Bella

Bella is a Beagle cross King Charles Cavalier. She has a penchant for jumping and licking.

 

What I find really interesting is the toys she chooses to chase. She has a couple of toys that make noise: a sheep, a sting ray and a duck. Without exception, she pounces on the duck any time it moves. She'll jump up and try to rip it out of your hand and follow it intently with her eyes. Try to do the same with the other two toys and she'll ignore you. She also keeps a slipper that is shaped like a duck near her bed, proudly showing it to visitors like me.

 

Despite being so many generations removed from hunting dogs, she still seems to retain some sense of it.
