Stella would be so happy living in the country, a place where she could run through lush grass to her heart’s content. She would chew sticks in the shade with her snaggletooth.

She would watch koi fish in the pond and occasionally paw at them or take a drink.

She would leave the cutest little paw prints after running around in the sprinklers, trying to bite at streams of water.

She would sniff at the sweet, flowery air from her lookout above the stream.

She would stare into the house with her happy smile, wet nose, and floppy tongue.

She would jump high, high, high into the sky! She would be a very happy pup.

But she would miss her friends. And the dog park. Her window perch. The daily new smells. Maybe she is just a happy girl who makes the most of every situation (except the car…and bath). I want to be more like Stella!
