Welcome to the Bungalow

Welcome to "Bear & Bella's Bungalow"! It's where I live with my two favorite pups in this whole wide world, named, you guessed it, Bear & Bella. We make a very happy (and with the 2 of them) hairy family of 3. Their wagging tails, licking tongues, and smushed in faces (they are half Pug, half Shar Pei) light up this little bungalow. Every time I pull my car in and "Bear the Protector", as he's known in the super-dog-hero world, sees my headlights and hears the engine, he will alert his trusty sidekick  and start barking. They are giddy with glee at the thought of me walking through that door. They jump, squirm, and wiggle their little bums. Bella will begin making dinosaur-like noises if I'm giving too much attention to Bear upon my arrival. All this after only a couple hours of not seeing me, take that back, just a 5 minute trip outside to sweep off the front walkway elicits the royal treatment by my brood.  Best part is, I feel exactly the same way about my little pumpkins. I mean look at these faces and tell me you're not in love...

I love the light peaking through the window in this one.

A little halo over Angel Bear.

 This little face is just too irresistible for words. While sleeping 

she MUST be touching my person. What a snuggler. Oh, Bella!

If Bear's not by my side, chances are he 

has decided it's time for bed and is snuggled in

between the softest pillows.

Don't get me wrong, this blog isn't just about my dogs, in fact, when I started it I wasn't even thinking about discussing my pups. I thought they'd make their grand appearance in the blog name 'cause it was sorta cute, and I have an irrefutable weakness for alliteration, but that'd be it. I was thinking of all of the domestic makeovers I wanted to do in my house and backyard, the garden I'm going to start this summer, the reorganizing of my closet and how much fun the "before & after" photos would be, the DIY projects I've been putting off for so long, and all the beautiful meals I've been dying to make. I wanted to catalog all my fails and successes and all the, hopefully, pretty things that will abound from my adventures. That is what I thought I'd be writing about all the time. But, alas you can't help but to speak of the people (or dogs) you love, and I'm guessing this post won't be the last time you hear the names Bear & Bella mentioned.

So a "thank you" to you for putting up with my doggy ramblings and a "thank you" to God, for blessing me with these two munchkins, and letting me come through the door to so much love everyday.

Cheers,

Mal
