Update on the Adventures of Bella

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

It's been about a month since I have posted about my dear Bella, and it's time to finally add more thoughts on her progress so she doesn't get a reputation as  BAD DOG BELLA.

So here are the things I am grateful for today:

1. The carpet is totally intact.

2. I have trash in my bathroom trash cans and it stays there.

3. All socks in our drawers have partners, matching ones at that..

4. I can drop something and not have to do summersaults to get to it before her anymore!

5. We can leave a book, newspaper or magazine out and still be able to read it later, in one piece.

6. She has not eaten a morsel of poop in AT LEAST a month, so she now can give us doodlekisses!!!

7. She will come sit by me and just be. Not need a rub NOW, or need to play ball, or need to go out. Just BE with me.

8. We can actually drive for at least 20 minutes before an upchuck.

9. Her come, leave it, uh-uh's, back-up, stays and off are very reliable. (95% of the time)

10, People can come to the door and not be attacked, jumped on or all their makeup licked off their faces!

 

So Bella is making great progress and even though there are still days we have to have a girl to girl talk about taking my clothes out of the bedroom and strewing them through the house, they are no longer chewed to threads! 

She ain't so BAD after all, I think I'll keep her. :)

Good girl, Bella!  We're very proud of you.  It is so wonderful when our Doodles get to this point, and we know all our work was worth it.  Woo Hoo!

And Ned still gets into the trash....  And Sunny does too.

Congrats, that is huge progress.  The door thing at our house is just nuts.  I have too many dogs and each one gets the others overly excited.

Thanks guys. She comes from really good parents so I knew it was in there somewhere. Just had to wait it out and give lots of time to training.

I think Bella is a model citizen now, She certainly has my two topped in some areas.
