Q: Tell us Bella’s story! Where was she born and what made you fall in love with her?
A: Bella was born in the Palm Coast. She had a couple siblings and lived with one other dog breed (Australian Shepherds). We were always cat people, but one day as we were walking in the park we spotted a tiny puppy and instantly fell in love. We asked what breed she was and instantly began searching. We soon found Bella and I knew she was the one! She was cuddly, sweet, and perfect all around.
Q: What breed is Bella? What is your favorite thing about the breed?
A: Bella is a Malshi, a Maltese/Shih-Tzu mix. When researching the breed I found out they were playful, stubborn, and love company. My favorite thing about the breed is how playful they are and how Bella always has energy to run.
Q: How did you come up with her name?
A: Bella’s original name was Jellybean! Although it was cute, we wanted to change it. For the longest time we debated between “Piper” and “Bella”. We soon decided on “Bella”. Even though it’s a common name, we love it!
Q: What is Bella’s favorite thing to do?
A: Bella’s favorite things to do is go on walks! As soon as we want to take her, we say “Do you wanna go for a walk?”. She goes absolutely bonkers and gets really excited!
Q: Is there a silly or funny story about Bella that you would like to share?
A: When we started training Bella we started with “sit”, and soon went on to “lay”, “paw”, “high ten”, and “roll”. She can do all of these very well! But, if you pull out a treat, she will try to do all these tricks at once! Roll, Sit, Paw, Lay, she will try her hardest to get the treat!
