HI EVERYBODY . . . . my name is Isabella. You may notice I'm not exactly a Golden Retriever (darn)! My paperwork says I'm a Cocker mix, can you tell by my picture?? My FM calls me a half pint. Don't know what that means, but I think it's because I'm sooooo tiny. FD scooped me up and weighed me. Can you guess how much I weigh? Betchya can't!! I'm only 17 pounds. Not sure how old I am (someone thinks I'm around 7 months . . . ssshhhh . . . don't tell anyone but I think I'm older than that). I really love, love, love my people - I'm so sweet. I don't hardly take up any room in bed. I really like to lay on my FM and FD pillows, that's okay 'cause FD needs me to keep his head warm.
Did you know RAGOM volunteers don't mind driving like a million miles just to get a girl to her new home in Southern Minnesota? I was found as a stray by some kids and they gave me to their grandparents, but they're old. They contacted RAGOM because they couldn't care for me very good. SO, here I am! Now I live with these two other dogs - one gets to live here forever and one is a foster just like me (see our picture). We get along okay, but sometimes I get a little bossy. My fur sisters tell me off and then we're all okay. I didn't have other dogs to talk to before, so I'm learning to share. Where are the cats?? I like cats. I don't get it . . . I used to go out the door all by myself and now they put me on this thing that follows me everywhere. FD says it's for my own good - NOT!! He says it will keep me in my own yard and away from the street. Even though I didn't like it at first, I'M SMART, cause now I don't mind. Do you know what a walk is? I don't. FD said we all get to go on one [I'll let you know what it is later].
I guess I go to the doctor next week. I heard FM say I need to get spayed. WHAT?? If you want to meet me (and I'm sure you do) please contact PLACEMENT
RAGOM [dot] ORG.
Catch ya later!
P.S. I'm going to Leashes and Leads in Rochester on March 14 with my foster sister. Come see us!!!

There has been a lot of interest, all of a sudden, in our sweet little Isabella. So, we just want to send a quick note to let you know Isabella will be meeting a nice family next weekend to see if they will be her perfect furever home.
Wish her luck!

| Isabella had so much fun at the Brooklyn Park event last Saturday . . . Thanks so much Amy . . . she wants to make another appearance at the Dog Wash on Saturday, April 25 at Walser Subaru.
We hope to see you there! Don't forget, if you want to meet Isabella contact your placement advisor. If you haven't filled out an application yet it's very simple - just follow the instructions on the application page. |

Unless something unforeseen happens, Isabella will be making an appearance at the Brooklyn Park event on Saturday. We will not be able to attend, but another kind foster has offered to get her there and show her off.
Isabella is now housetrained, we have not had an accident for twelve days - thank goodness that's over! She is non-stop fun and laughs. We never know what she will do next. She is great with kids of all ages (even us older ones) and she is the best snuggler ever. We have discovered she is better with cats that know how to handle dogs. She is learning to walk nice on the leash.
Isabella will be coming with us to the Dog Wash on Saturday, April 25 at Walser Subaru. Why not stop by and play with her while you get your dog washed. If you would like to meet Isabella, please contact your placement advisor. If you haven't completed an application yet, it only takes a couple minutes . . . then Isabella could be all yours.

Isabella is such a funny girl. Her style of playing is something to behold. At first, she wasn't exactly sure what to think of the other girls in the house. Now, she and our Pepper Anne play until they drop. I wish I could capture the entire act to show you, but they move faster than a speeding bullet (sort of speaking). Isabella will start on the couch . . . leap through the air and land near Pepper Anne . . . run full speed past her to the next chair . . . fly onto the chair scaling the back . . . fly through the air . . . run under Pepper Anne's legs . . . jump onto the couch again running across the couch up onto the back of the couch . . . fly through the air . . . then run behind all the chairs . . . all the while Pepper Anne is trying to figure out which direction Isabella will go in next. It is non-stop action!!! When Isabella is ready for a rest she will hide under a pillow (see picture). If they aren't chasing each other, they are sharing their favorite bones.
Isabella came to us not knowing what a leash was for. Now, she has no problem being on a tie-out or going for a walk. She is the greatest snuggler too. When I am working on the computer, she will hop onto my son's bed and jump into my arms. The reward is you get lots and lots of kisses. We can't say enough what a sweet little girl she is.
Isabella may not be a golden, but she is all golden at heart. So, if you would like a loving, adorable, kind, gentle, fun-loving dog all wrapped up in a little package - she's you're girl.
Contact your Placement advisor. You won't be disappointed.

Oh where, Oh where, is my forever home, Oh where, Oh where can it be?
Isabella had a great time at the event in Rochester last Saturday. She met a couple ladies who thought she was so adorable and she really liked them too. Little Isabella is hoping they will contact RAGOM so she can go to her forever home. Even though there were a lot of dogs and several kids, Isabella was very quiet and well behaved. Of course, she is such a tiny girl all you have to do is scoop her up and she will cuddle in your arms.
Isabella is doing very well with her potty training, as long as you keep her on a consistent schedule. She sleeps the night through with no problems. If you're looking for that special someone who doesn't take up much room in bed, she is the best!
Isabella went to the vet on Monday. Her spay procedure went well and she is very healthy. Before she came into RAGOM the previous owner's neighbor made sure her shots were brought up-to-date - thank you!
Little Isabella is ready for you ..... Please don't keep her waiting ..... Contact PLACEMENTRAGOM [dot] ORG
Guess What? That's What! (ha! ha!) FM says I'm a cutie patootie. I am being such a good girl. I wasn't completely housetrained, but everyone has been helping me and I'm getting much better. Even though I wasn't real sure about sharing with the other girls in the house, we are now best buddies (see our picture, that's Pepper Anne and Leisha #09-076). So, if you already have a dog, I won't mind. But, if you want me all to yourself I am loads of fun!!!
Don't forget . . . . I will be at the Leashes and Leads Store in Rochester on Saturday, March 14, from 11:00 - 3:00 p.m. Oh yah, FM says I have to tell you that Leisha #09-076 will be there too!
