Sooty and I had a lovely walk yesterday with Bells and Wendy.

The weather wasn’t the best, but the company made up for it .

We had a lovely walk together today after the rain earlier in the week.

We had a lovely surprise and dumped into Bells at the end of our walk .

Best part of my day is seeing Bells beautiful face and the welcome you get is always so lovely.
Bells was very good coming out and even better once in the woods.
It is very slippery and a couple of times I asked her to wait and I half expected her to get grabby but no she was an angel.
We went on a different path today and I think Bells enjoyed the change as she was very sniffy and also looking in the trees and across the fields.
This girl is simply the best and to see her homed and loved by a family will be a very special moment when it happens.
Until then I will treasure our time together and continue to enjoy your very special cuddles and kisses.

Gorgeous Bells aka ‘Hells Bells’
I took Bells home Friday for another sleepover on Friday. Yet again we had a lovely time and she was the most lovely house guest
Bells was very excited to see me (as I was her) and she hopped in the car like she knew exactly what was happening. I picked her up late ish so it was already dark. When we got home I took her for a little walk and then spent the rest of the evening snuggled up on the sofa. We had no accidents in the home again and she let me know everytime she wanted to go outside for a toilet break! Bells waited nicely for her dinner and afterwards with a full belly she fell asleep on the sofa! We had lovely cuddles and I took her back the next day
I cannot give a reason why this girl would not be the perfect house dog for someone!
She would love a family (with older children as she is quite bouncy) she’s friendly with other dogs
A little nervy with people she’s never met before but once she loves you she really loves you!
I miss her when I haven’t seen her for a few days and she’s always number one on my list

Lovely walk with beautiful Bells today.
First we went to the woods so she could have a good sniff and then paddock where she was very playful.
Bells loves to run and play but after 10 minutes she came and laid at my feet for tummy rubs.

Love this girl so much.

Selwyn and I had a lovely walk in the local village with Tam and Bells today.

Such a lovely time out together even though the weather wasn’t the best.

So we picked Belles up on the 19th for a foster break.

We had a long journey home, approx 1hr 45mins due to Christmas traffic and what a star she was. She was on the back seat, we never heard a peep from her, the only time we remembered she was there was when she'd popped her head on my shoulder just to remind us.

At home she had a wander round the garden, then shower time, once clean that coat of hers is super shiny and so velvety to the touch, stunning! She didnt mind us showering her at all and was very relaxed and clearly didn't mind being touched.

After her shower



Christmas Eve we travelled to Norfolk with a stop off at a pub en-route, Belles was fascinated with the real fire although she took no notice of our log burner at home.
She was a big hit with all she came into contact with. The landlord loved her so much he let her sit on the sofa which she absolutely loved like any self-respecting pooch would!

It was dark by the time we arrived in Norfolk, so just a chilled evening for all.

Christmas Day, went for a lovely walk on the Dunes, a vast space. Belles had a lovely run, she has fantastic recall and will do anything for a treat. Good girl Belles. on the way back we stopped at the local for a couple but sat outside as it was busy. Belles said hello nicely to everyone she met including a Jack Russell.





Belles has good food manners although she does like to bury a bone and does have a very low growl if you go to near but happy to report this behaviour is already shifting.

Belles is very loving, very cuddly and if you like face washes she's your girl!
She's taken everything in her stride.

She opened her Christmas pressie from RR on Boxing day and now has two teddies to play with as we popped in to Pets at Home on the way and bought her first one!



Belles is clean in the home and non-destructive and for such a young dog she loves a bit o' shut eye!

At the pub

You get the gist... a sweet, loving girl. With a little bit of training will be the full package.

Belles opening her Christmas pressie from RR.

As you can see she loved it and says thank you.

It’s so wonderful to see Bells enjoying some home comforts those photos of her on the sofa snoozing, out and about and of course enjoying pub life are everything,
This beautiful, darling girl has come so far, she arrived at RR with nothing, living on a balcony with little human contact and no real idea of what was expected of her. We all scooped her up and showed her what love and life is really about, she is that dog that sneaks into your heart and it’s absolutely impossible not to love her she is the most loving girl and I’m so very happy that she has this opportunity to decompress, finally relax and just be the glorious girl that she is thank you staffylevi for allowing her to shine, seriously jealous of those Bells cuddles

We took Belles for a lovely long walk yesterday, she had a good run keeping us in view at all times. We did a lot of heel work also, and she got it! Such a fast learner and eager to please!
We stopped off at the local and, again, sat outside as it was busy, it got a bit cold so we decided to go in. It was busy, lot's of people and lot's of dogs but, with careful management, as we suspected Belles probably hasn't experienced an environment like this before, she did amazing! Such a good girl!
We stayed for one then headed back where Belles let of her final bit of energy in the garden, had her dinner, then time for her fav thing, a bit of shut eye.
