First Things

December 3, 2016 This is our first live glimpse of Belle

I'll forego the first person/dog narrative here because I really don't know what she was thinking.
She and a lot of other adopted dogs had spent the last 24 hours riding a bus from Alabama to Vermont.
We met her there and spent some time walking around before bundling her into the car for yet another trip, albeit a shorter one, to New Hampshire.
First she met Baldr. Then we had a long walk in the woods. She found a dead mouse in the leaves and rolled on it. She had a bath and didn't much like it.
She didn't know how to climb stairs. I'm not certain that she'd ever even been inside a real house before.
All this newness must have been bewildering to her but she was home and soon realized it for herself.
And despite the ordeal she still loves to go for a ride!

She looks a little apprehensive but up for an adventure. So great you gave her a wonderful home.

NH is SO much different than Alabama! Never knew the back story of Belle but it's so great you & Belle are now together.

Nice to see Belle at the very start of her new adventure. She does look a bit apprehensive.
