Stella came into my home on October 14.  My whole family loves her. I had her at my home for two days before she took off on an adventure to South Dakota pheasant hunting with my son and grandson. She absolutely loved it and was a great hunting dog. I finally got her back after a week and she had settled right in here. It took her a few days to catch up on her sleep, but now she is the ruler of the house. She loves to sit and look out the sliding glass door at the lake and all the geese and ducks. I have a chain for her so she can sit out in the yard too. We go for walks every day and she absolutely HAS to go in the car with me if I am going anywhere. I am working on her not sleeping on top of me at night! I have the perfect place for an active dog, large property right on the lake. She hasn’t gone in the water yet, but next summer I imagine I won’t be able to keep her out of it. I did not change her name from Stella. My son has a silver lab named Stella also, but when we call one or the other, they both come!

Here are a couple of pictures. Looking out the door at the lake and claiming the couch as her own.
