Bella: Our Lovely New Dog

Bella has burrowed her way into our hearts. Last week the Underdog Rescue placed Bella in our care. We've enjoyed every moment of our time with her.
She's a remarkably lovely dog. She's a young adult, though we don't know her exact age. She herded all the children in her first Madison placement , so we suspect she's got some Border collie in the mix. Her fur looks black from a distance but up close it's a deep brown; so maybe there's some chocolate lab heritage. We're thrilled with how easy* she is:
- She greets everyone with a wiggle and a kiss, genuinely pleased to meet new people and dogs.
- Her fur is as soft as a rabbit's coat, and she's so soothing to pet.
- She enjoys playing, walking, and sleeping equally.
- When she sleeps, she emits comforting snores, snuffles, and wheezes.
- She came to us already potty- and crate-trained
- She already knows "sit," "no," "come," and "drop it." In less than 10 days she's well on her way to "down," "hupup," and "off."

*: We assumed all dogs were challenging after 14 years with Teddy the Neurotic, then 15yrs with Lucy the Alpha Bitch.

Okay, that's not entirely all. The everyone greeted with a wiggle and a kiss sounds like chocolate lab heritage, too. I know collies can be sweeties themselves, but... labby bias, me? Why neeeever.
*Bella, not you. If I talk to you like that, you're well within your rights to call me on it! :)

Nerd time: is the photo placement (one floating left, one floating right) deliberate? I like the effect on my reading page, but here - which I guess is site style - not so much. There are bullet points on top of the first photo and the second one drops down alongside this comment box / the first comment. Perhaps a bug in site style?
