Bella's Still Here

Yesterday Andrew and I were at the Humane Society from 11-2 with Vicky. A person from the Animal Shelter was also there. We arrived a little early so we took Bella for a walk around the lake. She seemed to have fun.

At 11 we went into the training room and waited for Vicky to arrive. She was running a little late. Once she got there and we set things up we waited. Vicky had a litter of five puppies, a 10 month old Rat Terrier (Lucky, who I took a picture of for Petfinder), and Bella.

There weren't many people around at all. Most of the people who came into the room were just looking. I'm not sure if people weren't out because it was a nice day or something else. Nothing was adopted!

So we took Bella back home. There was an application waiting for Puck, a black lab mix the same age as Bella. They look like they could be littermates! It turns out Nancy knows these people. Vicky was going to see if they'd be interested in Bella because she's calmer than Puck and would probably do better in a home with a 9 and 5 year old. Vicky called this morning and said that this family wants to look at Puck and Bella so we'll see when they call to set up a meeting and where this possible lead goes.

At least Bella seems to like it here and Beacon and Haven don't seem to mind her. Beacon continues to try and play with her so that's a good sign that he not only is tolerating her but actually likes her.

Thursday I started teaching Bella "sit". She's not completely consistent but she does know the command now. This week I might start with "stay" and "come". She's really smart and learns quickly.
