Stella

I'd better write about our foster Stella before she goes to her forever home. Little Stella arrived in Washington last Wednesday, thanks to the help of an Alaska Airlines volunteer who flew out to Southern California on her day off and carried Miss Stella to Washington.

After a day of getting Stella settled in she had to go to her visit with the vet for a dental on Thursday. The poor little girl had to have 12 teeth pulled which brings her missing teeth to a total of 15 - over 1/3 of her teeth! She bounced right back though and I'm sure that she's feeling much better now that the abcesses and rotten teeth are all cleaned out.

So Friday I had to work all day long to get ready for the Pet Market's "Back to Drool" sale on Saturday. Stella came to work with me and guess what - she found her family that day! The daughter had come in to get food for her dogs and met Stella. She had been trying to talk her parents into adopting a dog after they lost their last dog, Pepper. She brought her parents back to meet Stella and of course they loved her. Who wouldn't?

Her new family only lives about a mile from our house so we will get to visit her on occasion, which is nice. Plus, maybe we'll get to see her at the store on occasion as well. The home visit was done today and everything looked great so she should be heading to her forever home in the next few days.
