Meet Stella!

A bundle of joy has arrived at our house in the form of a wild puppy.  We adopted Stella from Barktown Rescue in Bardstown, Kentucky.  (Aside on Barktown:  they are fabulous! They adopt animals from other shelters to keep them from being put down, and every animal is put into a volunteer foster home until a forever family is found. AMAZING dedication from everyone there.)  

Stella is a mix of we don't know what...a little lab... maybe a little collie... maybe a little rottweiler? But whatever she is, she's a whole lot of cute.

My mothering skills have been tested as Stella woke me up every night around 2 a.m. during her first week with us to go potty.  And of course that happened while Sean was in Canada.  She has already grown leaps and bounds and by the size of her paws she's going to be a monster.  Cassie is enjoying the company... most of the time.  :)
