more serious note - Click this link to a local news article about a ridiculous measure that is currently being passed around our Michigan legislature regarding pit bulls.  HELLO?  IDIOTS?  It's not the dog that's bad - it's the owners.  But leave it to state officials (aka the idiots) to try and make this bone-headed move....  (An update just a minute ago shows they've 'shelved' the matter.  Good dog!)  Still - if you're an animal lover, it's worth knowing about.  Your town or state could be next....
Stay tuned for more updates.  I think we'll be sitting pretty with our doggie family by July!
