Ducks

My little girl is getting so big! She finally figured out the stairs tonight, after 2 days of trying. Once she finally got up there, she had to do a lot of exploring and sniffing around. And I really saw the German Shepherd coming out in her. She did that low slinky walk because she was highly suspicious of everything. After a few minutes she was back to her old prancy self but it was fascinating to see her walk like that.

Also, her left ear is standing up a lot of the time now. This is a terrible picture but you get the general idea....

Stella's Aunt D bought her a rubber ducky on my first trip to Petsmart for puppy stuff. It was waaaayyyy too big for her 2 weeks ago, but now it's her favorite toy. Seriously. She's hardly put it down all night. (Squeak squeak squeeeeaaaaaaaaaak squeeeeeesqueak.)

First the dining room....

Then the living room....

The back to the dining room. She loves to carry stuff.

After attempting to dig all of her water out of her bowl and getting it all over the kitchen floor (and as I was looking at the mess in bewilderment she raced around the dining room floor, sliding all the way because her feet were wet, and then came back and did it AGAIN), Stella is in a much-needed timeout in her crate. She fell fast asleep in about 3 minutes. Puppies are so funny.
