I love this little girl to pieces but let me tell you, she can't be left unattended. Bella is into everything and anything. You can't leave her alone and running loose because she is always looking for something to play with or eat
.
In the yard she will eat bugs, dirt, plants, bark etc. I have seen her poop look almost like granular dirt because she has ingested so much of the yard.

In the house she looks for labels, napkins, trashbags, tv guides, magazines. If she knows you are watching she pretty much bypasses them but if you leave her alone and free you will come back to a shredding!

We have one of those little bags that holds plastic grocery bags inside. You load the old bags in the top and later pull one from the bottom. Well Bella races by and grabs the tip of the bag hanging out and races through the house with it. She does this over and over and thinks she is the parade master with the bag billowing behind her. We finally moved that to another location and she still TRIES to reach it.

My husband has an little pillow that he keeps in his chair and Bella will knock that to the floor and then nip the loose threads on it until the pillow is almost bare.

She can climb onto one piece of furniture to reach something higher. Last week she climped on the coffee table and was able to reach the top of the TV table where she found a CD(MOVIE) and she played with that for a while. Fortunately it wasn't destroyed.

She will also jump off furniture that is at least waist high and lands like a feather. She jumps onto something and before I can reach her to get her off she jumps! Scares me to death.

The other day my daughter was over visiting and when she went to leave we couldn't find her keys. When we tracked them down they were in Bella's bed where we also found a set of fingernail clippers and a rock!
Lord this girl is a handfull and we love her dearly.

I just keep asking the lord for patience and the knowledge to know where put things out of Bella's reach

Top that off with the cats and you have a good picture of her. She LOVES the cats and wants to play. When she spots one of the cats she runs straight to them and start an obsessive face licking. The cats tolerate it for a long time then finally have to pop her to get her to back off, but that doesn't slow her down. She just goes to the next available cat!
