Hi. I'm Bella. I'm a Shih Tzu. This book is all about my first year. I wrote it with Dad, well, he did the writing, but I supervised by eating sticks. I'm not good at holding pens, I'm better at eating them. This book is all about my adventures. The good and the bad. The best thing that happened to me was meeting my new Mum and Dad. They are kind, provide a good home and give me lots of love. A little dog couldn't wish for more. In return, I shred their mail, dig up the flowers and bark at everything, especially cats, pigeons and ghosts. I'm Head of Security around here. It's my job to keep the house safe. I have to keep my eyes and ears open (except when I'm asleep upside down). I don't trust our postman. He keeps pushing random bits of paper through our letterbox. I didn't ask for any of it. It's a daily job opening everything to check it's safe for Mum and Dad. I bet he wouldn't like it if I pushed things through his letterbox.
