I had to do laundry this morning. Couldn't put it off ANY longer. I piled all of it into this big laundry basket I "inherited" from my mom. I have to go down 3 flights of stairs to the laundry and knew the basket was going to be heavy. So I took a deep breathe, gathered up all my strength and laundry and started to navigate the stairs. Finally, when I made it I began pulling out my clothes to put in the washer. Underneath the second layer of laundry was BELLA!! Just stretched out on her back, enjoying the trip and waiting for her belly rub!! She is so funny--what a joy she is...No wonder the laundry was so heavy--I had an 11 lb. stowaway on board!!!!!
