MaltiPom - Bella

Bella the MaltiPom and her KiKi

Bella is a Pomeranian Maltese mix. She is the most intelligent and affectionate dog I have ever had and I have had dogs since I was 5. I am 47 now.

She loves to do everything with our family. She loves going "bye bye" in the car and rides behind my neck. We live on a lake and she even swims and boats! We have two other dogs, an 80 pound golden retriever (12 yrs old) and a Grek mutt (3 yr old) that Bella bosses round constantly. It is a hoot.

Bella sleeps in bed with my husband and I with her head on a pillow and under the covers. She has her own "kiki" (blankie) and loves chew toys. She has a stash of toys under a futon in our home office.

She is a character and I don't know what life would be like without her. My two daughters just walked in with her one day without notice. They knew we didn't want to add to our menagerie, but knowing Bella, we sure do love her!
