Cute Bella. That's going to be one hell of a job for her to pet all the people who are currently sad in this country.

If we put Bella together with my Irish setter who drinks, holds water in her mouth, and then walks around the kitchen spritzing it all over the floor, we can serve multiple dogs multiple meals at one time. (No, I have never found a solution.)

Bella and my setter are def in the club called "I Know How You Feel," though! And they're determined to do something positive about it :)

Bella is too busy with doggie things to worry about crumbs. She has " joie de vi·vre" and knows her Dog mom will take care of the rest.

Forget the crumbs.

Bella is clearly tuned in to current events and KNOWS that people’s well being and happiness rest on her adorable head, back and tail - and all the rest of her. Would kiss her AAAAALLLLLL over

Bella, you are darling, smart and reportedly very empathetic. Those qualities, esp. the latter, put you above lots of humans. And, humans also drop their crumbs while cooking and eating. I feel it is one of my tasks to help my humans clean up all those droppings! Keep smiling, Bella, 'cause when you smile it makes the humans smile...and they sure need lots of "lightness" breaks right now! Good to meet you Bella, Finnegan Dog in California

Love this column. Lord knows we need some joy and fun to leaven all the horrible news. My fuzzy friend is also named Bella and I would like to submit her for inclusion in the coming weeks. How do I do that?
