I was born August 6, 2002 at ShadoDancer Airedales in Loudon, Tennessee.  My Mom (Gena) and Dad (Chuck) picked me out of a litter of 8, simply because I was the best puppy they'd ever seen.  Tennessee was nice, but I quickly adjusted to terrorizing my sisters, Trudy, Rita and Ellie in Florida.   

 
The first thing I had to learn in Florida is that all the toys in the entire world belong to my big sister, Rita.  Rita gets very upset when I play with her toys, but she can only guard 2 or 3 at a time, so I play with the others as much as I want!  This photo was taken when I was only 7 pounds. Rita is 70 pounds.
 
 I learned this pose from Rita.  When you have a toy and someone else tries to get it, you give them an icy, dominating stare.  This tells them in no uncertain terms that this toy is MINE!

 
 
 

Trudy is my oldest sister.  Trudy is 11.  She plays "biteface" with me a lot.  Trudy gets tired after a while and tell me that she doesn't want to play any more.  She tells me this VERY loudly!

 
My sister Ellie doesn't like to play much.  She likes to chase little varmints and eat and sleep.  She doesn't like puppies but she does allow me to stretch out on the couch and take a nap with her. 
 
 
Here I am the day after I turned 4 months old.  My face is all wet because I discovered that playing with water coming out of the hose is a lot of fun!  As you can see, I'm much prettier than my sisters.  I'm smarter too, but they won't admit it. 
Here is a photo of me sitting in my Mom's lap.  I'm a year old now and full grown, but I'm still the baby and I'm still the cutest. 

By the way, I'm named after the Roman goddess Bellona.  She was the goddess of war, destruction and chaos.  I'm not much of a fighter, but I more than make up for it in the destruction and chaos departments. 
 My dad fixed it so you can see bigger photos of me if you click on a small photo.  
He said he is going to do that to the other dog pages too, but he did it to my page first!
