Ames Dogs Woof Down at Treats on a LeashBy Anthony CappsAmesTrib.com

Ames, IA – Barb and Michael Morris’ basset hound Bell had a strong personality and very expressive eyes.

Barb had an idea to open a pet specialty store called Bell’s Boutique. But in September, at 10 years old, Bell developed kidney problems, and the family lost her a short time later.

“I think she inspired me to do something meaningful; it was time for a change,” Barb said.
