The first photo is one of my favorites of Clarabelle! Dolly was still nursing her puppies that were around seven weeks old. When we brought Clarabelle home she just joined in and forgot that her own mother weaned her! I think they formed a special bond ever since. Although, we have this sneaky feeling that she thinks she is a Golden Retriever and not a Hound Dog!!!
