I used to ban Bella from the sofa cushions because she broke down the stitching on the previous sofa. As you can see, it's a battle that I have abandoned in favor of allowing the Lady of the House to languish anywhere she wants.

Hangin' with one of the lively locals in San Antonio.

You know you're at a circus when these clowns show up. With a chain saw, no less.

Well, bless her heart. Don't you just love the way Kristi manages to keep her extensions gracefully draped over her bullet-proof vest while personally conducting immigration raids?

Agreed. Adopt, don't shop. That's how this little lady joined the family.

My Bella says Hi to your baby. She's a senior dog now, but will always be my baby.

This makes me smile today. And don't we need a little of that right now?

This is Bella, otherwise known as Resident House Tyrant.

Good morning, y'all. It's cold and I won't give up my blankie yet.

Aaw, so sweet. My old girl is 13.

Bella says Hi, BlueSky peeps. Nice to be here.
