More: In 2017, I moved to Roma, TX as a high school English teacher. Here I found great solace in the neighborhood street dogs (of which there were many). I was particularly found a red heeler and chihuahua (the silliest duo), and I named them Bella and Luis, respectively. After a while, Bella became pregnant by Luis and birthed a litter of ten, one of which was Violeta. Violeta lived outside my front door from day one and refused to leave my stoop. I knew we were destined for one another, and she hasn't left my side since!!
