Shazbot, they're just words I though fit well with the situation Bella and I had faced...
Bella wasn't really my choice of dog, but she needed me, and she chose me...
As for the 4th quote, I pushed and pushed for my parents to let me have Bella, and once they said yes, it took a long time for Bella and Zoey to actually like each other. At first it was just them fighting for my attention, but now they actually seem like they like each other... My reward wasn't only having Bella as my dog, it was having Bella like and get along with my dog who was here before her.
