Stella goes exploring...




Stella loves playing in the yard! She also discovered that she likes to munch on carrots - very crunchy! Shaun keeps a close eye on her though - she can be pretty ornery...!

Stella is here!


After missing her flight on Saturday, Stella finally arrived Sunday afternoon! She loves her hedgehog toy and likes to chew! She had her first trip to the vet today and passed with flying colors.

Countdown to Stella's arrival!


T-minus 6 days and counting until Stella arrives in Colorado! Stella is a puggle (her mom is a beagle and her dad is a fawn-colored pug) who was born May 30, 2009 and is soon to be our puppy!
The picture above was taken at her current home in Arkansas when she was about 6 1/2 weeks old.
