why can't Bella do this?

pet shop love

random: these are the kids pet frogs

and Bella looking totally bored with pet shop day

Beagles don't care about Mother's Day

Here's what went on the other day for about an hour straight...

I stood in the kitchen banging on my window repeatedly yelling "get down!"

with my serious mad face and voice...

as you can see it had absolutely NO effect.

Although she did decide it wasn't working to hide behind a plant and moved herself into plain view to commence the stare down.

This picture pretty much sums it all up:

ugh... pets! ingrates.

She's baaaack!

Last June Bella went to stay with my sister Amy for "a few weeks" while we went on vacation. Amy got so attached that she kept extending Bella's stay.

But now she's home and Mary Beth is soooo happy.
