Good Morning, Bella.

Cuddles for Bella. She clearly wasn't interested.

On Friday we took the bus to visit Granny. And after a nice chilled out afternoon in my home town, we decided to stay the night. John just loves being at his Granny & Papa's house -- the different toys, the constant supply of grapes and of course, playing with their dog, Bella.

Despite taking a little longer than usual to settle to sleep and waking up when Papa left for work at 5.30am, we had a not too bad nights sleep. And seeing John's face light up when greeted by an excited Bella first thing in the morning made up for any negative points in terms of a 'good nights sleep'.

It's lovely to watch these two at play. Bella follows John everywhere and John is always running up to Bella for cuddles, to pat or to simply bash on the nose. John loves to give Bella dog biscuits (& knows fine well where they're kept) and Bella likes to sneakily help herself to John's biscuits when his back is turned. John has also become an expert at throwing Bella's ball in the garden and Bella will always play along, regardless of how exhausted she already is.

Being only days apart in age, these two are set to grow up hand & hand (or paw?) and will no doubt continue to cause lots of mischief when we visit Granny & Papa. And God help Bella when John has a little brother for her to keep up with as well!
