With tears flowing, I write this memorial to Bella. 12 years ago she was deemed "unadoptable" as she had bitten a young girl. What could not be told was the child had attempted to put doll clothes on Bella bending her legs in all ways to get those clothes on. It hurt! so Bella bit her to stop hurting her. I fell in love at first sight and since I had no children in the house all would be well. She became "momma " dog to all my other critters, always checking on them and if they squeeled she came a running. Always happy and having a wagging tail. When really happy that tail would go round in circles. Just in case you wonder....she had no problem with other children. I would let them meet my sweet girl and she was always happy, tail wagging and gentle with the kids. She really loved kids!. The original owners just don't know what a wonderful pet they got rid of, all because they did not teach their child Bella was a living, breathing being not to be abused. She only had one flaw...being Jack Russell she could get on the deck rail, walk it to the other side of the fence and go on an adventure. She needed to greet neighbors but ALWAYS came back when called with tail wagging..."see mom, I have greeted everyone and wished them a good day!" She lived 16 years and is now with her brother and sisters in puppy heaven. Rest in Peace, my sweet Bella you deserve this rest and meeting new friends. We all miss you and you will live in our hearts forever.
