Bella: Snoozes between videos

We have more fab photos and video of beautiful Bella!

When we say 'fab', we mean videos of a puppy that might possibly have discovered how much fun it is to play with the toilet rolll...

We also mean photos of Bella having lovely long snoozes, in whatever position she fancies. Here she is in what for most of us would be really uncomfortable, but not for a relaxed, happy little puppy!

By fab, we also mean videos showing how cute Bella is. We may have said this before, but just look at her little face! That nose! Those eyes! Awwwwwwww!

Time for another snooze. 

We do love snoozy puppies. Their sides go in, out, in, out, while they emit very cute little puppy snuffles and whuffles (yes, whuffles is a word, at least according to us). It's a sign that Bella feels very secure, and has no problem falling asleep sprawled out, whether in her bed, or across the floor.

And here's a reason she's a happy puppy: creative ways to keep her entertained. It's very important to keep an energetic little dog stimulated, and they love games like this, where their tasty treats are hidden. Games are also a brilliant way to strengthen the bond between Bella, and her eventual deaf partner. As you can see, Bella really likes snuffling out the treats, but for some reason she leaves one. Maybe that's for supper later?

It's not all games and snoozes though. Bella has been learning how to visit places such as libraries, coffee shops and, below, the vets.

She's so very good. She just sits down in reception, no problem at all, and waits patiently. Notice how her attention is focused on the person she's with. We call this 'settling' and Bella's brilliant at it. Her future deaf partner will be confident that wherever they go, Bella will make them proud with her good behaviour. This is especially important at the vets, where there might be other animals around.

She does so well that she gets another photoshoot, this time with the vet!

And... time for another snooze.

You deserve it Bella. You've been cute, and entertained us, and been such a very good girl at the vets. Sweet dreams!

We hope you enjoyed this latest peek at Bella's life. She's doing really well, and this is because you have supported her this far. So, until next time, from all of us... thank you for sponsoring Bella!
