More: Stella helped us survive the pandemic. She is the first dog that I have ever know. She makes me laugh every day. She is smart snd understands a large vocabulary. When I was sick with 102 fever and chills from my second vaccine, Stella cried by my closed bedroom door until I opened the door and then she crawled in bed with me. She did this at 9 months old. Stella is very social and loves to play with very small and large dogs. She knows when to be gentle, especially with old dogs. Yet, she can be regal and prance when she finds a stick! She is a joy!!
