Stella At Woofstock: Awesomest Day Ever

As you can see, Stella had a FABULOUS time at Woofstock 09. Everywhere she sniffed, there was something to eat or a new dog to greet. And she was finally treated with the respect she deserves at an outdoor restaurant. Chicken stew was served right to her perfectly sized table.

Among her favouritist new Woofstock pals was a pink poodle, a purple mohawked punk rock dog, about a billion other Bostons and a dog that looked a lot like a chicken. Yay Stella!

Dastardly Adorable Bear Cub Gets Caught with Head in Feeder

An adorable and - according to Stella - evil bear cub was caught with his head in a bird feeder on Memorial Day weekend. Stella says "It was me. I caught the bear cub jerk in a carefully and cunningly laid out master plot to rid the world of excess cute. After all, there is "adorable dog" and then there is "other". Who needs "other"?"

Unfortunately Stella's plan for cute domination was temporarily thwarted by the bear cub's mother. This much larger and decidedly less cuddly version of the trapped cub tore the bird feeder apart with her ferocious teeth, each one roughly the size of Stella's adorable paw.

Stella Goes to a Birthday Party!

So Stella went to a doggy birthday party this weekend! She had SO. MUCH. FUN.

She got to play with her best friend Amy:

And she got to eat tons of yummy treats:

And chew on bones that smelled like almonds:

And she got to watch her best friend Amy open cool birthday presents:

And she got to eat part of a big - no, giant - happy birthday cookie:

Even us humans had cake:

And when Stella left, she got to take home treats:

Yay Stella and Happy Birthday Amy!!!

Happy Holidays and Happy 2009!!!

Stella and I had an awesome Christmas. We both got lots of prezzies and ate tons of food! First the BF, Stella, and I went to Mambo Mamma's and brother's on Christmas morning. Then we all high tailed it back to our place. I cooked while Stella opportunistically cleaned the kitchen floor, which was fun for both of us. The BF set up and played Rockband and Kitty mostly hid in various spots around the condo. Mambo Mamma and brother came over for dinner and we all ate too much!!! We will post photos of Stella enjoying Christmas soon.

New Years was mostly AWESOME for me and, at first, it was great for Stella. Kitty pretty much alternated between hiding and demanding attention from guests. Then the countdown began and the noisemakers came out. Stella was not sure if she enjoyed that part. She was curious but a little nervous so she took a time out in the bedroom while she made up her mind.

I thought Kitty would hide through the noise of the countdown - that is what she usually does when she hears loud noises - but I underestimated how upset she would get. I especially thought she would stay pretty mellow because her epilepsy was acting up earlier in the day so we had to give her double dosage of her pheno. This should have helped her stay mellow...only it didn't.

Once the noise makers and cheering started, Kitty jumped right out of her favourite hiding spot and started running like a crazy cat all over the condo. Being stoned, her coordination and reflexes suck so she was banging into things and people. We were trying to direct her into the bedroom so she could hide in the dark and calm down before she killed herself. Can you imagine 15 drunk people trying to herd in insane little kitty into a bedroom? Of course, as soon as the bedroom door was open, Stella joined in the chase (Stella believes it is her personal duty to chase and corner Kitty whenever she is in trouble). I was so worried about the Kitty getting hurt, I did not realize how stupid funny the whole thing looked. Luckily, crisis was averted when we managed to herd her into the washroom, where (Stella and) I stayed with her and calmed her down. She was back to purring in about 15 minutes and there were no broken bones or poked out eyes....whew!

I never would have expected Stella to get nervous and Kitty to freak out. Especially because both Stella and Nellie are fine in Thunderstorms, when they hear fireworks, and around large groups of people. I guess I will know better for next time. Sigh.

Stella is Winterized

Stella is shedding her bad girl duds and donning her winter coat. It is COLD outside! And snowy. And windy. And did we mention cold?

Stella was a litte unsure of this coat when we tried it on in the store but now she practically jumps into it! Stella may not love being stuffed into a tiny parka but she hates being cold!

Pardon the messy open closet in the background.

Forget the walk. Stella is taking a nap.

SHE'S BACK AND SHE'S a BAD dog

So Stella and I have been absent for a little while. Totally my fault, not Stella's. I went and got myself a new job that involves long hours and SO much writing. So I have been sort of write-ed out by the end of the day. Any way, Stella promised to post some photos of her Halloween costume and, well, better late than never. At least I got them up before Christmas!!
