Hi Barb,

May 8, 2010

Our family has grown! We gave birth to our son Carter on April 1st and Stella has been an excellent big sister. She's very gentle and never walks by without showering him with a big wet kiss on his head. We've had so many visitors this month who are usually first shocked that we would let an animal so big this close to our newborn and then amazed at how Stella handles herself in true "big sister" fashion. Every time he cries in his bouncy chair, Stella goes over to him and entertains him until he's happy again and her new place to sleep at night is directly outside of his bedroom door. The only thing that's still confusing to her is the baby monitor! We're so happy and blessed to have her as a part of our family.

Thanks again,
Kate

Here are some more pictures of Stella. Some are of her when she was a pup and some are of our adventures up north this weekend. She is almost 11 months old and we love her to pieces!

Hi Barb,

I've been meaning to e-mail you to let you know how happy we are to have adopted one of your dogs. She's brought us nothing but joy over the last 8½ months. Stella is a sweet and gentle giant with an infectiously happy personality. Her tail never wags in the same direction and her clumsy puppy body makes us laugh daily. Even though her coordination is sometimes off as she continues to grow, she was still able to outsmart the Border Collies in our agility class. We bring her every week to our neices's soccer games where she lays down for 2 hours only to be hugged, kissed, poked and loved by children of all ages. She loves to be loved. Her best buddy and housemate is our cat. We get complimented on her temperment and physical appearance everywhere we go. Thank you for letting us visit so much and even loaning us Eddie (who we still miss). We're so very happy with Stella! I saw your new website - it's great! You should have an area to post pictures of dogs that you've sold and testimonials from their owners.

Thanks again,

Kate
