Our neurotic daughter

Almost exactly a year ago, I decided that I was done being the only girl in an all-male household (oh, who am I kidding ... I'd have no idea what to do with a daughter) and we got Bella. For those who haven't yet met her, she is a Labradoodle (half-Lab, half-standard Poodle) that we got from the Humane Society when she was about six months old. Here's our little girl:


She's incredibly intelligent, wags her tail with her entire backside, and is unswervingly loyal. Okay, so she freaks out when anyone new comes to the house or if she sees other other dogs when we're on a walk, but we're working on it. The key phrase for any visitors to our home is "don't make eye contact." That seems to do the trick - thanks "Dog Whisperer" and Travis (beewee) for helping us figure that one out.

Yeah, she's neurotic. But she's our girl.
