November 20, 2000 — Nancy with Bella at the entrance of the Delta terminal at LAX.

A ride in the elevator to the ticketing area.

Don — buying Bella's ticket.

Bella gripped Don tight as Lynn took a turn holding the baby.

A last cuddle. Next time we see Bella, she will be too big to hold!

Bella cools her belly on the marble floor.

Back with Daddy. Could she look any sadder? (is that a word, sadder???)

On to gate 51.

Nancy put Bella's Harley-Davidson T-shirt on and she went right to sleep.

Puppy Dreams.

Time to board — Bella peeks out of the carrier.

Nancy makes sure Baby Bella has everything!

Bye, Bella. Thanks for all the love and puppy kisses. We have all been "touched by an angel." Don't forget to write and send pictures.

XOXO

As soon as we get pictures from The Hall's, we will post them!

You're listening to "Leavin' on a Jet Plane."
