Awhile back...

I posted asking for suggestions for a new name for the dog I was planning to adopt.

While I appreciated all your suggestions (they were great!)...

On the way home, both my co-pilots (boyfriend as well as best friend) had fallen asleep, which left only the poochie and I awake. I was talking to her, in order to get settled down and used to my voice, when I caught myself saying, "And from now on, I promise you'll have a beautiful life."

Thus, her name became "Vita Bella." "Beautiful life" in Italian. While most of the time, she goes simply by "Vita," I think it definitely fits her personality (she's full of life, that's for sure!), as well as her story of hardknocks that has now found a happy ending.




Thank you all!
