Stella's Top 8 NickNames

Today's blog entry is inspired by the Ladypug Mugs blog. Not long ago, Clementine and Winston listed their nicknames and Stella thought to herself "Hey, I have some awesome cool nicknames!!!" Then she decided I should list them.

So, at Stella's request, here are Stella's "other" names. They are:

1. Stella Bella

2. Stinky

3. Stinky Stella

3. Nut Ball

4. Stumpy

5. Stumpy Butt

6. Pretty

7. Killer

8. Stella Ella Ola (Qwack Qwack Qwack)

So there they are. Stella's super cool nick names as given to her by her family, bestest friends and one guy she kind of tolerates.

UPDATE:

Stella now wishes me to add two more nicknames, as bestowed upon her by her Boston buddies, Mack and Murphy. So here they are:

9. Stella Ella Bella Della (as per Mack)

10. Stella Stels (as per Murphy)

Awesome! Eight is a sucky number for a list to have, ten is way better.

Pawlimpics 2008

The Pawlimpic Games, 2008 are here and Stella is proud to be one of the participants in the worldwide bone relay.




Stella only managed to get one photo entry in for the Pawlimpics mostly becuase her parents suck.

Here is a photo of Stella carrying the bone:






Thanks so much to our awesome friends at Wire Wise for putting so much work creativity and effort into these photos and video and hosting the games!

Stella and THE MYSTERY OF THE CHEW

Not too long ago, I posted an entry about Stella chewing her stuffingless stuffie. I even provided a little video to show you how her chewing of this stuffingless stuffie was much more toned down than it usually is - bo-ring. THEN I wondered if she had some strategy, some (and I quote) "master plan".

Well, I walked into the washroom, her favourite stuffie chewing station, just a few days later and what do I find?

Stella with her stuffingless stuffie turned completely inside out!!! Do you see in the photo that her toy is pretty much the same length as her? Or how narrow this particular stuffie is? How the heck did she manage this?

I guess I will just have to chalk it up to being the mystery of the chew.

So just to summarize: Stella above, stuffie right side out / Stella below, stuffie inside out.

Cartoon Made for Stella!

Stella's Laziest Chewing EVER

So I asked Stella to star in a video showing off her awesome stuffy chewing skillz on her stuffingless stuffy that has managed to last her a FULL TWO WEEKS!!!! Stella totally agreed because she knew the video was going to be seen by Murphy Dogg, who is Stella's favouritist punk rock dogg and who also possesses superior stuffie destroying skills.

But when I actually clicked record on the camera, this is the chewing she did. I just don't think her heart was in it, what do you think? Maybe it was the music in the background, too relaxing maybe? Or maybe I have it all wrong, she is actually being quite precise and methodical. All this chewing is part of her master plan.







Here is a photo of my adorable Boston with her favourite stuffingless stuffy toy (It's a bunny), the same one in the above video:
