Bella, age 5

I’m basically queen of the house and have it pretty good. I get to sashay several times a day through my ’hood and gab with my neighbors. I can be a bit high-strung at times (what girl isn’t?), but it’s just because I’m a tad bit nosy and I’m not easily intimidated – so don’t let my size fool you. Lucky for me, mom likes a “good cut” and totally gets the notion of pampering, so regular trips to the spa are an essential part of my week. I love, love, love belly rubs, and sleeping in bed with mom, dad or my brother ensures some good shut-eye. Now let me say, if anyone tries to tell you I’m stubborn, it’s so not my fault. Blame the genes. I’ve heard we (Yorkies) are predisposed to sassy behavior – but it’s nothing my psychic couldn’t handle.
