There's been a big change at our house. It comes in the form of a little package named Bella Zeta. Bella Zeta means beautiful little girl in Italian, and she definitely fits her name! We picked her up on Sunday, FAther's Day, even though she was a gift for me. She is such a precious little friend. Her mother, Tara, is a Standard French Poodle. Her daddy is a an Italian Spinone.
She has a delightfully pleasant personality, very laid back like her Spinone ancestors, but quite playful as well. She has the most expressive blue-gray eyes I've ever seen in a dog. They say that Spinone eyes are noted for their human like quality and Bella definitely has those eyes. When she looks at me, I melt.
Her first trip to the vet was perfect...no problems. She's already had her first dose of heart worm medication and is scheduled for two more visit to round out her puppy shots. I think I might cry on those days, just as I did when my kids got shots.
And lest you be fooled by her diminutive size, she'll grow...to about 50-70 pounds and 22-26 inches high. More to come!
