How Bella came to live with us (Miss Sally and Mr. Bob)

 She's just a sweet, little, black Pomeranian - with an attitude! The ebook, which can be downloaded to your tablet, Kindle, phone, or even the free Kindle app, on your computer is for little kids, ages 3 - 5. This little book is a true story about how Bella (when she was just 4 weeks old) came to live in our house.  She's often called "Bella, the Beast" because she often likes to "rule the roost" - and Precious, who is just 6 months older, won't tackle her (and tattles when Bella steals her bone.) To order just click the link and enjoy. Hopefully, there will be more Bella and Precious books! See Little Bella's New Home

I was born, on a kitchen table (I've been told) in a small rental house just down Hwy 37, south of Taylorsville,  MS.  Dr. Kennedy and my friend, Mary Lou Gregg Cheatham Cooke's mother, Myrtle Hathorn Gregg, was the midwife who helped to deliver me, on that table. (I never asked if they ever ate, on that table, again!) I wished, years later, that I had taken a photo of that little house. I do remember seeing it. I wish that I had asked to go...
