Bella is visiting from Missouri, and she had a great first-ever day at the beach! She spent most of the time chasing a new favorite stick, but what I was most impressed by was how she stuck by her parents the whole time. Not many ten-month-old dogs (much less energetic labradors!) have that strong of an attachment already… so I think it’s safe to say that life in Missouri (although beach-less) is very happy for this young pup.

Isn’t she beautiful?

She even went in the water to get her stick! So brave! She even got submerged by a big wave at one point, but it hardly even fazed her! (it was actually quite funny for the rest of us…)

Bella, it was so much fun to meet you & your family! Enjoy the rest of your time in Pensacola, and I hope you get to come visit the beach again soon!
