Her Name is Bella...

Long time without blogging, it seems! Mostly because I went to Rio by the end of the year and, when I arrived back, was feeling a bit depressed and down. The usual! I will try and re-start writing (once again!).

But the big news is... We finally have a dog now! I was resisting a lot to that idea, since I tend to get way too attached to them and, when it's time to say goodbye, I really get way too sad. But thanks to Mark's insistence, I gave it in. And it was the best thing that could have happened to me.


We adopted her from Dogs Trust. Bella is her name. A border collie cross, although some people say she is a "Wicklow Collie", whatever a Wicklow Collie means (apart from coming from Wicklow, of course). Black and white little bundle of joy, more or less 2 years old. She was very skinny when she came to us, but gained almost 4 kgs already. She is lovely and house-trained, and also very sociable and a quick-learner. We love her to bits!

Some more pictures of our 4-legged furry Baby... And more will follow, of course! :)

  4. Hi Aputsiaq! I missed my time on the blogs a lot, but sometimes I just don't feel like writing or doing much, so, I just stay quiet and suddenly I come back! Mostly tired, but now with Bella I am starting to enjoy things a bit better! Bella was the best thing that happened to me this year so far. She is a cutie and very clever. Mostly very obedient as well, although sometimes she can be a handfull! Behaves like a little puppy though! Missing you and now I will try and come back "to normal"! XOXO,

  6. Hi Aputsiaq: they are great company, and always do silly things that make you laugh! Snyway, I haven't been feeling too good since yesterday. Mark has to run a mini-marathon in Ballina tomorrow and brought Bella with him. I will be staying here to see if I recover. But she would be bored if she was to stay with me! :D
