Sharing the same birthday as myself (although not even close to the same year) is our dog.
Introducing Bella.
Born and bred on Straddie, as in Minjerribah aka North Stradbroke Island, she is indeed a real mongrel as are we. So she fits in perfectly.
She’s now nine and has the most beautiful soul and is very much a welcome and loved member of our family.
She may be number six in order of arriving into our family but if we go by the amount of how much she is loved, her rating would vastly improve.
Pudding our cat didn’t have a say but the four humans in our family all had a name for Bella. All names were put into a hat. Dilan wanted ‘Pingu’, can’t remember Kodi’s choice, I wanted ‘Dust’ and my first wife’s choice was drawn to take the naming prize. I believe ‘Bella’ is one of, if not the most common dog names in the world.
