Our Pain, Stella's Gain

Stella, the BF, MamboMama, my little brother and I are going on a 6 day roadtrip starting tomorrow night. It sounds hellish, I know but at least Stella will love it. A 6 day road trip is Stella's most awesomest dream come true. I am sure she will make about eleventybillion new best friends and I will post those pics either on or after the vacation. In the mean time, Stella's new best friend this week had to be this guy and this girl:


I think Stella gladly would have followed them home, the little bugger, if I did not have her leashed to me.

Stella Makes Friends with a Captain

Stella's new best friend this weekend was Captain John.

Now Stella Bella is not a dummy, she has heard the rumours about Captain John's fish not being quite so fresh. Along with a heart of gold, though, Stella also has a stomache of iron. During park walks in her earlier days, Stella has eaten twigs, dirt, rocks, goose poop and cigarette butts with barely any damage (what is $1200 in vet bills anyway?). She is sure she will be able to eat Captain John's without any long term damage at all. Yay Stella!

Stella also met this little cutie pie on the weekend:

Stella wanted to play with him pretty bad but he was a scaredy-pup. Finally! Stella has found a dog afraid of her....of course the pretty puppy is only four months old but let's not take this moment away from Stella.

Stella on the Toronto Harbourfront

Stella made a lot of new best friends this last week. She gave kisses to an elderly lady who used to have a Boston that looked just like Stella. She played briefly with a couple of young boys in the park and she met a Mini Pinscher named Mocha. He was much more stylishly dressed that Stella but not as well behaved. Stella could not decide if Mocha was trying to play with her or bite her. She could understand his dilemma because she had the same problem earlier in the week, only with birds.


Stella tried to make best friends with a couple of swans but they would have nothing to do with her. She barked and barked and she assumed the proper play stance position but still the swans ignored her like she was a D list celebrity with a failing reality show. It is probably for the best. Even though the swans outnumbered her 2-1 and were twice her size, given half the chance, Stella would have eaten them and everyone they loved. F###ing Swans.

Stella at the St Patrick's Day Parade

Stella had a great time at the St. Patrick's Day Parade this weekend, her first parade ever. She met a lot of fun people so to choose a favourite was difficult. After much deliberation, though, here is Stella's new best friend:

Stella loved the bagpipes but, as you can see, her true interest was in finding out what was being worn under that kilt.
