Bella was already asleep when I snuggled down into the bed, and I bonked her, so she got up and lay down in the dog bed. LOL.

Woke up at 6:30 AM. Lily and Bella went nose to nose!

I’m thinking of spending the day in pajamas because I have nowhere to go today.

Lily really wanted my waffles. She cleaned up the crumbs after I was done.

I tried to get Bella to come upstairs, but she won't go past the first couple of stairs.

Bella seems to be settling down more when I'm working upstairs. She seems to understand that I'm not abandoning her, and she hasn't been chewing stuff. I spoke too soon. She's whining.

Bella's pretty smart. She understands "Do you want to go out?" and "Do you want to go back in?" She also understands that I need to put on my coat before taking her out.

Bella has found a large towel that is kind of her security blanket when I'm upstairs. She hasn't been shredding stuff. I spoke too soon. She got into a bag of gravel that was previously in the aquarium, and spread it all over the floor. Sigh.

Tomorrow is supposed to be cold, but then it'll warm up.

Took a nap after work and overslept my alarm. I work up a little before 10 to Bella nudging me with her nose. She needed to pee. Good girl!

Fed the cats. Bella ate Zara’s food. I fed her more food, and then Oliver wanted her food. Bella barked for some reason. I closed the door so that Zara could eat in peace.

I think that Bella needs a dog companion to play with. She’s trying to play with the cats (and me—she wants me to chase her). I haven’t found the right dog though.

Got the dog coat, but it isn’t very thick, and there’s nothing to attach a leash to. Oh, the leash runs under the coat.

Bella seems wide-awake, but she had been napping with me.
