You know when you see something so cute and fluffy that you just HAVE to touch it? And physically restrain yourself from squeezing too hard? That was me when we picked up Bella as an 8-week-old puppy almost 3 years ago.
In my humble opinion, Bella was the softest and most adorable puppy in the whole universe! And to prove that she lived up to this title, here are some pictures on her 'gotcha' day.
See what I mean? Isn't this just the cutest face you've ever seen? Bella the ball of fluff grew QUICK, and it wasn't long before she was stealing the hearts of everyone in the neighborhood.
Now just shy of 3 years old, Bella is full grown and still the fluffiest pup around. Hilarious and always keeping us on our toes, we want to share the happiness she brings us with others as well.
Bella tends to be sensitive. Which makes her great as connecting with others! It also means she is overly dramatic... all the time.
After she snuck downstairs and got caught chewing something, we told her 'no.' Then she decided to pout in the corner.
We were on vacation, breakfast wasn't ready 'on time' according to her standards so she was getting in the way in the kitchen. We told her to go lay down and she got very offended. Even when her breakfast was ready, to prove her point she wouldn't come eat for a while.
Case closed.
Sometimes all you can do is laugh and roll your eyes at her haha. We decided to use this extra sensitivity for good by making her a certified therapy dog. Bella is great with kids, very patient, and just loves to loaf around. Primarily, Bella will focus on improving your kiddo's reading skills. We've noticed that many special needs kids struggle to practice reading. It takes a lot of effort, patience, and they often don't enjoy doing something they aren't immediately good at. Well, who wouldn't want to snuggle up and read books with Bella? In the clinic, we have plans to set up a reading corner where Bella can be integrated into your child's session.
We know your family will love Bella just as much as we do!
Last year Aaron was starting to get sick, but nothing too bad. We assumed he was catching a regular 24hr bug and would be back to normal after a good night's rest. That night Bella laid on him in the picture above. The following day, he was sitting, laying on the couch, or on the ground, she kept sticking her nose right in his ear. Later his ear began hurting and after it didn't get better, we took him to the Dr. where he was diagnosed with an ear infection.
Coincidence? I'll let you decide.
Bella is sweet, emotional, in-tune, and just overflowing with love! We cannot wait for you to meet her. If you are interested in ABA therapy services or even to meet and read to Bella, reach out. We would be happy to welcome you to the Sunshine family!
