 I haven't posted on this blog since February of last year.  Such a long time while life still went on behind the scenes.  I lost my beloved Tinker in December and told myself that I would never get another dog.  The loss was too painful and the crying never seemed to stop.

My grandson and his fiancee live in Corpus Christi and they were working in their yard when a dog came up and started to play with their dog Charlie.  She had no inclination to leave and so stayed the night.  In the meantime a very persuasive Zach was on the phone to me telling me that a stray dog had come into their home and they would love for me to have her.  I knew I didn't want to take on another animal at that time so I said no way can I take her.

As things turned out, I now have another pet in my house by the name of Isabelle.  She's a lab or lab mix, is about 2-1/2 years old, has had at least one litter of puppies and is very, very affectionate.  She has become my dog in a very short time and follows me everywhere.
She answers to Isabelle, Isabella, Izzy, Bella and as Jill Symons had coined her name, "Isabella Mozzarella". 

Meet Isabelle......
