A New Addition to the West Family!




Well, we finally got a pet! It has been a long time since we had any animals in the West home. My friend Gina told me her sister-in-law was selling Boston Terriers and we loved the personality of the dogs so needless to say we bought one! It has been fun and work. We are kennel training her and she is waking up like a newborn! Wow! We are tired but love her. Look at poor Jonny, he's exhausted! Our puppy didn't have a name for about a week and a half because we all couldn't agree. Finally Jenna, Jonny, and I agreed so the majority won out! :-) Her name is "Bella". Her real formal name is "Queen Isabella". Had to get a history name in there, since this was the time period we studied. Our friends the Dodsons and the Maitlands have her sisters. We all have girls, so I nicknamed them the "Supremes". The Dodson's named their dog "Roxy", so Kyle nicknamed our dog, "Bellabong" after the clothingline "Billabong and Roxy". He doesn't like her name very much. :-) She is a blast and has a great personality and is pretty smart, however, she does run into the furniture sometimes.

Wow - you have a blog!!! I'm impressed! I love it. My dog was shoved off the kitchen counter today. Steph put her up there to have apple Jacks with her when I wasn't looking. Yikes!!! Is it wrong to pray for a dog's health and protection?

How cool! I hope you all have many happy moments with Bella. Laura and the kids have been bugging me for a dog for a long time.

When you sent us the picture of "Bella" I found some pictures of Bozo who was Arlen's parent's dog. They are pretty smart dogs. They look kinda regal don't you think? I do like the name Bella. Yes, I know they can be a lot of work when they are puppies. Just like babies, they get hungry and want attention. I think it smart to kennel train them. I like the fact that they don't get real big. Love you all. Grandma Betty
