Pieces of me in letters

Baby Belle is about 12 weeks old. She is a cute Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. We welcomed her to our home yesterday. 
 
This certainly rises the eyebrows of those who know me well. Yes… I know. I had always been scared of dogs. Small or big… didn’t matter. They all scared me. But it started to change recently, little by little. I am not completely comfortable with dogs yet, but my perception about this particular creature has shifted. From an animal that does nothing but barking, chasing, and biting things (and people!)… to a lovable and playful companion.

But a Rhodesian Ridgeback? Are you sure?? Some of you who may be familiar with dogs probably ask those questions. To be honest, I asked the same question to myself also Baby Belle is small and cute. But once she is grown up, she will be almost the same weight as I am. And originally, Ridgebacks are bred to hunt lion!
Having Baby Belle in our home is a big step for me. I probably wouldn’t get to this point if I wasn’t convinced that everything would work out fine.  I am glad that I can communicate my worries and fears as freely as I would like to. And I am glad knowing that those worries and fears would never be ignored.

Welcome home, Baby Belle! :)
