The Original Charlie Boy!

My Pretty Sweetheart, Bella!

Little Joe!

What a noble visage!

Feeling the warmth of the sun-soaked wood...

Ready to roll over and get some pets!

Groggy Doggy!

Awwww! Bella (aka "Mrs. Big Ears") as a baby, ears up and paws stretched, just as they should be!

She was barely larger than Jim's slipper!

Better than a hot water bottle for Jim!

She was sooooo little!

Baby girl!

Snoozing on the back of her big brother...

"No one told us to stay off the uncovered duvet, honest!"

The gang's all here! Charlie, Baby Bella, Sam and Jim!

Another cozy family portrait...

Charlie with his new and constant puppy companion, Baby Bella!

Bella the Bonecruncher!

This is my beautiful Bella at her finest!

That's my heinie-up Joe!

"Let ME see that camera, Mom"
