Hey Din, how ya doing? The lady who owns Crazy Bella is by herself. She doesn't really want a dog but her kids keep buying them for her. I guess she takes some comfort from having a companion who will alert her to the presence of an intruder. She has gone through quite a few dogs over the years. In the past, they've been largely neglected and just kept in the back yard. Bella, despite her delusions of grandeur is okay. Even though she barks a lot, the noise doesn't rattle our windows.
