				I'm Linda 
				Bell. I live in Des Moines, Iowa with my two young Airedales, a 
				Border Terrier and a very understanding roommate. I retired from 
				Veterans Hospital last September, however I still work several 
				days a month when they are short of staff. 
				One of the 
				greatest pleasures I have in my life is working with active and 
				retired service personnel who have so graciously served our 
				country.  My hobbies include gardening, reading, pet therapy, 
				and quilting. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on the last four 
				quilts  I spend most of my time working with these three young 
				dogs. Rebel will be 2 on July 11, 2006. He has his CGC and TDI. 
				Levi will be 2 on March 14th, 2006. He is doing Pet Therapy with 
				Rebel at our Veterans Hospital. Ellie was a Year on January 
				31st, 2006. She is going to obedience school and doing lots of 
				socializing. and has her CGC and TDI. I plan to do agility with 
				both dales. 
				  I love 
				being retired so I can do so many fun things. 
				  I would 
				like to dedicate this to my three dales that went to the Bridge 
				in 2004. They were the light of my life and I miss them greatly. 
				Also I would like to put Nalla (a rescue), in the dedication 
				also. She was so brave after her surgery, and was such a good 
				girl.
