onrushpam Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Some of the old timers on here will remember the one litter we bred from our awesome lure coursing dog, Amy... Stella is the 2nd of the Amy puppies to leave us. She was the smallest of the litter and was born with a stubbed tail and fused vertebrae. She was SUCH a character! We christened her Stubby. When she went to live with our good friends, John and Laura Parker, Laura wanted a different name and they called her Stella. To us, she will forever be known as Stella-Stubby. Or, DH always called her Stubs! Despite her little stubby, fused tail, she turned out to be an awesome lure courser and the comedienne of the Parker pack. She lived every day to the fullest, chomping on her pack mates and staying out in the pasture until the 97th call of "STELLA!!" brought her in. She loved to sleep under the stars and would drag her dog bed through the dog door for ultimate comfort. Just a day or two before she died, she drug a brand new Costco dog bed out into the yard and played tug-o-war with it and her puppy housemate, Dublin. After 8 years away from us, she never failed to recognize us, especially DH, when we went to visit. He'd say, "Stubbs!" and she'd fold herself in half wagging at the sound of his voice. The Rainbow Bridge has a new party queen! She and her sweet brother, Colonel, are reunited and she's encouraging him to help her shake things up! Here's Stella-Stubby's GH data page: http://greyhound-data.com/d?i=1076231 Quote Pam GPA-Tallahassee/Southeastern Greyhound Adoption "Fate is unalterable only in the sense that given a cause, a certain result must follow, but no cause is inevitable in itself, and man can shape his world if he does not resign himself to ignorance."
