Small Dog Big Heart

One of Belle’s new favorite things to do is to go to my parent’s house and hang out with Batman and Smokey, my parent’s border collies. Their backyard is huge and Belle just runs around for hours. Whether it’s running along the fence with the neighbor dogs, chasing the birds, or playing fetch with Batman, Belle seems to be in 7th heaven there. Batman and Belle are pretty much best friends. Batman is a very mellow dog and doesn’t seem to mind that Belle is super hyperactive. When he is lying down, she likes to come up and try to jump on his head, keep in mind that Batman’s head is nearly as big as Belle’s whole body. After a while of jumping on him, she’ll usually just cuddle up next to him and they will hang out there until someone makes a sudden move….then she’s on the move again! Smokey, on the other hand, is not so mellow. He isn’t the biggest fan of Belle. He knows that it’s “his” house and he’s not going to let Belle just come over and take over. One of the best parts of our family trips to my parent’s house is that when we get home, Belle is all worn out and she is ready for a good nights sleep.
