Bella is such a pleasure to have around every day. The dorm residents adore her and she gets on with her fellow greyhounds and the labs at the prison. She's extremely affectionate and definitely a kisser,so be careful, because she'll lick your face off if you let her! Bella overcame slippery floors when she first arrived. Last week the floors were waxed and for a while she was "Bambi" all over again, but has again gotten used to it. Her training continues great and she is at the point where she performs without treats and is rewarded after every 3 or 4 commands. Her 20 foot down/ stay is slow-going but improving daily. Her trainer says she could not have asked for a better dog to work with. Bella really makes every day worth waking up for.
