Whitney and Bella

Woof! (Hello!)

This is a blog about the daily lives of 2 doggies in Gilbert, Az... Whitney and Bella.

I (Whitney) was born in mid-December, 2003 in a redneck neighborhood in Tucson, Az. I am a Border Collie/Shepherd mix dog. At the age of 8 weeks, I was taken to the pound and then adopted that same day by my parents. My mom says she chose me because I was the only pup in the litter who had short hair and who was all black (the rest of my brothers and sisters were black and white - traditional Border Collie markings). But I think it's because she knew that I am really a kid in a dog's body; I swear I am!

My little sister, Bella, was born in Queen Creek, Az on a ranch on July 1, 2005. Bella is a Queensland Heeler/Australian Shepherd, plus a little Border Collie somewhere in there. She was given to us by one of my mom's co-workers at her old job. Bella is an okay little sister, but she wants to play fight way too much for my likings. I prefer to watch tv or sit and stare out the window. Bella, on the other hand, is your typical doggie dog - constantly trying to play fetch with any person who's around, even strangers!

In general, our other hobbies include: frequent visits to the dog park, sleeping on the tile by the front door when our parents are gone, digging in the rocks outback, looking out the window in the morning on our parents' bed, watching Animal Planet, and playing tug-o-war with each other.
