Bella's 1st Picnic!

Maltese Picnic!
Bella Rose Rory is 2 1/2 year old Maltese who resides in Lake City, Florida with her Mom, Dad and sister. She was born in Elmsworth Nebraska in December 2007 and flew to Jacksonville, Florida March 2008.
My inspiration for this photo came from locating a large picnic basket with blue checks in a local store. One of Bella'a dresses had similiar blue checks. Bella and her sister Tilly Bell (Maltese 1 1/2 yrs) jumped in the basket when I brought it home and began to play. My idea for the photo of a picnic began.
This photo scene tells a story:
1st Bella arrives at the picnic and gets close to the basket. "There are some good smells coming from the basket woof!"
2nd Bella is thinking about "How do I to crawl in the basket with no one noticing."
3rd Bella is in the basket looking for treats, toys etc but suddenly hears a noise. She is looking around to see if anyone is coming. States, "The coast is clear."
4th Bella has a full tummy and wonders "What is for dessert?"
Bella is a Certified Psychiatric Service Dog "Helps with Depression, Anxiety and helps to make others feel good."
Bella can also walk on her back legs like a human. It is unbelievable. This was not taught to Bella. Her sister does not have this talent.
