Bella and her new pet

My mom and Bella went to the park yesterday and Bella came back with a buddie. She was holding a live cricket in her hand all the way home. She even tried to let it go in the grass but it wouldn't leave her. (And yes, it was still alive.)





She begged to bring it inside before letting it go. I agreed and put it in a cup for her. A few minutes later, I came back into the room and Bella and her cricket friend were sitting next to each other "watching a cartoon together."



She finally agreed to let it go and he is finally happy in our backyard.
