Stella, along with all collies really, is a weird dog and she seems to focus on people in a weird way that causes some to feel uncomfortable so as you can imagine she was destined to be a quirky dog. She just adds a little extra to all she does is all!
Before I can even remember I have wanted a collie. I started asking when I was around 3 years old from what my mom and dad have told me, all because of Lassie. They finally got me my first girl, Lady when I was 8 years old and we had 12.5 of the most amazing years with her. She saved my life on a number of occasions as well. It devastated my family when we had to put her down due to old age and it took me almost 5 years to be able to even think about having another one. That is where Stella made her entrance into our life.
Stella is a quirky little dog but boy I wouldn't trade her for the world she sure does make life interesting and fun when she is not making it hectic! She is getting much better as she matures thankfully now that she is nearing 9 months old. One thing I know and love is that she would not hesitate to lay her life down for us as is the case with most dogs but with her, her entire life revolves around us. When we are home she is so excited she cannot contain it. She bounces straight up to eye level making sure we see her there. She gives us repeated kisses and circles us with her constant bark/whine/whimpering that is her extremely excited sound and she is never far from us ever. Her favorite place to lay and sleep is the foot rest because we both have our feet on it and she can touch us both while watching TV. She is most happy when she can lay at the foot of the bed and be touching both of us as well.
There is just something about Stella in particular that really makes her drive one insane and love her at the same time and that is completely why we love her and what makes her so special to us! Call us crazy if you must but we wouldn't trade her for the world!
