mel 251 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Well after losing 2 elderly shihtzu's and one Lhasa last September and November my heart led me to this sweet baby girl. This is Bella and she is 3 months old. I bought her on yesterday and she is very loving, sweet, full of energy, and demands attention at all times. I picked her out of a litter of 3. She slept well last night but woke up at 5 a.m. this morning wanting to play but that is okay. We played a while, ate breakfast, went to the store, came home, played outside for a while and now she is sleeping. I haven't had a puppy in 13 years but it is coming back to me how much work it is and how much energy they have. She and my other shihtzu Precious are getting along well which I knew they would because Precious is very loving and sweet. She is acting like she is the mama and watching Bella's every move. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mel 251 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thank you all. She is the sweetest baby girl. I took a nap today and had her on the couch with me. She came and laid her head right on my chest and we napped together. The breeder told me she was very lovable. I sent her a picture of Bella today and she was very happy that she was adjusting well in her new home. She has one puppy left, a little girl. I am tempted to get her but I have a 15 year old shihtzu Buddy who has horrible arthritis and his back legs are not sturdy and give out sometimes and sometimes I have to carry him so I have to block that out of my mind. But otherwise the vet says he is ok for an old guy still eats and drinks good but I have to think about him and his care but happy little Bella came into my life. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mel 251 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just an update. Bella's growing into a big girl. She is teething and biting on everything. She is a little over 4 months old and doing great. It's hard to see her face because it is mostly black but here is my sweet baby girl who loves to lay on my laptop, explore outside and the last two pics are of her at my job lounging around on one of the tables. I picked the perfect puppy for the family. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Summerangel 18,997 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Bella is absolutely beautiful. Puppies are hard work , but so adorable too lovely pictures of her 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunlite 9,105 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Puppies are a lot of fun as well as work but they don't stay that way for long. Enjoy the ride! Oh and I adore Himilyan chews for them. They are harder and last longer than bullys and when they get small, you can microwave the piece where it expands and is like a hard biscuit they can eat meaning no waste. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mel 251 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Well here is Baby Bella. (Her nickname) She will be 7 months old on the 18th of this month. Not much of a baby anymore. I still lug her around. We went to the vet today and she was a whopping 9 pounds but very lean. She went to visit her mom and dad today (at the breeders) . Mom was not to thrilled but dad ran and played with her. She is very rough and will run and jump on other dogs wanting to play. The breeder said she cannot believe she weighs that much. Bella's dad weighs 9.5 pounds and her mom is 12 pounds. She might not get much bigger but if she does that's fine because she will always be my baby girl. Bella's mom and dad is the black and white one sitting on the wooden floor and mom is the gold and white one and the breeder just sent me a picture of her other shihtzu that just had babies at 4 am this morning.
