This past weekend I decided to take Bella out to my stepson's baseball game. Well I have to say she did beautiful. She has always been a little nervous around men and I have been trying to get her out to meet more men. Well Bella politely said hello to another mom who came to watch and just loved the little girl. She even refrained from going for the little girls pink stuffy animal which looks just like some of her toys. Her dad came over to say hello and Bella didn't cower away from him and actually let him pet her and licked his hand. It was a first and I didn't even have a treat for her. Stupid me I forgot them at home. She did get a nice ear and belly rub though. Looks like are trips out and about are starting to work. Yah Bella  |

That's good to hear. Do you know why Bella is nervous around men? |
I don't know. She was a rescue and was totally matted but well fed when I got her. Madeline picked her up for me from the persons house. I didn't ask too many questions about the home situation. I do know that the women had the mom and all six "puppies" which she never was able to sell. Bella definitely like females better than men. She doesn't act like she was hit or anything. Maybe a man yelled at her or something. I just keep trying to take her everywhere with me to get out and meet as many people as possible. This weekend it is off to a horse show so a lot of new people and horses to meet. hopefully we will see a few other dogs there as well. |
