The Habitat of the Wild Stella

Greetings, all!

Long timey, no writey. Why? I don't know. Last weekend I went to WI and I've had a cold for the last TWO WEEKS.

This week is my "spring" break, so maybe I will write more often. I hope to thrift a lot.

Some of you might be wondering how to locate the Wild Stella-Dog. A rare species, this mixed breed can mostly be found on our couch:

(The couch is rapidly deteriorating. Anyone want to get rid of a brown leather sofa?!)

She also likes laps:

Like wolves and jackals, Stella-Dogs often inhabit laundry piles as well.

The den of the Wild Bobo-Dog:

Stella enjoys only the finest Innova food:

(Note the raccoon penis bone on the windowsill; a must for every kitchen.)

While pitbulls have a very tough persona, Stella is a fairly fearful girl. Her nemesis is the stove:

Unfortunately, between our coffee roasting and cooking activities, the smoke alarms go off quite frequently. Even the wildest beast-dog must retreat until the noisy threat passes:

It's much safer upstairs.

Stella-Dogs especially enjoy disgusting bones:

But some toys, this one a gift from KB, Stella loves TOO much.

Wild beasts of course can be found outdoors.

Today we walked north on the West River Road. (The University of Minnesota West Bank is visible, with downtown Minneapolis behind.)

Here the Wild Bobo did not appreciate the loud noises from the Highway 94 bridge above.

She prefers beautiful scenery:

But pitbull/boxer mixes do not have a lot of fur or fat to keep them warm. After our cold walk, the Wild Stella found a cozy sunbeam to nap under, not unlike a ferocious cat.

I hope this critter post helps you locate the Wild Stella-Dogs in your own neighborhood!


Lovies,

I was hoping for a Stella-Dog post, because I do not have any in my neighborhood. If you ever need a dog sitter and want to drive several hours to drop her off, I'll take her!
