Luv, Bella ('member to tell her my eer luks great to you!) 20 May There was a truly monumental event in Springfield, Missouri yesterday - four Airedales were in one park at one time - playing and walking together! It was so much fun! Peggy has two Airedales: three-year-old Maggie & eight-month-old Jack. Sheryl has Captain, who will be a year old in August. Milestone with Bella - she has spent the last two nights with the crate door open! I think she spends the night in there, but Denys decided to try to give it a shot and she apparently spent some of the time at least on her sofa, but she does love her little den!
