She's got skilz....

Bella's boyfriend Tucker's mom sent Bella a very sweet Easter package since Bella could not be there for the annual Easter egg hunt. Let's just say that Bella has perfected her egg opening technique and went through all 10 or so eggs in about 5 minutes. Each egg has a piece of Blue Dog Bakery treats in it (a.k.a Dog crack) and if there were an Easter egg hunt competition for dogs Bella would rule.

Warning to Lulu: Don't try and pick off Bella's eggs.

Girl and a Dog. And a Dog.

Is it too late to change my name to Girl and Two Dogs? Not so catchy. Last week we took a little trip to pick up our new Ridgeback puppy and I am happy to announce that we made it through an entire week. I truly have a new appreciation for my friends that are moms. Getting up at 2, 4, and 6 really doesn't suit me. I heard a report that the average American gets 6.5 hours of sleep a night. I am a 9 hour sleeper. I don't use an alarm clock. I just fall asleep and wake up almost exactly 9 hours later and I like it that way.


Bella and I had a great thing going. Get up, she would eat her breakfast and then take about a 2 hour nap before we went out. Well the little one (still nameless after a week) wakes up at 7 (if we are lucky) ready to chow and then play. I mean PLAY. I sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with her. She runs down the hallway so she can get a really big running start and then LEAPS at Bella. All four paws off the ground. If she were a child I think she might have ADD. She will go go go until she falls over and goes to sleep.



She is also unusually hairy for a Ridgeback. She has the strangest really long what I assume are eyebrows. They are like 3 inches long!!! I'm glad she is not a human girl because I am pretty sure she would be teased on the playground for how hairy she is and have to later employ a full-time waxer. She also has strange hair elsewhere but that is probably TMI.


She is really sweet and very fun and Bella seems happy about the new addition. We were a little concerned as Bella is somewhat set in her ways but she has adjusted really well and loves to have a playmate of her own.

Now she just needs a name. If the indecisive Libra in our house could just make a decision that would be great. Really.
