Sorry for some pictures. Some are taken on the digi cam and some on the phone!
The morning after we brought her home! Bella is 10 weeks old here. She was born 2/17/2011


Taken a few days after she's been home


Same day being a terror


Somewhere close to twelve weeks. This was her "puppy" she loved her puppy. It was her first toy. She'd carry it around with her -everywhere. Puppy had to go away when she turned six months because all of the stuffing was no longer inside, but strewn across my living room.


Somewhere between three and four months


Four months or so (maybe four and a half?)


This is my Siberian "Grazing" Husky. five and a half months


Six and a half months. She was rather unhappy with me, I guess. She was howling!


This is her "neener!" face.


Bella has SAS (Subaortic stenosis) very, very mild. Cardiologist isn't concerned that it is something very serious and she is on beta-blockers. We got her for free as the people who had her were going to have her put to sleep because of her at the time diagnosed heart murmur. She is the love of my life!

And this...is my previous girl, Daytona (not a husky, I know!). She's a Great Pyrenees. 2/25/1999 - 7/21/2010

oh i love the from puppy to now pictures and so sorry about the loss of your girl Daytona. wow good job on saving her life! did you know the breeders or was it a word of mouth thing?

Thank you it was a hard loss for me as Daytona was my first dog. Took awhile before I ever thought I could get another dog (eight month struggle with depression) - and then I found Bella! And I had that feeling of "That is the perfect dog for me!" butterflies and happiness everywhere feeling!

We didn't know them (the breeder). I found her online and luckily got to her in time. It was a BYB, unfortunately. Which is why she was going to be put to sleep. He wasn't able to sell an unhealthy puppy. But she's safe and happy now and that's all that matters

she's too cute! can't believe they would put her down she looks so happy with you! great job saving her!

sorry about Daytona, she was gorgeous, RIP baby

Thank you very much for the kind words

She is very happy. Happy enough to destroy my house on a daily basis and be super proud of it! It's like she knows she did something wrong but she just wants to show me!

The one day last week. After we had gone out in the morning. She got into a bunch of used toilet paper (like blown nose used) and decided that she was -so- proud to come get me and show me. Jumping around and barking and running around me in circles as I walked into the living room she laid down on the couch and wagged her tail as I looked on in horror.

sounds like you need a trash can with a lid or closed doors!
just be careful with what she gets into we have had way to many stories here of emergency visits with huskies eating things.

and yes they love to "show off" there destruction!

Yep! Every door is closed or gated off now with the exception of my room. But occasionally someone forgets and she jumps at the opportunity!

The only garbage she's gotten into has been the main floor little half bathroom that only ever has toilet paper in it. She never bothers with the kitchen garbage (has a lid). I think that's because once when she was younger she overturned the kitchen one on herself because she stood up on it and knocked it over.

What a pretty girl you have there!

Thank you! and the same for your two!! :o
all white!

Awwww... I love her snuggling with her puppy! That puppy would have been "dead" sooner than 6 months at my house. Maybe all boys, both human and canine, have less of a nurturing instinct...

She's a cutie!

She's a -huge- talker. I'll have to get a video up of her

And thank you for the compliments

I love the howl pic!

She's quite the talker so the opportunities are endless....

It just depends on if I'm smart enough to grab my camera!

So. As it is really hot/humid outside today. I'm waiting until the evening to take Bella out for her walk. SO! We took some pictures.

She dropped her rope bringing it to me because she wanted to play. I took the picture as she was putting the brakes on to pick it up again.


My mother's Maltese's suddenly started barking at her. She wasn't too sure why. So she stopped with the rope and looked at them. (The red stuff on the flood was from a snake we bought at petco that had 6 squeakers in it and a rattle on its tail. It's now missing it's head and 3 squeakers)


Her bringing back the rope! (Apparently my redeye reduction on the camera didn't want to work for this picture. Sorry for the satan dog )

Bella decided today would be her day to be constipated. With Tropical Storm Lee deciding to downpour like five inches of rain onto us and making my backyard a flood plain...She decided she was far too good to go poop in the rain. After 20 minutes and becoming entirely soaked with her outside I tied her out thinking MAYBE she'd like to go on her own.

Five minutes later...she decided that today was a good day to lounge on the furniture...


She looks so happy

HAHAHAHA Oh can I relate to this scenario! Did she end up going poo? lol

No, no she didn't.

It took my dad standing out there a couple hours later for 10 minutes and then me standing out there for another 5 for her to finally poop X_X.

It was such a miserable day out too from that stupid storm. Rainy and Cold. She pranced around in my backyard in an inch of water like it was play time. While I stood there - my socks soaking wet because the water came into my shoes (that do not have a hole)

While I thought she was asleep downstairs...she was apparently doing something she shouldn't have.

As she ran to the top of the stairs with something dangling out of her mouth I called her to me...

I don't even know -where- she got this from..but it used to be a dog.


This used to be the dogs face...


and this is what was left of it in my living room

STUFFING!! lol she went to town on that stuffed dog! Interesting how they always seem to go for the face first. Kale always chew the face off his plush toys lol
