Bella was 6 they said when I adopted her. She was owned by an older woman who moved somewhere and couldn't keep her. I adopted Bella in late March of 2006, I had lost Mona in October of 2005 and had a big void in my life that needed to be filled. I loved Bella, she was a pain in my ass sometimes but she loved to cuddle and knew the words sit, lay-down, dance, food, walk and many others. Bella-July 5, 2008
