Della, our Southern Belle



Good morning Friends,

So i'd like to introduce you to my puppy. A true treasure and source of happiness. She responds, at her convenience, to "Della". We found her, like all current "love stories" on the internet, fell in love, and shipped her all the way from Georgia. To our surprise, people are frequently ordering their feline friends on the internet these days. While waiting for our little bundle of joy at the Minneapolis Airport, there were two other eager new pet owners waiting for their new bundles as well. So it appears that our pup had some friends on her flight that were probably just as freaked out as she was.
Della melded into our family with ease. She is easy to please with plenty of food, treats, and of course a good walk or run outside. And while we had vowed to never let her on the bed. we've caved once or twice.
While you would never know if she is happy, sad, upset, or showing any emotion by looking at her face.... her tail is the true sign, as it wags nearly constantly save the few times when we have to say "stay" when we're leaving the house and it slowly descends in defeat.
Being a Chinese Shar-Pei, be warned, the rumours are true, she doesn't like strangers. Oddly enough, she wont even take treats from a stranger. Yet at home she's a cuddly bundle of mush.

Joining the world online....

Wow! So it looks like I'm officially entering the world of blogging. I must admit, it feels a little strange to offer unsolicited opinions, information and advice to a world of that is full of people offering the very same combination of excess information.

However, my hope and prayer, is that something or anything that is mentioned on here, will in some way shape or form bring inspiration, bring a smile, add some peace, or just generally help any individual who happens upon this little blog of mine.
