Bella - White- American Pit Bull Terrier
Lily- Tan- American Pit Bull Terrier / Labrador Retriever Mix
Both Bella and Lily are rescue dogs. Lily was adopted from the Defender's of Animal Rights Shelter. We rescued her in 2007 at the age of one. She was such a sweet thing and fit in great with our other rescue dog Roxanne ( she has since passed- will do a separate blog just for her soon.) Lily quickly stole our hearts. Lily was living with a family who could not care for her. They had two other big dogs who were beating Lily up. She was very thin when we brought her home and also apprehensive of other people. She is truly a lovely dog. She gets a long with other dogs and loves people. She is very laid back but LOVES to play. Playing fetch is her simple joy in life. She also loves a cool dip in the pool in the summer months. She likes to swim when her family and best friend Bella are in the pool. During summer months you will often find Lily sitting in the love seat of our swimming pool. Her Lab really shows when it comes to food. We are always making fun of her for being such a "piggy."
Bella was rescued from a home where she was not taken care of. A good friend of mine told me her story and I went to see her thinking even if I couldn't adopt her that I would find someone who would. My boyfriend Dave and I went to meet her, we fell for her within 10 seconds. Despite her situation she was such a happy girl. We took Bella home with us that night. Her tail bent in 3 spots, fleas, no shots.... by the next day she looked like a new pup! She was only 5 months old so still needed to adjust to basic training. When Bella first came to us she didn't even know how to sit. Bella was living with a younger man who worked long hours and left her tied to the door knob of his bed room. Bella suffered from separation anxiety. Bella fit right in with Lily and Roxanne. Bella is a pretty silly dog. She loves attention and loves everything about the idea of the word play. She was adopted into our family in 2008. She is now 3 years old. Bella is very intense when it comes to swimming. She dives under water and will swim for hours. During summer months you will find Bella Boo in the pool with Lily. Often times you will look outside and they will each be in the love seat together. Tennis ball and Rope toy are two of her favorite games to play. Goofy Bella loves to snuggle.
Aw I loved reading this I never knew their stories. Great first blog love <3
ReplyDeleteCuties!! Thanks for sharing their stories.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how athletic pit bulls are. I tried to convince Rob that we need to build Astrid an agility course so she can channel her strength and energy and he said no haha.
