Thought I would give you an update on our little Border Collier and send you some pictures. She is doing great as you will see.

After I picked her up there at the kennel, she rode great in my Friend Roberta's van back to Mobile. She was real shy at first. If she picked up a toy, she would immediately drop it if she saw us looking, but she enjoyed all the attention. The only thing she was bold about was chasing squirrels and birds. Ha.
But boy has she a lot changed! She now plays with her toys with us and by herself (picture of her in "her" chair with two of her favorites), is my little shadow, loves my husband Forrest, swims in the bay when we go out there with her, runs and jumps like a deer in the yard, sleeps under the fan when outside, rides in the truck when invited, and is alert to everything, acts protective of her home, well, you get the jest of it.
What hasn't changed is her sweet nature, minds well, sits and lies down on command, and is a good little companion on walks. Thank you so much for helping us to adopt Elbe (I will have to explain the name another time).
Best,
Lolita

Just wanted to share a couple of pics of Bella since she's about a year old now. If she had a voice, she'd tell you how lucky we were to have her and how good she has it. Miranda and I play chase with her in the afternoons after she watches Disney TV while Miranda is in class. After Bella plays outside every afternoon, she likes to jump in the water and get the dirty off. She can't stand it so she gets a quick wash off between good baths. And she likes to be clean so she can sleep next to her mom with her own little blanket. And don't think she doesn't know where it's kept.

One evening we were watching TV and had our little blankets over our feet and legs. Bella jumps up and goes to my room and comes dragging hers back...lol. This dog is a laugh and a half sometimes. Bella has done every well with every few problems (I don't know how I got so lucky!) Only one trip to the vet other than check ups. She ate something outside that made her break out. We do have to watch cause she loves to eat ice if you happen to let one fall out of the ice maker.
All in all, as you can see, Bella has grown up to be quite a loved girl. She never wants for treats or love.
