Poor Stella

Stella left her shirt alone the first day, but that didn’t last.

I added a cone the following day so she couldn’t get at her stitches.

Two weeks of torture are ahead for both of us.

We’ll get through this, but neither of us will be happy while we work through post-operation life.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Stella and her toys

Stella has favorite toys. Her preferences change from day to day, hour to hour.

Some toys I set aside so they seem new when I bring them out again.

Stella loves her squeaky bones. The bones carry the smell of bacon. They only last so long because she squeaks them so much.

Today her attention is on this green ball, though it doesn’t go into her crate. It’s not special enough.

Stella always wants that soft white pull in her crate when she sleeps at night.

Right now, she’s at my feet as I write. It’s time for a little puppy nap.

Working on my art

No use sitting inside on a beautiful day.

I brought out a minimum of my art supplies, enough to keep me busy.

Stella kept me company and enjoyed the nice day, too. She’s still a puppy in training.

I might haul out more supplies next time, but that only means I have to haul them back into the house again. That’s just adding work, when all I want to do is to enjoy the last rays of summer.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Barn-E the cat at the door

My cat and puppy were playing around an open door. This video shows how the cat was trying to connect with the dog.

This wasn’t a rough playtime. Instead, it was cute.

After tiring of their play, both found a corner to curl up and sleep.

Stella works for a treat.

A treat has Stella’s attention in this video.

She would have swallowed it in seconds if I just gave it to her.

This way it takes time and energy to get at the treat.

I’m actually surprised it took her a few minutes to get to her tasty food.

Stella is tenacious when it comes to getting treats.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
