Jodi and Stella's Blog (14)

...and you will see a strange creature amongst the stuffed animals...very creepy...

After a very long dry spell, we finally got snow here in the mountains in California. This is where Stella has been spending her time most of the day if she wasn't outside playing in it.

We went to our local annual Oktoberfest today that happens to be dog friendly, so of course we took Stella. She dressed for the occasion and was quite a cute little fraulein.…

I took some shots of a beautiful hike we went on a couple of days ago. Thought I would share..

For Stella's first birthday we took her on vacation to Napa for some wine tasting and up the Mendocino coast for some fun and relaxation. I thought I would post a few cute pictures of her experience.

We just returned home from a short visit to Southern California visiting family and friends. I am so proud of my puppy, she was just the best little traveler.

Well it happened. I am always so fearful when Stella gets the puppy zoomies that she is going to hurt herself and two nights ago she did. She ran into the lever type handle on the side of the recliner and caught her front leg, yanking it back and really messing up her shoulder. She screamed and yelped for a good three minutes-freaked me out. Took her to the vet, nothing broken so she must have some tendon or ligament damage. She is on anti-inflammatories for a week and we'll see how it goes.…

I dug out and dusted off my pilates DVD and mat today with the intention of getting in shape and shedding some winter weight. I soon found out this was going to be more challenging than I had expected due to the fact that Stella had appointed herself as my "personal trainer". As I lay on the mat, when she wasn't crawling under my bent knees, she was pawing and mouthing at my arms and legs as I stretched. At times she was contented with chewing her antler on top of my head. Several times I would… Continue

I ordered this tool bag from Home Depot. It is the perfect size for my growing arsenal of grooming tools and products.

CALSTAR air rescue stopped by the ski resort were I work for in the medical clinic for National Ski Safety Week and we thought we would take advantage of this photo op!

I think my "best friend" got more out of this book than I did...
