Introducing - STELLA!!!

Hi Everyone! Here is our STELLA!! Long story short - or not so much - Misty Matthews - single Mom of 3 girls bought one little Yorkie and LOVED her! Loved her so much she decided to get another one - LOVED her too - but the dogs did NOT love eachother! LOTS of fighting - which even resulted in some blood! Loving Marley as much as they did - they wanted to find her a good home - where she would be safe and loved! Misty is my Visiting Teacher and she saw how much I loved Shiloh.....and said she wished we wanted another dog - I explained that we DID want another dog and that we had gone to the pound several times! Well........she asked if we would be interested in "Marley" - and I said YES! Marley is a purebred Yorkie - REGISTERED and everything! Anyway - we had a playdate to see how she and Shiloh would do together - and they did GREAT! Shiloh LOVES playing with her and they are HILARIOUS together. Last Sunday - they delivered her to us. It was such a HARD thing for Misty and her girls - they were SO sad to have Marley leave their family, but they were really happy to find her a home where she would be loved and not fight with her friend! It's been a week now and she has just fit right in! She and Shiloh are ALWAYS together! She is a BUGABOO and Shiloh is PATIENT......(she is not a year old yet.....still that puppy stage). She came to us with all her papers, she is fixed and has all her shots! Oh - and she is HOUSETRAINED!!! Seriously..........it's like we won the puppy lottery!!! (they are playing at my feet as I am typing this!) Yep - some may think we are crazy for getting another dog, but for us - life is better having a dog....it just is! Some are animal lovers - some are not - we DEFINITELY ARE!!! Now - you wonder how we came up with Stella.....Well, Misty's other dog was named Bella - which Cassie LOVED - she wanted to name our Stella Bella - but I said No.....their dog is bella - and we talked about Stella and Shiloh being a pair......so I came up with Bella with an "S"......so we came up with Stella! Why not just keep her name as Marley.......because that was her name with her first family - we wanted to have her be a part of OUR family......so she needed a name that WE picked for here! Her Full name is............Stella Marley Matthews Lynn! SHE'S A CUTIE!!!!

Congratulations!
Stella is a cute name, it goes great with Shilo.
I love pets to have a "friend" around to play with, they just seem much happier to me. In fact, that's why we got two kitties together and I'm really glad we did, cause when I'm not into giving them attention, they entertain each other.
Stella is darling, and it sounds like you scored.
Hope she has many healthy and happy years with you.
