| Bella turned one June 10, 2011. We had her a little birthday party. She didn't care too much for her hat. |
 |
 |
| Bodhi decided he would attend, too :-). |
 |
| I love my baby so much! |
 |
| She is so affectionate and sweet. |
 |
| Bella and Bodhi love their Daddy. He is definitely number one in their eyes! |
 |
| Bella blowing her candles out. They couldn't wait for cake. |
 |
| Bodhi's had enough of this party... |

| Bella getting her t-shirt on. She loves her Daddy. |
 |
| Aren't they cute? Bodhi's eyes look green in this photo. Sometimes they look blue. |
 |
| What a cutie pie. |
 |
| Bodhi was working hard to get his long johns off. |
 |
| Bodhi looking very distinguished. |
 |
| Bella looking around for something she can get into. |
 |
| Bodhi keeping an eye on Bella. He knows she can get into trouble in a minute. |
 |
| Bella looks so innocent here. The key word is LOOKS :-). |
 |
| Bodhi and Bella love to play with their Daddy. I am pretty much chopped liver when Daddy is playing with them. |
 |
 |
| Bella was so still when I took this. I couldn't believe it. |
 |
| I just love these two babies so much. They have brought so much fun, joy, laughter and love to our lives. |
 |
| We met Bella for the first time Valentine's Day weekend. And what a present of love and joy she has brought to our lives so far. She is soooo loving. She was eight months old when we first met her. She is a cavalier King Charles spaniel. I became familiar with this breed through my sister-in-law, Margie. She has four in her family. They are the most loving, affectionate dogs you have ever met. I love Bodhi so much but he is such an independent little male and he's not too much into receiving or giving affection or being held. I wanted a puppy who was affectionate. She is such a comfort to me, especially after I get chemo. She's just my little buddy and I just love love love her! |

| Rob taking her for a walk before we head home. |
 |
| We stopped by Rob's sister Geri's house near Birmingham and let them all meet Bella. She was a hit. |
 |
| From the first moment she saw Rob she bonded with him and felt safe with him. |
 |
| I love this picture. Geri loved Miss Bella, too. |
 |
| Leah meets Bella for the first time. |
 |
| Kristen meets Bella for the first time. Bella was a great little trooper. She didn't mind being passed around. She is very friendly and likes meeting people. |
 |
| We had to take our new baby to PetSmart to get her "the works." |
 |
| Bella BEFORE. |
 |
| The ladies at PetSmart were wonderful. They really cared about their jobs you could tell. |
 |
| Bella AFTER. |
 |
| Here's she saying, "Hey, Mama, they made me into a princess :-)" |
