Guest Blogger's

I've been busy getting us ready for our upcoming trip to UAE, so I thought I'd turn the blog over tonight to a couple guest bloggers.

Privyet! Mama has been busy getting us ready for Abu Dhabi so I thought I'd give her a break tonight and take over the blog. I want to tell you about one of my favorite friends right now, my dog Bella.

I love Bella for so many reasons but here are a few of my favorites:

1) She's always willing to share her toys with me, and you know, even though mama tells me not to put them in my mouth, they really taste pretty good!

2) Bella loves to play at the playground with me. She climbs the stairs and runs all over the playground equipment faster than I can run. (Must be the extra legs)

3) She loves to play ball and lets me throw the ball over and over again to her even if I only throw it a couple of inches. She doesn't care, she still gets excited and runs all around me.

4) Bella always keeps a watchful eye on me when I'm in the bathtub and even licks up the water that I spill all over the side of the tub.

5) She loves it when I take her by the collar and walk her around the house. Mama says I have to give her a break every now and then, but I know Bella is like the Energizer Bunny and just keeps going and going.

6) She gives the best kisses! I like to kiss her smack dab on the nose and she likes to lick my face. I licked her nose once too, but don't tell mama, she'll freak.

7) Bella likes to make sure I'm safe while I'm climbing up my slide. Sometimes she like a second mama.

8) Bella makes a great towel to dry off on when I get out of the pool. She's pretty absorbent, but I end up looking like Sasquatch when I'm done.

9) Bella is VERY fashionable and loves when I put mama's headbands on her. Don't let that sad face fool you, she's loving every minute of this.

10) She's always willing to sit with me while I pull all the toys off of my shelves. Books, cars, stuffed animals, it's all gotta go on the floor and Bella is always there for it. But now that I think about it, when mama comes in and says in a mad voice, "Artem Alexander..." she leaves me.

11) Bella makes an excellent wrestling partner and loves it when I roll all over her and smush her with my 30 pounds of pure beef cake.

12) She loves my dinosaurs and never gets scared when I make my dinosaurs roar or when they try to eat her. Mama says my dinosaurs are plant eaters, herba somethings, and that if they don't stop eating Bella, the dinosaurs are going to become extinct. I hate when mama uses big words like that.

13) There's no better seat in the house than Bella. She's always willing to give me a place to sit when I'm working on my lawn mower.

And now a word from Bella:

So yes, the kid is cute and he does a great job of leaving me little snacks all over the kitchen floor especially around the table. But seriously, is he really going to stay here full time or will his visit be wrapping up soon? He's staying, really?? Can anyone tell me how much longer until he goes to PreK?
