I'm Bella and I'm a ball of fire! My foster Mom and Dad say I am very, very smart and cute too!  In fact I am so smart I have already figured out how to use the lever to open mom's French doors to come inside. I love to romp and play, and play, and play with my foster brother Falco so I need to be somewhere where I can get lots of exercise. Even he gets tired of me sometimes. He and I can run around outside chasing each other and wrestle and even when he puts me on the ground I get right back up and jump on him for more play. I often get corrected by my older foster brother and sister (8 and 6 YO GSDs) for just wanting to jump on their heads or get in their personal space when they are laying around. I do talk back to them when they correct me and even talk back to mom sometimes when she tells me I am doing something I am not allowed. Although I am good with the dogs here I will probably annoy a lot of dogs, and think I would be too much stress for older dogs. I am a puppy and learned how to counter surf in my last home and since I am a puppy I still try to chew on things that don't belong to me. My parents say that I would not be good somewhere there are small children because I am too mouthy and jump up on you.  I just *love* to play!  I know sit, but don't always listen when my parents come home or when I get excited - I need to jump up on them to give them kisses and then ask them to rub my belly, feels so good!  Dog savvy cats will be ok with me but mom thinks young playful cats may be too tempting and I might hurt one since I play rough like a big dog, even though she doesn't think I would mean to hurt them. On a walk, I waded in some water w/ the other dogs and thought it was pretty cool but not too sure about actually swimming and barked at the other dogs when they did. Did I tell you I like to play? Approved adopters may contact my foster mom at mroeshort@aol.com
