Don't leave me alone in the kitchen!

This is a picture of guilty Bella. She was naughty this morning. She slept with Aleece but woke up about 5:30. She sleeps at Aleece's feet but when she wakes up she gets up and lays right by Aleece's face and just stares at her. At this point, Aleece is trying to ignore her but can feel her stare boring holes into her. She is patient for about 30 minutes and then she is done. She stands up and begins to get Aleece's attention by nuzzling her, licking her and if all that doesn't work, jumping down from the bed and scratching at the door.
In frustration, Aleece gets up and takes her to the kitchen and locks her behind the gate. This is not definitely not what Aleece had in mind. She is distressed as Aleece turns to go back to her warm bed that is calling her name. Bella tries to get her attention.
She opens my cabinets and knocks my plastic ware on to the floor. She gets a paper bag and rips it to shreds to show her displeasure at being left alone in the kitchen.
We got your message loud and clear, Bella!

Almost got away with it!

It was almost Bella's lucky day! First, she wedged out of the back door while Aleece and I were going out to cook the steaks. She had a great time running around the back yard but we caught her and took her back inside. The second time, she was a bit quicker and was able to run down the driveway and she.was.gone.!!!

She discoverd that she could take the lid of the dog food off with her nose. Yes, we caught her red pawed standing on her hind legs trying to eat right out of the dog food container. She got a stern "talking to" about her manners.

Later, she saw CJ and Mark playing ball in their front yard and she was racing as fast as her stubby legs would carry her. She took a side trip to chase a cat and then back to our neighbors front yard. She pushed the back gate open and before anyone could say "Bella" she was inside their house running around like she had just downed a quad venti coffee of the day!

Finally got her back into the house and she collapsed, exhausted from her sprint across the street.



She ended the night being entertained by watching u tube dogie videos. One of her favorite pass times.
