Bella

Meet Bella.

Sweet, smelly Bella joined our bustling household in November on the heels of my 40th birthday. Lord only knows why I just "had" to have a third dog to love but after much prodding the prince agreed. But only to a Basset Hound.

After searching the local basset rescues I came upon Bell. She'd been up for adoption for more than a year. My homely little girl. It was love at first sight.


Bell is a full bred Basset Hound. Maybe even an inbred one. Her eye lids are too droopy, she hobbles as she walks since her right front paw doesn't work properly. She's lost a toe. But her ears curl up on the end as if she is bearing a darling doo.

Most of all~ she's everyone's best friend.




Even when she eats your homework.

And boots you out of bed.

Awww Bella is lovely and will bring you a lot of love and happiness because Bassets are THE BEST DOGS IN THE WORLD. She certainly looks very settled with you all.

My family have had Bassets all of our lives, usually three at a time of different ages as we have rehomed a lot. We now have two gorgeous puppy sisters and everyome loves them.

Have a happy life in your new home Bella! xxx
