Bella, Bell of the Ball It was a sun shiny morning, cold and brisk, the sun was shining beautifully through the big front room window. Three days into the New Year, I was tackling the task of putting away the Christmas dec- orations when the phone rang. I answered the call, it was daughter number one. "Are you and Dad going to be home this morning?" Well, Dad has gone to coffee but he will be back soon. "Oh, are you able to babysit Bella while I take care of a couple of appointments?" My mental response was, hmm, I wonder if Bella will interfere with my project of putting away the Christmas décor. Oh well, I can tackle the care of this young one who really likes her "Granddad." Hubby will be home in a little while and will be anxious to see Bella. Daughter number one arrived a few minutes later with Bella and her bag in her arms. Bella tilted her head and looked directly into my eyes with a pleading mes- sage. That was all it took, I began to talk baby talk to her, lifted her from daughter’s arms. Bella then began to wiggle and squiggle and look at the floor, she obviously wanted out of my arms so she could check out the items on the floor. Bella walked, ran and toppled through a number of Christmas decorations waiting to be boxed. Daughter one left the Bella Bag, which was very large on a chair and assured me that everything baby Bella would need was in the bag. It was obvious that I would have to watch our little one with careful attention. "What if she puts the Christmas ornaments in her mouth and chews them? What if she pokes her eyes with the ornament hang- ers?" Myriads of what-ifs entered my mind. I real- ized that Bella was about to check out every room in the house. As I noted her curiosity I realized that each bedroom door would have to be closed as I could not see what the little one was doing while I was in the living room. As I gathered the Christmas décor I kept an eye on Bella, Bella looking excitedly out the window, Bella chewing an unidenti- fied item in her mouth, Bella whin- ing and tilting her head at me with sorrowful eyes. I began to talk to her, "Baby Bella, come to Grand- ma." Baby Bella scurried away from Grandma instead, entered the kitchen and began to look for morsels of food perhaps dropped on the floor. Needless to say I was pretty busy watching the antics of Bella. It was then that it became apparent that I go into the bath- room. What would I do with Bella? Bella answered that question by forcing her way into the bathroom with me. As we exited the bathroom I realized that Bella wanted to go outside. I grabbed the "Bella bag," to search for a lease for the baby. Wow, the bag was filled with many items; a hair brush, white cotton fresh scents, freshening Spray, dia- per pads, large?, dog food pellets, pink quilted coat, chew bones, breakfast bites (bacon & egg), 24 fluid ounce of stain and odor remover, two food bowls, doggy pebbles, "Puppy Care Guide" covering myriads of chapters on First Aide, Health Care, Training, Nutrition, Behavior Training, and more. I finally found the Carolyn Barber Bella’s pink lease as Granddad entered the door. I greeted him with the news that Bella need- ed to go out for a walk. Bella jumped and ran to him, tilted her head and looked longingly into his eyes. It took both of us to hold her still while the lease was locked into her collar. They headed for the door. Returning a few minutes later, Granddad said the walk was suc- cessful and Bella was ready to come back into the house. Grand- dad took a picture of Bella and Grandma. I had been observing that Mr. Minch always had a picture of his dog with his column. Now I could have a picture of this Yorkie-Peak at the beginning of my column. Oh Bella Mia.
