Bell, Beau and Brady

From left, Bell, Beau and Brady, three Papillons, occupy a warm spot on the couch and in the hearts of Charlie and Carolyn Smith of the Cherry Branch community. Bell is a 6-month-old female, while Beau is a 2-year-old male and Brady is a 19-month-old male. The Smiths say the dogs enjoy the sun, walking on the beach, playing with toys, visiting with friends and family, and of course, each other. They say the got the dogs from a breeder in Elizabeth City. Beau and Bell are half brother and sister, and Brady is their uncle. The Smiths say the dogs are a joy and keep them laughing and entertained.
