Imaginary Friend

I recently rearranged the furniture in my living room, which means that the fireplace is back out in the open. Which means that the glass doors are showing. Which means that Stella can see herself in them.

Stella thinks there's a dog living in the fireplace. Right now she's showing off her toys to the fireplace dog. Last night she would look at Fireplace Dog, bark, race around the room, look again, and repeat. HILARIOUS.

So here's Stella at 5 months and 30 lbs. She's still pretty small. Her body looks a little long compared to her legs, and she's still got ears that go half floppy and half upright. Everyone who meets her thinks she's the cutest puppy EVER. I have to agree.


She's in love with the toy her aunt sent to her . It has two squeakers, so a lot of what I've been hearing lately is "Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesquesqueeeeeeeeeeaaaak." Thanks D.
