Beautiful Bella

This is Bella from Tilley's and my litter one year ago. Her birthday was November 18th. Isn't she a doll? I'm also including a letter the Masters received from her new forever family. Thanks to Jason and Tina for the picture update, and the wonderful note.

Just want to pass along some news about Bella. Her 1st birthday was this week and Tina and I have loved spending this time with her. She has learned all sorts of tricks and I have taken her bird hunting where she responds to hand commands. My family all have springers and of them all, Bella is the best temperament and in the best physical shape. In fact, my mother loves to steel her because Bella is so loving. I could not have asked for a better dog. She does get into things when my wife and I are gone. I find the front door mat at the back door and the back door mat in the bathroom. She removes the door stops from the doors and places one of my wife's slippers on the bed and the other on the front stair. She is rotten I don't know if you remember but we also have a labadoddle. She is a very laid-back, slow moving, easy-going dog. Since bringing Bella home and even more so since Bella has gotten older, Maddie and bella wrestle all over the house. I just wanted to say thankyou again

Upcoming Holidays

Well, the Holidays are right around the corner. Master Mom and Master Dad have been busy getting things in order for Company to arrive next week for Thanksgiving. Sounds like we are all going to have a rip-roaring good time around the old homestead. Lots of family, friends, and of course turkey with all the fixins. We four Springers just love to have a house full. That means lots of attention for each and everyone of us.

Little Samie is growing like a weed, and loves to speak her mind. She gives the masters quite a bit of sass back. She just loves to growl and act real tough. This morning when Mama took us out for our little morning run, there was about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Of course, me, Tilley, and Nittany have already had the pleasure of romping in the snow. You should have seen the little one. She ran around like a nut case. The rest of us had a hard time doing our morning business because just as soon as we found the perfect spot, out of nowhere, Sami would pounce. That would mean we would have to start the hunt all over again. It was crazy.

It seems all four of our babies have found new homes. Won't the new families be having an awesome Christmas this year with a new puppy in the house. I'll have Mom try posting a couple of videos of them before they all leave us. It's always a little tearful as each one goes to live with their new forever families.

Talk to you all later........The General a/k/a Boiler
