:Edwina sent..a Bella update

Just thought that I would up-date some pictures of Bella.She seems to get lighter as she gets clipped around her face, more towards her Mom I think.

She is going on ten months and everything we have read about Lhasas fits her to a T. She just has to have something to chew on and can entertain herself quite well. I haven’t figured it out yet but she loves the snow and is forever going after ice chunks, this also includes sticks,etc. I keep telling her that she is a Lhasa Apso and not a beaver.

She isn’t very fond of going in the car tho. Not since she was spayed. I think she associates the car with a bad time and  we say lets go or put our jackets on she heads for her kennel and ‘ here she stays. I have taken her but she shakes til we get out on the highway and  settles down.

We be came the grandparents of twin baby boys last October and she is so good with them. She probably would have made a good Mother. If the babies cry she is very concerned and runs to get help. When they are in their bouncie seats she goes from one to the other to check on them. When she first saw them we sat on the floor, let her smell them and since then she has been great.

She is and continues to be a joy to have around. How are her sisters doing???

:Sondra asks..

What is the music on this site—I LOVE it!!!!

You’re not the only one that has asked! The sound byte you hear in the background is from the above album. Legend of a White Stupa is the piece. I love the entire album and have had requests to add more music, longer pieces to the website. To add this particular clip took me several weeks. Doing this might be easier now, but at the time Nate helped me convert the small sound byte into the proper format. The entire piece of music was too big a file. The music isn’t being fed through the blog; the blog is being fed through the FFT website where I’m able to include background music.

I don’t know enough about blog technology…it’s a bit different and certainly more dynamic than traditional websites. It’s possible I’ll be able to do more with the music as I climb my way up the learning curve.

they fall in love with the little guardian from the Himalayas?
