Bella Has Her Cast Off !
On Thursday, September 4th, Bella and I went to Wake Forest Animal Hospital. Dr. Manning came in and Bella was her usual charming self. Her cast was removed and her skin and fur looked great. There were no rubbed or raw places. I was tickled to see that by having the recommended routine cast changes, Bella's skin had remained in great condition while it was in the cast. Her little leg isn't as strong as her other legs but time and ...
Bella’s New Veterinarian Service
Sometimes we have to consider when to make a change in pet healthcare providers. In the area in which we live, we are fortunate to have many quality pet care providers.

We thought we knew about raising puppies but Bella has taken us on quite the learning curve. We arrived at 3:10 pm and were checked in. Within a few minutes we went into the exam ...
Bella’s First Vet Visit for a Broken Leg
Yes, it is true. Bella's first week here at home was fun. She fit right into the family. Luke and Rusty were a bit overwhelmed by how "Miss No-Fear Bella" quickly made herself comfortable. Rusty, true to his nature, opened his heart and by the second day, it was common to see the two of them sleeping together. Luke was, for want of a better word, flabbergasted. Bella moves like greased lightning and with her cute little "rufff", one ...
