- Maggie (My Angel Baby 5/31/2012). Daddy (2 years). Linus (1year). Bella (4 years)
As most of you know Bella Bear was our foster bully, and our first foster failure!!!
I believe she fills some of the hole that Maggie left behind in our hearts!!!
But, she's always been a feisty little madam. Very food aggressive and food orientated, and could be toy aggressive too. There were some times when we knew we could never adopt her because Bella, Daddy and Linus .. in any combination .. would just break out into fights. But it got a little better and we learnt to know the signs and when to distract and so we decided to adopt her. Her papers and adoption fee went in January 2013.
Since then she's been the perfect bully. NOW I will say that she still gets fed separately because I think she would steal the other dogs food not necessarily fight which is what she would have done in the past!!! But in places and situations when a squabble between her and the two bully boys would have been a sure thing .. there is nothing.
So my question is .... do rescues know when they are finally home to stay. Is that why Bella Bear has suddenly become more relaxed and content??? :D
