Chris also recently got a new puppy, and wanted us to bring a dog over to play with her and help socialize her. For this, there is no better dog than Bello.
Bello is Monica's seven year old Blue Heeler cross. They met when he was tiny, and she found him wandering her neighborhood. Monica and Bello are joined at the soul and share the same loving nature and gentleness. Bello is well trained, has traveled to Italy and makes friends everywhere he goes. He does not like human men and he has a girlfriend, Lily, our friend Lynelle's Blue-Nosed Pitbull. He likes digging for mice and loves water. He is also fantastic with puppies.
The puppy, Keesha, is a Malamute cross and the sweetest, fuzziest thing I have ever seen. She has a lovely personality and a soft, wooly-lamb coat. She adored Bello and spent hours following him around.
We spent the first part of the visit exploring their huge yard and having a strawberry snack in the garden....
Chris built a dog-crow, because so many local farm dogs go for forays in the area and would wander into the yard. It was a genius idea, because as soon as Bello saw it he started barking and Monica had to "introduce" him to it and convince him it wasn't real!
We ate dinner outside by a big bonfire, and chatted til the bugs came out. It was a fun, relaxing evening and an awesome chance for a doggy play-date.
Gin Wigmore is the coolest thing that has happened to me this summer so far....
