Well, Pepper (Bella’s new name) is doing GREAT and is as happy as can be in her new home with her 4-legged sister, Mocha, a Vizsla/Weimaraner mix, and her two human sisters who give her lots of exercise!

 We were lucky enough to get invited over for a play date, and boy, did we have a BLAST!!

We very much enjoyed seeing how happy Pepper is with her forever family!  We plan to get all the dogs together for play dates often in the future!
