One of Stella's good friends named Pallina urgently needs an operation to remove a tumour and the family cannot afford to pay for it so they have created a donation fund to help pay for operation and treatment.
Just think of all the times that your pet gave you joy and think of how it must feel to put a much loved pet down when there is nothing you can do to help. All they need is a little help so find it in your heart to give as little as $1 and you will have helped the family a little bit closer to operating their doggy.
Please donate and share

Yesterday while Stella went to the vet for her monthly blood letting session, she heard the vet's dog, Dylan snooring as he rested under the desk. She was happy to hear a furry friend was in the room next room.

I was trying to write more of the Stella and the Three Peaks book and Stella started to bark. I gave her a treat but that didn't last too long. When she finished her treat, she barked again. She looked at me with a face that said "play with me!". 

Stella went to visit the local hardware store with her family. The pack leader needed a particular piece to fix one of the comfortable chairs in the lounge. Stella was happy to be out with the family and since she couldn't walk much due to her heart condition, she was happy to be pushed around in the shopping trolly. The puppies took turns pushing Stella and as soon as she lost sight of the pack leader, she started to cry.

Stella went to see her vet, Francesca, this morning and she had a blood-letting session. Francesca's dog Dylan was also there this morning and the two furry friends said hello.
You can see the bandaids the vet put on her after the blood-letting. She was really good during the visit. 

She is now full of energy and ready for the next trip in the moving house.

Stella enjoyed a weekend away as she went with her family in the big moving house to see the One Direction concert in Verona, Italy. Unfortunately, the puppies didn't find tickets so they sat in the square with the rest of the Italian fans and listened to the concert from the gates.

Stella loved to watch the puppies and their friends run after the group in the hopes of getting the band's attention. She wanted to run with them too but her master held her leash tight so she had to watch the crowd of puppies from a distance.

Stella really enjoyed Verona. She had dinner in a Mexican restaurant, she went for a ride on the public transport and then was caught in the rain as she watched the puppies run around looking for tickets for the concert.

Today is a Labour Day in Rome, Italy. The sky was cloudy and the temperature warm (18 degrees circa). Stella stayed indoors today. Her master trimmed her fur and now she looks thinner. She ran around the house stealing tissues and socks to get extra biscuits. Now she is relaxing on the living room floor with the younger puppy as they listen to Justin Bieber. She is sitting with her front legs stretched out - she looks like an egyptian sphinx! 

It was a sunny and hot day in Rome today. So Stella decided to visit the moving house at the parking campsite this morning. She ran in and out of the camper inspecting every corner to make sure that everything was in order. Once she was sure that the camper was ready for the next trip, she sat back and enjoyed some of the sunny rays before heading back to the house for a restful afternoon.
