Stella is home!

Stella is home and we are tired! We picked up Stella on Friday after work in Hearne, Texas (about 2.5 hours from Austin). We got home late, but did our best to acclimate her to her new home - outside, her crate, downstairs. The night was even longer as she made it through 2.5 hours at a time in her crate. John and I took turns letting her out and laying with her as she would fall asleep. I read about this in my Puppies for Dummies Book (yes, yes I am serious), but I am not exactly sure I am up for this continued routine!

Saturday morning started with a trip to our vet, whom we love. As par my usual, I came equipped with my trusty notebook of questions for him to answer and patiently he answered every single one of them. A few shots and we were out of there and onto our favorite dog boutique - Dog-a-dilo - for a new collar. The weather in Austin on Saturday was perfect (75 - sunny and not a cloud in the sky) so we spent most of the day outside watching her run around and play. John did very well on running her down because (and ever so conveniently) she would sleep during the football games and only want to go out at half time and end of the game. Hmmm ... I wonder how he did that!?

Here is a video of Stella playing catch with John as well as a very pictures from our journey thus far. Enjoy!
