Saturday

Today Stella was very sweet and then very bratty and then very sweet again, like any typical toddler. (I find it much easier to handle her if I think of her as a temperamental two year old.) She played, she went outside and met some neighbor kids and explored the idea of bikes (pretty scary at first). Then she got nippy and growled and barked and went wild so it was CRATE TIME! (Nap time.) She doesn't know when to rest yet and if I didn't put her in her crate she'd be up all day and get crankier and crankier. Puppies need lots of sleep, but she reminds me of this commercial:



Tonight I ran the vacuum cleaner again and afterward we had some cuddle time on the floor. Usually I don't get on the floor with her too much because she gets really obnoxious and thinks I'm a chew toy. But she was really cuddly for about 20 minutes, and then she scratched the door to go outside to potty. Holy shit. Was that for real or just a coincidence?

Anyway, here she is showing off for the camera....
Happy weekend everybody!
