Stella was sired by
CH Showtime's Ace in the Hole TT
and out of JeSaJay's Mitzi Girl.
Mitzi whelped ten pups, five of which were white.
Sadly, one white and three of the colored pups didn't make it.
Stella was the last to be born and the runt of the litter.
At the age of 9 weeks, I brought Stella home.
She quickly took over the house hold,
letting Rocky know immediatly who was the boss.
"I pinned him! Do the 3 count!"
She mocks him even, showing off how much more agile she is than him.
Who could resist this face? Not I.
Still asserting her alpha-ness over Rocky,
who just sighs and tries to stay out of her way.
She really is a legend in her own mind.
(I think she's right. Just don't tell her I said so.)
Guarding my nephew?
Or hoping to steal his milk?
Could be both...
"Give us the cookies!"
I love the colors of the sunset reflected on her coat. White boxers rule! ;)
I feel so blessed to have Stella in my life.
Through good times and bad, she has always been my knight in shining armor.
I've never raised a puppy before and I'm just amazed at how well she turned out.
Everyone who meets her just loves her.
I have to admit though, the first year with her and training was certainly a "trial by fire".
I swore that I would never raise another puppy unless I had a soundproof room. lol
She absolutely did not want to be crate trained. Oh the memories I have of that time. ;)
It's amazing that my "Psycho Kangaroo", "White Tornado", and "Whirly Girl",
transformed into a dignified, aristocratic Queen that I am proud to call Mine.
Tragically, I lost my precious girl to an attack of bloat just three days after my 31st birthday.
My heart still aches at the loss of my Guardian Angel.
I miss you, Puppy.
