Update!!

Bella
is doing very, very well. We just love her so much.
She comes when she's called, she has learned to
be amazingly well mannered, is pretty reliable with
her potty training, and has overall been easy to
train. She does occasionally bark at a passing jogger
(our front doors are glass French doors, so she
can see out), but she stops if we tell her no.
Her
allergies seem to be under control, although every
so often she throws up at random. She takes her
medication faithfully and has been for her first
checkup with our vet. She's a smart little girl!
She understands things quickly, and she's quite
a strategist. She has learned how to outmaneuver
Alex for toys, for example. She and Alex have learned
to be best friends. They wrestle and play about
every night and when Alex is done, she quits trying
to engage him. She still has a lot of energy but
she's not hyper like she used to be. I can't imagine
a better dog than Bella.

Bella
has learned to come when called about 75% of the
time, and she and Alex have learned to be buddies.
She is sweet and easy to get along with, has calmed
down a little although she is still energetic, and
while she's still in need of more training she is
well on the way.
For some reason Alex and Bella like one little chair
in the dining room, and they sit on it together.
Also Bella likes to sit on Wayne's lap or mine.
We are so happy to have Bella. She's a delight.
