Tuesdays With Tag - Bella's Doin' Great...

Brynwood Needleworks - Tag at Sommers'

Hi, Everybody!

Guess who I saw last week? We went to Uncle Mike's and saw BELLA!

Brynwood Needleworks - Liljegren's Suncoast Bella

We got out of Dad's truck and there she was! Just sittin' waitin' for us to say "hey"! I couldn't believe how big her butt is now! 

She's seven months old, and Uncle Mike told us that she's on somethin' called "self-feed". Mom said it means that they put her dish down and it's always full of food. WHOA! Where can I sign up for that program? You can tell that Bella hasn't been pushin' back from the table. She's really bulked up in the three weeks she's been at school! (She's not fat. She's just gettin' bigger.)

Brynwood Needleworks - Tag, Watching Training At Sommers'

Mom and Dad sat down in spectator chairs and I got a front row seat - on the chain gang! - to watch Uncle Mike put Bella Butt through her paces. She's been a great student since she got there. Maybe even as good a student as I was! (Maaaaybe)

Brynwood Needleworks - Bella's Workout At Sommers'

When new students go to Uncle Mike's school, they have to start doing the borin' stuff like heelin', comin' when we're called, lyin' down (which we all pretty much hate, but do anyway), and then we get to do fun fetchin' stuff, too.

Uncle Mike said Bella's a quick learner like her daddy, Goose. He was a five-time Master Hunter and Master National by the time he was fifteen months old. (I guess that's pretty good.) I looked at Dad a couple of times, and he was smilin' a lot!

Uncle Mike is real big on praise for a job well-done...

and Mom got proof that Dad actually does smooch on his dogs. If I could get him to take selfies with me, I could prove it, too, but this is good enough for now. 

Dad's gonna be travelin' back and forth a lot between now and when Bella comes back home. Mom and I might go sometimes, too, but it's not easy for me to just sit around when all this trainin' stuff is goin' on. I love Uncle Mike and I always wanna show him that I haven't forgot what he taught me. Mom and I might just hang out here at the swimmin' pool. I sure don't wanna distract Bella from her studies. (Like that's gonna happen! She's pretty focused on her work.) 

It was good seein' her, Uncle Mike and Aunt Joanne. It's always fun visitin' and hangin' out with them. I'll look forward to our next visit, but I'm happy lookin' at our pictures of Bella for now. Hey! Do I hear snacks bein' offered? Gotta run!

I'll see you again in seven! 'til then...
