Bella's Best Friend

Bella loves Haven. She's always trying to get Haven to play. This morning the two were sleeping next to each other, which is a first. Haven likes playing with foster dogs but doesn't often let them sleep near her. I guess she likes her space unless she's sharing it with Beacon.

Bella and Haven are a lot alike. They like chasing and being chased. They both act a little silly and crazy.

Bella seems to copy what Haven's doing quite a bit. In the evening if we're watching TV Bella will bark at something (and sometimes nothing) and get the other two dogs riled up. Haven does this to Beacon, especially when she wants to move in on a toy he has or take his spot next to us.

Bella's hit and miss as to whether she'll eat her food out of the bowl. Sometimes it takes flicking pieces of food across the floor for her to chase and then eat. Sometimes it takes feeding her from your hand. If you wait long enough she usually will eat on her own out of the bowl but with Beacon and Haven waiting for an opportunity to scavenge we usually try and get Bella to finish her food as quickly as possible. She usually doesn't even start eating until our dogs have finished even though she is given her food first. We've wondered if she purposely waits until they're done because they're both higher in the pecking order.
