Bella and Dad, she's now 8 months old and thriving thanks to lots of love from Vet's Choice dog food, Dr. Jack, her gal pal Meeka the pit bull and of course Daddy and Buddy

Bait puppy no longer, Bella, now 8 months old got help from so many people including many on Facebook who helped us get through a rough time. Bella needed so much care and we had no intention of adopting a dog (or 2!) - it seems to be some higher message about healing, helping animals present. We all love them so. We struggled with bills initially as Bella had a fractured skull, hurricane Sandy was upon us but sure enough help just flowed. We're so grateful to so many. Please pray for this family as prayer really made a difference in Bella's recovery as did music, nutrition, excelled vet care, strangers. Pictures of Bella, Buddy and Meeka on the way ASAP. Meeka lives in Nassau county and Bella and she love each other as they run laps around a one acre yard. Bella sleeps very soundly after a visit with Meeka. Buddy on the other hand, since he knows no one but daddy who nursed his from 2 lbs to 37 pounds, sticks close by.

GOOD NEWS....home was perserved for Ed, Bella and Buddy....it's Bella...she's just magical!

When Bella was very ill and we didn't know whether she would live, I came across someone by accident. This woman proclaimed that she was a working psychic. I asked her, "Will Bella live?" She said, "that's not a dog you have, she's an angel with fur! There's only one thing that can save her: LOVE!" She also said Bella loves music. We were caring for her in her dazed state due to the skull fracture and she rarely interacted but slept all the time. Then one morning, I sang a song I made up for her with her name in it. For the first time, she stood up and wagged her tail. She still reacts to that song...it makes her so happy. And, she absolutely is an angel with fur! Wow, Hurricane Sandy really kicked the North Shore's butt...we hope all of you are okay!
