It's a Girl!

The Essamas would like to welcome the newest addition to their family--Bella Essama! Bella was rescued from the Humane Society of Fairfax County on Sunday, July 27th. Bella is a 5 month old beagle/German Shepherd mix and she is the cutest thing ever! Her first few days she was very quiet and cowered to Hokie, the cat, but she's coming out of her shell now and enjoys howling and chasing the cat, much to Hokie's chagrin.

Bella enjoys long walks with her Mom and Dad (but not peeing during those long walks, she saves that for inside the house), having delicious treats and hates her crate.

Stay tuned for a little slideshow of Bella sleeping and being cute. For now, here is her mugshot from the Humane Society.
