You might remember my good friend, Gertie. She has been one of my secret weapons in my quest to whip my new sissy, Stella, into shape.
There are 2 very important ways she contributes to my sanity. First, she is more than willing to spend extended periods of time wrasslin' with me. This is a great energy release for me, especially since I'm always being told to "be gentle" when I wrassle with little baby Stella.
The second, and probably most valuable way she helps me is by wearing Stella's butt out!! (This video was shot after they had already been running around this same tree at warp speed for 5 minutes straight).
After running Stella ragged, Gertie employs a campaign of indifference to Stella's pleas to play. (Stella can't STAND to be ignored).
No matter what Stella does or how hard she tries to entice Gertie to play, Gertie is immovable. (The stray beef bone she found in the yard helps her maintain her aire of indifference).
Eventually Stella gives up, and crashes in the house for a good long while.
THANK YOU, Gertie Girl! I am a saner dog because of you!
Goober love,
Stanley

Did I see you going to Stella's rescue in that second video, Stanley?
Geez, you deserve a medal for dealing with this all day long!
Love ya lots,
Maggie
Oh man Stella reminds me of Flash when he was little. You are lucky to have a great buddy like gertie to help you out
Stella is a bundle of energy!! I think you need to have friends over periodically to help you puppy-sit her.. Heheheh..
Stella is the energizer puppy, isn't she? Thank dogness for Gertie! Oh and Stanny, if I was visiting, I'd do exactly the same thing for you too. I'm sure I could tire the princess out!
Lots of Licks, Ruby
Stan....Does Gertie make house calls. Muzzer could use her when Teka gets on a tear. So could I! You give Gertie an extra wirey hug for me. That is hazardous duty!
Gertie looks like she has Stellas number!!!Tenacious isn't she( Stella)Man you must be exhausted!!! Love Archie

Well Stella,it is good to see a little clippage of our training in action. You did miss one thing darling,after you bark and bark in her ear and she turns her head ever so slightly because she thinks she is going deaf...WHAMMO...grab the bone. Try again sweetie, but a valiant effort. Keep practicing!! Love your favorite teacher,Agatha
We love seeing pics of Gertie or the Lucy look-a-like as we call her.
Glad she helped you get some sanity Stanley, even if it's just for a short while.
Noah, Willow, Tess and Lucy
Hi, Stan
Sure Gertie is a very good friend! Glad she is there to help you with Stella and her energy!
Have a good night

stan, you think Gertie could swing by my place and spend some time chasing tanner around a tree. Just for an hour or six?
Mom loved when you walked up in the video with your flamingo, she said, awwe.
You have a true friend in Gertie. Do you know if she'd travel to England to help me out at all?
Toodle pip,

Wow, Stella sure can run FAST! She's a speedster aka Rocket launcher! Hehehehe!!!
Love licks,

Stella is really super duper hyper! Seems like she's always on sugar overload. hehe..
That Gertie could make a living at helping out with manic puppies. Lucky you have her close enough to take some heat off you once in awhile.
Oh wow.. we're officially tired and heading to the couch just for watching! We honor Gertie for helping you out.. And Stella for her energy.. She is rather cute, after all!
The WriggleButts
Stanny, That first vid is hysterical. It's looks like they both want to drop by neither is willing to give up first. I also love you with your flamingo. Very nice touch!
I'm working on my mom for NY, but she keeps saying she's like you and sometimes she needs to play with friends her own size, which makes no sense since Asta is no where near her size. We'll see. I think I'd be fabulous strolling through Central Park at Christmas.
Oh, and my snout is your snout, baby.

BOL, I love in the second video, Stella's time-out to chase her tail!
Cute cute, you better keep Gertie around, she looks like great back-up!
Wow, that's energy like I've never seen... Stella girl, you're a firecracker!
That's awfully cool of Gertie to help out in the tucker-out-a-terrier campaign ;)
Love,
Bogart
Hi Stanley!
I think you need to give Gertie a new award..like the good neighbor/mental health social worker award....seems to me you might be instutionalized w/o her help...or you could always have Stella instutionalized...just a thought...
Love the video where Stella stops to bite her tail since its wagging so darn fast! AH HA! sooo cute!
Keep up the good work getting Stella trained...but seems to me you'll have this job for a long long long time!
Love & Licks,
Randi
ps..is there still grass growing where Gertie & Stella ran around the tree like crazies?
All that running is making me feel tired. I don't think I could stand the pace! J x
Dang, Stella has the cutest little goober butt ever. Guess after my last post you must think I've got a backside fixation. I do not (at least not any more than other pugs...).
Stan, I could never be a grump around you though. You bring sunshine and aire-joy into my life!
Yep...that's what it's like, Stan. All day, all night....constant motion......You are soooo lucky...is Gertie rentable????
Scruffy
Hi Stanley,
Gertie is a miracle worker for you. She totally keeps Stella out of your hair and gets her nice and tired! And, she is a CUTIE!! He he he!
Your pal,
Kirby
Oh Stan,
Gertie is such a great friend. Whatever you do, don't lose her!
It looks as though Stella is having a lot of fun at her new forever home. She seems to have adapted beautifully. How 'bout you, Stan? How ya doin' under the strain of having a baby sister who appears to he hyper?
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Hey wish we lived close - the whippet young 'uns could help with the Stellergizer Bunny.. They can run and run and run play dinosaur mouths forever. Hmmmm. Come to think of it, maybe your next package in the mail will contain Swede William and Lindy Loo!

hi stanley....love the videos....i think you need to keep ms. gertie around to help "double team" the little stella gurlie! and she looses some of that vinegar!! she's a riot... sort of an ever-ready doggie...she just keeps going and going and going!
ms. persephone...oh and the BUSTER too!
Wow! that's a pretty good chase game they had going. we're glad that they change directions. that little Stella is full of terrier energy. you are very lucky, Stan, to have Gertie to help you out with the tyke. let us know if you want Brody to take a run with her. he's pretty good at running Benson ragged.
woofers!
Gertie's a KEEPER - She'll get the STELLANATOR trained and trained RIGHT....
Did we see Stella smelling her OWN butt on camera ???
XXXoooXXX
I need a Gertie Girl around here for that new cousin of mine.... What an invaluable resource!
DoG bless that Gertie, huh? She's a true friend.
That Stella is a spunky little thing. You need to practice the Art of Grumping, Stan. I can teach you.
Sherman
Gertie's Rule!!
Love Molly and our very own Gertie!
