Kidding, Bello's not glaring. He's chewing on a corn cob that was thrown out for the squirrels/birds. But he thinks they are personally all for him. Ya know, last week he was chewing on an almost gone cow hoof. Hopefully next week we can keep him from chewing and taking pictures.
This is my best attempt at a snow picture, and even though there is still snow on the ground, I give up. My fingers get to cold (can't wear gloves and focus well) to fast and Bello is not the best model. Wish he didn't have to have a leash, but I think after last weeks "adventure" you all realize it is vital.
So here is my formal introduction for 52 Weeks of Dogs (since I skipped it last week in order to keep it short after talking about Bello):
My name is Erica, and I'm 16. Animals are my passion, but my own animals come before any others.
And that fellow is Bello. Which means Beautiful/Handsome in Italian. No, I did not want to name him Bella. Though he constantly gets called Bella cause he is rather feminine looking and sounding. ;D I adopted him from a shelter going on 5 months ago (on the 23rd it will have been). He's a trouble maker, but fits perfectly into our life (if you just remember to keep a leash on him). And we are pretty sure he is a husky/schnauzer/poodle mix. Though I don't know how much I like telling people that, because it terrifies me that people might want to try and "replicate" him. The whole blue eye and pure white gene is dangerous. And we are lucky that he doesn't haven't hearing problems (unless you count selective hearing) or any blindness.
One day I spent some exciting time watching and photoraphing some dogs playing with a ball in an off leash park. From good natured fun, the play changed as other dogs joined the play, and the fun gave way to something more serious.

Decided to wash their beds today, so they decided to lay on a postage stamp size back door mat!
As usual Ruby is Phoebe's comfort blanket!
Poor old Ruby!
This is a Geo Metro that my hubby is stripping some parts off of. There was something in the engine compartment, likely a mouse….and the dogs were all over it. I happened to have the camera and am so surprised the pictures turned out because I was laughing so hard. I promise these are not posed! 3 in the series
Found this dog on the road in the village two days ago. I opened the door of my car and the dog jumped in. Rudi and Bach found him interesting. I thought, I've seen him before and drove to the street at which I thought he lives. He didn't want to go out. So I thought: "okay, maybe he doesn't live here." I went home and gave him some food. My cats didn't like him much. But one can't expect too much at the first encounter. But I knew I had to tell the mayor about it. We went to the mayor. And he said: "it's the dog of the taxi driver." That explained why he liked driving while sitting on my lap so much. I went back to the street where I thought I've seen him. The taxi driver was already outside. I had to pull the dog out of the car. He wanted to stay. The taxi driver took the dog on his arms and said he'd yell at the dog now. That was this. I hate to bring dogs back home who don't want to go back home. Took the photograph in the car before I pulled him out. He's looking sad. :(
My roommate's friends brought over their gentle dogs on their way to travel to fun places this weekend.
While my other dogs play frisbee as if it were their purpose in life, Sita likes to sit back and watch while nibbling on the competition disc my mother in law gave her for Christmas. It was an extra small disc for an extra small dog. Oh well, at least it is obvious that Sita enjoyed it. The majority of damage was done by our foster Bandit, but Sita couldn't help herself and had to add to the destruction once she got her teeth upon the orange disc.

Every other day I am still going out to care for the temple dogs.
Some days it rains an some days it really rains, making for a difficult an dangerous commute .
The bingo room acts as an oasis giving much needed shelter from the storms.
