And They Called it Puppy Love

Life is so much better with Kirby and Bella in our lives. They bring us so much joy. No matter how mad I get at them for chewing up wrapping paper or for waking me up at 7:30 in the morning, they still love me unconditionally and always are SO happy to see me. I saw a quote recently about dogs and it said that they love their owners more than themselves. I think that is so true and it so great to know that another thing love me more than they love themselves. They truly are my best friends!

Kirby has mellowed out quite a bif since Bella has come into his life. He loves his playmate and they are always up to no good😊🐶. His favorite thing is for me to hold him like a little baby when he sleeps. I know when we have a baby someday it is going to be a rude awakening for him haha. He also loves to be outside so does Bella actually and we are looking forward to it warming up so we can go on walks and spend out days playing in the backyard.

Bella is so sweet and cute. You just can't not love her. She loves her mom and dad but even more she LOVES food. I thought Kirby loved food but it is nothing compared to her. When I'm eating if I don't give her scraps fast enough I have a little barker at my feet. She is a new big girl now because she has recently learned how to jump on furniture. We are so so proud of our little girl🐶

Next week they are going in for their grooming and Bella is getting her first "big" haircut... Bittersweet!!
