Happy Tail: Bella becomes a beauty

Paul and Jen Edson peered at the photo they’d just received from Petfinder after requesting emails be sent when a new pet matching their search criteria was entered into the database. Their beloved Shih Tzu had died about three months earlier, and Jen was pressing to adopt a dog to help ease their grief. But this one they were looking at hardly looked like a dog at all. No eyes were visible beneath the mat of knotted hair. She sort of resembled a rag mop.

The dog, now named Bella, was in San Bernardino County Animal Hostel and had been picked up as a stray. It was to take place over several days in the case of the original owner came to me, but Edsons found him anyway - just in case they became available.

"Bella won our hearts with Cricket 'her legs and places he saw in his cage," Paul said.
They left the house and began to wait.

No one came looking for Bella, so when the waiting period is over, Edsons returned to the shelter to adopt. To his dismay, he has two other families.

"It came down to a lottery," says Pablo Edson, "and my wife chose the right number. Little Bella began life with us that day."

A new life began with a good bathroom. "We washed four times with insects and dirt simply put," said Edson. "We cut as many nodes as possible. Your current picture looks nothing like the picture when the house that day in September has brought. "

"I was reluctant to get another dog," Paul admits, "but my wife, God bless her, helped me - and we - decides to take Bella .. And how wonderful it was both know that our Shih Tzu girl in the sky Bella sent our way. "Life is more beautiful with Bella.
