Chicken Legs...Day 2

Stella Puppy here.

Fine! Fine! I'll post the pictures of my chicken legs. On one condition...you don't make fun. It's not my fault that I have short legs, long hair and things get all matted.

And for today...today was not a good day either. I was out on a sniff adventure when I decided to roll in some sort of pricker things. They are the size of a tick and they got stuck in the hair that I have left: on my ear, my leg, my face.... Single Girl is helping me get them out. (When I stay still long enough.)

Well enough stalling I guess. Onto the pictures.

Below is what I looked like before... (taken the day before)


Here is after....(again...don't laugh at my chicken legs...)


You better not be laughing yet....


So, there you have it! I'll keep you posted. Again, this is no one's fault. It had to be done.

Oh, and don't talk to Single Girl about #4. As Terry Bradshaw said, "Can we move on? I'm sick of talking about this."

Ruff, Ruff!!

Chicken Legs

Stella Puppy here.

First off, it's no one's fault. It was going to happen. My hair was just too long. I had mats. My stylist, Lisa, tried to save my hair..it just wasn't going to happen. Do I look like a rat? No. She didn't take off that much. However, I do have chicken legs.

So, for my 10th month birthday I got a spa treatment and chicken legs. One might ask if I'm mad. No...these things happen sometimes. Single Girl and I now know that we cannot use the 5/8 inch and wait 6 weeks. That's all there is to it. Period.

On a happy note, I did get some great new treats that are wheat and corn free made from potato and carrots. Yum, my favorite.

This is Yummy Smelling Stella Puppy signing off.

Oh...and no, you cannot see pictures!!

Some Thoughts On Stella's Post

Well, who knew? Is all I have to say to start this post.

Some items that Stella Puppy forgot to post.

Stella Puppy
  • Loves baby carrots!
  • Loves to go on sniff adventures.
  • Loves popcorn.
  • Participated in Puppy Kindergarten. (Some parts were very tramatic so she doesn't like to talk about it.)

Single Girl
  • Loves the Vikings! It's hard living in Packer Country.
I would also like to comment on her, "I win" comment. Yep, she is right. She is now allowed in my bed (NOT under the covers) and on the furniture....why...she's a non-shedder. If I had a shedding pet, you can be sure that that would not be happening. As long as I'm not pulling/brushing hair off the furniture or my clothes...have a good time.

Other than that, we both had a great productive day outside. Stella Puppy frolicked in the grass and leaves while I got my yard ready for winter.

A Little Bit About Us

Hi, There!
Stella Puppy here.

Single Girl told you about my friend yesterday. Wow, she had quite an adventure. When she got back to our house, she jumped all over and we played. I hope she never does that again or we BOTH will be in deeeeep trouble.

gtjuy6' (Oops...sorry, my paw slipped.)

Anyway, the reason for my entry. As I was chewing on my treat last night I realized that Single Girl didn't tell you anything about us and I find that rude. So, I want to do that for her. Soooo here we go.

Stella Puppy (That's ME)!
  • I will be celebrating my 10 month birthday tomorrow
  • Single Girl got me from some really nice people, Wayne & Jancie Mueller of Mueller's Woodville Kennels, when I was 3 months old
  • I love, love, love giving kisses
  • I will bark at anything or anyone (oh, except emergency vehicles driving past our house)
  • I won! Single Girl told all of her friends that I would never be on the furniture or in her bed...Ha, was she wrong.
  • I love my new fenced-in backyard. I love to run. I also love to run down the block when Single Girl tells me to go to the house after I've gone potty. :)
  • Below is a picture of me. Love it, right?




Single Girl
  • She loves to travel though she hasn't done much since I've arrived
  • She grew-up on a farm so she loves to play in the dirt...you would never know by looking at her though.
  • She works really hard during the week. She's so tired when she gets home she hardly has any energy left to play with me;  but, I understand I would be tired too dealing with all of those kids.
  • Lately she's been talking a lot about volunteering or working for the Cancer Society or the Humane Society. (I know that Grandma died of cancer and that made her sad and that she wants all animals to have a loving family.) Hey...maybe we could get a hippo or something to help out!

I'm not going to post a picture of her...she might get mad at me seeing that she doesn't even know that I'm telling you this.

Well, there you have it. A little bit about us: Stella Puppy and The Single Girl.

Oh, and if you tell her that I typed this, I will totally and completely deny it.

ruff, ruff!!

What A Day

Stella was to have a 2 night/3 day play date with her friend. (We'll call her Bette.) Bette was dropped off at 2:00 and by 3:30 she had jumped our backyard fence and was gone.

Really? Really? Are you kidding me?

So, I did the only thing that I knew to do. I called Bette's family and told them that she was gone. They hadn't gotten too far into their drive, so they came. While they were on their way, I called the only other person I knew who might be able to help me. The Vet. "Call the humane society and the police dept." Sounds good.

So, while I'm yelling at Stella because she did not bark as her friend escaped, I was dialing the humane society, who happened to be closed today, and then the police dept.  At least that nice lady didn't make me feel guilty or should I say more guilty than I already did.

As I walked the few blocks around the house, I just kept wondering how the heck I was going to find this dog.  By the time I got back to my house, Bette's family had shown up and were on the search.

The search lasted awhile until we stopped and asked a nice man at Auto Zone if he had seen a puppy. Turns out that he had. A lady had found her in the parking lot of Auto Zone, which is 1/2 a block down the road from our house. She tried to call Bette's family, but they didn't answer. So, seeing that she wasn't from here, she took Bette to her mom's house for her to take the Humane Society tomorrow.

Well, after a few phone calls, we have Bette back. She is resting comfortably in her OWN home and will be going along on the family trip tomorrow.

So.....1. no sleep-over for Stella Puppy and her friend.   2. When you want to go along with your family, run-away, it works.  3. To Bette.....NEXT TIME TELL ME YOUR PLAN SO I CAN BE IN ON IT!!
