Hi, I'm Chessa. Chessa the Messa. Formally known as Lady Donway ChessaBelle Hargrove. Affectionately known as Chessa of Troy. Often known as Chessa Bellum or simply Bellum.

Welcome to my web site. It's all about me, the things I like, the things I don't like and, of course, My Pond.

I am two years old, I am a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and even though I am a girl I am an Alpha Dog, and I am devilish as the day is long!!! I live in South Carolina with my Mom and Dad and a crazy hound dog named Jaco and a couple of cats on an 8-acre Pond.

After being on top, my favorite things are swimming, people, swimming with people, loving people, jumping on and knocking down my Aunt Rattlers and Granny Annie, my Auntey Peta period, fetching when I feel like it, playing frisbee whenever anyone feels like it, loving and swimming, car rides and swimming, loving and car rides, the hose, and peanut butter. Oh yes, I love peanut butter, almost as much as I love people!

Here you can find out about my escapades through photos, movies and animations, and I have included some of my favorite applets and links.
