my name is stella

Hi there ! My name is Stella and I am almost 4 years old. I was adopted around Christmas time for my mom, but my dad is my favorite! He gives me more treats than he tells mom, but lets keep that between us! He also doesn't mind all my fat rolls.
I was really little when I first came home, I had my first bath in the sink at our old house. We have a new house now- it has a dog park!! 

Daddy calls me the most expensive free dog ever. But that's probably because I had an accident when I was really little where I got my tail caught in the sliding glass door and part of it came off. Good thing the puppy doctor was right down the road so that they could stitch it right up, I had to wear a cone for a few weeks which I ended up chewing to bits, so that was the only fun part. Theeeennnn, about a year later I wacked my tail on the wall, or chair, or deck railing, or really anything (I was always hitting my tail on stuff) & it broke the end again. So I had to have the WHOLE THING chopped off... it was a sad day. But now I have a nubbie, and its a nice nubbie. I have a cow lick on the end of it that mommy has to cut so the other dogs don't make fun of me.
I have a big sister who cleans me all the time. It's loud, but it's okay & I make a funny face when I get in trouble; I squeeze my eyes together so tight because if I can't see you, then you cant see me, and I smile real big to remind mommy and daddy just how cute I am!

I ran away once with my big sister. We just went a few streets over but it took a long time to find us. All we wanted to do was go to the pond, but we got lost on the way!

My days consist of chewing on my Kong Bone while trying to get my sister to play with me. She is older so shes not as playful as I am so I usually whine until daddy comes outside to play. He'll take off my zappy collar and we will walk to the lake, which is in our backyard, but its still a treat for me! I love the water, but I hate the water from the inside! I don't like little dogs so we only go to the dog park in the evenings... small dog babies just look like toys to me and it scares me when they make noise. I like when we go Lowes together as a family- that's my favorite thing to do, but only if we take dad's car... I have to ride in the waaaay back in mom's and I don't like that. 

My favorite snack is cheese. 

That's about it for me, mom just wanted me to introduce myself!
