It was already too late when I brought Stella home just 12 weeks after her birth. Her devil-may-care personality was already established, and there was no amount of money (lots), or stints at training courses (two) that could do anything to change it. Stella is like a drunken frat girl; She loves life, she loves you, and she wants nothing more than to prove it to you until she finally collapses and passes out. Luckily for me, and everyone else, she's the sweetest dog I've ever known. Sure, everyone says that about their dog, but she's all Jekyll and no Hyde. I swear! Well, there was that squirrel I found one time, but something tells me that little jerk deserved it. (She was very respectful during the services)
