Bella's Kittens Need Homes

That title sounds odd, doesn't it, considering Bella is a Shih-Tzu. But if you saw the posting (with video) below you know that Bella has "adopted" these two kittens. She guards over them and protects them from any perceived danger....real or imagined. She's a riot. So what better place to put these two babies than on Bella's blog!

Meet Lucy & Ami. Believe it or not, they're sisters!
Lucy is a lynx point Siamese mix. Ami is a black& gray tabby.
They were just dropping off to sleep when I shot this.

They were born May 22nd and lost their mother after only five days. They've been in foster care ever since and are bottle fed. Being just 4 weeks old they're still not interested in eating on their own. They're growing & coming along beautifully and now use the litter box.

If you're looking for stripes, Ami is the one. She's slightly smaller than her sister.




Lucy's coloring is interesting; gray underneath and on her legs, tail and ears.

Bella and the Kittens

I took in two orphaned kittens when they were just six days old. They're now 4 weeks old. I bottle feed them and am hoping that soon they'll start eating. Guess who loves them? Bella! She "guards" them, won't let any other pet near them, gives them baths and lets them do anything they want.

Bella: No Longer Up for Adoption

Update: she's no longer looking for a home. She's staying with me. I just couldn't uproot her and put her through a major, total change.

A great home came along a few weeks ago. My concern was what would it do to Bella making the change. She'd adjust but I was afraid some of her spark would go out. After living her whole life in an above-ground wire cage she was finally experiencing a real life; a dog's life.

She's happy, playful, healthy (amazing what good food will do) and is very easy to live with. She's not a big barker either. How nice is that! When she "smiles" you can see her gums where her teeth either fell out or were pulled during her dental but that doesn't bother her a bit. She still chews on bones & toys and eats with no trouble at all.

Please, when you or anyone you know is considering adding a dog to your home, stay away from "puppy stores". Most get their stock from puppy mills, just like where Bella was rescued from. They're purely money making operations without a care in the world for the well-being of the dogs. Bella is one of the lucky few. If it hadn't been for caring neighbors phoning in to animal control about the abuse she and the others would still be there.

Check your local shelters. You'd be amazed how many purebred dogs end up in shelters waiting for someone to take them home.
