Well I am new to the site as well. Still trying to figure out things but did want to respond to this subject...
I am a widow having lost my husband 5 years ago. Nov is especially a bad month for me so I just decided to buy a small dog to keep me company. Her name is "Bella" and she is 7 months old and just adorable. She has been so much company and helps to cheer me up. In fact I love having her so much that I have my eyes on buying another one from East Texas Yorkies. Can't wait to have 2 of them.
I named her Bella because it seemed to suit her... PS - Love this forum!!
Linda
