Bella & Enzo: Canine Artists?
"Honey, there's something I have to tell you. I'd like to adopt another Cattle Dog. Bella and I met him at Paul's video shoot and he fell in love with Bella the day they met. I’d like to pick Enzo up tomorrow.” My husband rolls his eyes but quickly gets on board. “If we’re going to adopt this little guy then I want to come with you to get him."
My husband and I are excited during the long drive to pick up Enzo from the volunteer who’s been fostering him. Enzo greets us enthusiastically. He looks just like Bella except that he has a patch over his left eye and has what’s called a stubbie tail. Enzo sits on hubby’s lap during the ride home and wins hubby over by the time we get there. Bella and Enzo greet each other like long lost friends. As soon as I put them in the yard and they begin rough housing.
Bella was 9 months old when we adopted her. She began making constructions with her soft plush toys at the age of two. She was self-taught as a canine artist. She was three when Enzo came along and already had her own website. The story got even more unusual when we discovered that Enzo had started making constructions. He had been living with us for just seven weeks and was only 9 months old! Bella was the innovator. Enzo was her student. The closeness of their relationship and Enzo’s willingness to take a subordinate role were important factors.
The current website is version 3.0. It celebrates the love story of Bella and Enzo. I leave it to you to decide whether you think it's possible that A Dog Did That!
