I Made The Top 8!!!

How's everybody doing? Time sure slipped away from me out on the campaign trail. We have been going non-stop gathering donations and trying to get me re-elected the Pet Mayor of Montclair. A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED. I made the top 8 and now it's a race to the finals so we're not out of the woods just yet.

Boy this last week was crazy and the last two days were over the top. Yesterday we spent 4 hours out in the sun up in Montclair campaigning. It sure paid off though. We met a lot of cool people and gathered a lot of votes (you don't even want to know how many tricks I did or how many high-fives I gave...and I loved every minute of it). Towards the end all I wanted to do was lay down in the shade but this little girl wouldn't stop playing with me. What could I do? I mean I am a puppy and I do love to play. We had fun but I was extra tired when I got home and needed a nap BAD.

So while I'm napping Mommy and Daddy leave but only Daddy comes home. What's with that? Turns out Mommy left for Las Vegas for a couple of days. I TOTALLY miss her! I can't wait for her to come home. Don't get me wrong me and Daddy are having a great time but the three of us...we're kinda like the three amigos.

Alright, my little puppy pads are killing me. Talk to you soon...Bella

What A Weekend!!!

Wow that was a crazy one! I am one tired puppy. Mommy and Daddy had me all over the place this weekend. Drive, walk, shop. Drive, walk, shop. Drive, walk, shop. I tell ya I thought it would never end. If that wasn't enough, the parents decided to clean up the backyard and of course I had to stand guard the whole time. By the time we got inside I couldn't even keep my eyes open. Hold on a minute...don't get too comfortable. "What's this? We're going to the grocery store? Does it ever end? You guys are cleaning the house now? Do you even realize what time it is?" I finally went to bed.

Sunday rolls around and Mommy and Daddy are up early and before I know it we're off and running up to Montclair to campaign (remember I'm running for Mayor again this year. Don't for get to vote - link is at the top of the page!!!). We were having Nonni and Nonno over to celebrate Mother's Day and Nonno's birthday which was on Friday so time was limited but we got out there and gathered some votes. When we got home we BBQ'd and had a blast! I even got my own piece of chicken! I Wish Uncle Ronnie, Auntie Amo and Joshua could have been there though.

I gotta tell you the competition for Mayor is TOUGH. I need to get everyone involved. Tell your friends, family and co-workers...PLEASE DONATE TO MY CAMPAIGN. EVERY DONATION IS A VOTE FOR BELLA!!!

Now, where'd I leave Linus?

Help Bella...Help Them!!!

One more thing I wanted to tell you about is that I'm the Pet Mayor of Montclair. Last year was the first year I entered the race...and I won! I couldn't believe it. Me, Mommy and Daddy with the help of friends, family and supporters raised over $1,900. Man, that was a lot of hard work but well worth the effort. You see all the proceeds go to the Montclair Pet & Wildlife Fund. It's a great organization that supports our community by helping pets and wildlife in need and by fostering the peaceful co-existence of humans and animals through education. Plus Gary and Lee Richter and everyone over there are super cool people. You can learn more about them at http://www.petandwildlifefund.org/


So why all the info? Well, I'm running again this year, sponsored once again by Someone's In The Kitchen. We're trying for a repeat and trying to raise even more money. That's where you can help. Each vote costs $1. The "votes" are tax-deductible. You are welcome to vote with as many dollars as you wish. Unlike conventional elections, I encourage you to stuff the ballot box with votes for Me!!!

How can you vote?

If you're in Montclair Village you can vote at Someone's In The Kitchen, Montclair Village Wine, Spirits & Brew or the Montclair Veterinary Hospital. You can send a check (you can contact me at mailto:bellathebeagle@gmail.com) and this year you can even vote online. There's a link at the top of my page that will take you there.

I guess that's it for now. Thanks for all your support. Alright, I'm off to the Linus blanket...Bella

A Little Bit About Me

How's it going everybody? I thought if I'm gonna do this blog thing I'd better give you a little background. I'm a 3 year old Beagle and I live in Oakland, CA with my Mommy and Daddy. They're actually pretty cool even if they do tell me "no" sometimes.

So here goes...
I love to go on walks (the longer the better)
I love chicken
I love driving in the car
I love my squeaky sneaker
I love people especially kids
I love sitting in the sun
I love taking naps on my Linus blanket

That should get you started plus I don't want to bore you. Talk to you soon...Bella
