Bella is our pure pred yellow lab. She was a birthday present to me from my husband. Bella is 6 years old. She loves to ride in my husband's truck and she loves the beach. There is a picture of her with our grandchildren at the beach. Last Father's day I gave my husband a rescue dog, he named her Maggie May. She keeps Bella young. They love to play together.

saying: The gift that keeps on giving. A master of facial expressions, he is still a pup
at the age of 3. He actively plays with people and fur friends of all ages. His favorite
games with my grandchildren are; Tag and Fetch. He always manages to wear them out
for great nap times for all. His favorite toys are balls, sticks, and Frisbees. His best fur
friends are Bailey, Joe, and Fred. He grew up in Gainesville and loves to still visit the
dog parks and walk the trails there, now he is living on the farm in Citra with an instant
dog park as soon as he steps outside the house. His love for family and friends knows no
bounds. When visiting Oak Vets, he greets Mandy and Tish by standing up at the counter
to say “HI”. Though we have full days every day of work and games, I would have to say
that my favorite time is when he sleeps at my side and I can watch him relive the events
of the day in his puppy dreams. A special thanks to everyone at Oaks for helping me keep
him active, happy and healthy!! Happy Holidays to ALL!
