Bella is similar vest on service dog with serious focus except when I give her permission to greet someone while we are at the mall. Other times she is allowed to greet people is at the vets, when they are in service such as medical, fire, rescue, police, or similar. She has a strong prey mode which usually is more of wanting to run, chase, and play, however many people do not understand her actions and with her breed it is a challenge to get people to trealize that all APBTs aren't the same. Even the fighting or bate dogs who survive have been successfully placed in homes with young children and have had wonderful lives with the families. Bella has two jobs actually, one is to help me and the other is an an ambassador for the breed. Many people do not know that this breed was once called the nanny dog because it was used to watch over small children. When given a chance they are very people oriented and friendly. With proper rules and training they can be taught to control their hunting drives and learn to leave other animals alone. Ripley, my hybred cat and Bella often play together. It's funny to watch Ribley chase Bella around and bat at her and then she will chase Ripley and they it changes again. Ripley is chasing Bella aGAIN. And sometimes Orchid tried to get in on the action, but she perfers to watch and enjoy the show.
Holly my CAG had decided recently to fly into my plants so I'll have to make some changes. I know she enjoys them however using them as a purch is a bit much especially when she is in the cactus and succulents. As long as she doesn't grow roots, it's not that bad. Lst night Bella didn't try to chase Holly. This is a first triumph! I've been working with her not to chase the birds.
A while Bella found a squeaky toy which was a surprise because as far as I knew she couldn't get to any of them. The short version of this is she went past me and started to turn around. I approached asking her whhere did you find a squeaky toy at which point she dropped it in front of me and it started moving towards me. The squeek I heard was Bonnie. Apparently Bella was bringing Bonnie to me because Bella knew Bonnie had flown off her cage and was looking for me. Since this event I've been extra careful to make certain the cage doors are securely latched so there is no accidents.
I'll have to upload pics of my animal and plant family soon. Hopefully I'll be able to do this sometime during the week.
I wish everyone a marvelous day with safe travels and many blessings.
