Vella lived a long and happy life with Linda and Nick, primarily on the couch. We didn't have many pups from her but nearly all of the Vortex Bullies descend from her. Vella is sadly missed by both her mums, both her dads and her many friends.

These are two of her pups, sired by Ch Vortex Destiny's Pick of Boromir. Click the brindle to see how she turned out.
