Stella is giving her "V" for victory sign here because our girl is FINALLY on a roll with her thesis! She has 2 chapters done with the third in the hopper (and only 3 more after that).
As you can see, I've been busy keeping our girl on track.
That means that Stella has had to pick up the slack and handle the squirrel patrol on her own these past few weeks.
I have to say that writing a thesis is B-O-R-I-N-G! I had to find things to keep me busy while keeping an eye on my girl.
Not to mention the fact that I also was in charge of providing activities to wake her up whenever she took a break from her writing.
This face was more than enough to wake her up.
Stella was getting a little fed up with all of the work she had to do while I was busy keeping our girl on track. Everytime I tried to explain the valuable service I was providing she just told me to talk to the paw!
I also saw it as my duty to interject some silliness into the mix... you know... to keep my girl's spirits up. The next 3 photos were taken by my girl while wrasslin' with me on the floor. Most of the time she was upside down under my paw.
Since she's been working so hard (and because I'm an amazing big brother), here is a photo essay of Stella "pretending" to be the Stellanator (she still has no idea that she already IS the Stellanator) and showing her Jaws of Death. (Imagine scary music here).
By the way, Stella and I both started obedience classes 2 weeks ago. (HO-HUM). Stella's in the puppy class and has a little Boxer girlie and a Cassanova-wanna-be Shitzu named Junior as her classmates. (Junior LOVES Stella, but she's already pinned him to the floor several times and told him that she's taken. That only seems to inflame his love of her even more). There are 9 dogs altogether in my class.
Here we are sharing secrets about how to wrangle extra treats out of our girl (and other hoomans at class) without having to do any work.
This is Stella's favorite tactic for extra treat extraction from unsuspecting hoomans... She thinks her cuteness and convenient lack of attention to personal space will get her what she wants.
Thanks for all of the encouragement and kicks in the butt for my girl! Keep it coming!
Love,
Stanley & Stella

We are SO STINKIN' HAPPY that Baby is back home where she belongs!

Wow Stanley - and Stella too. We're so very happy to see you're such great study buddies too! Mom is going back to school this fall so we'll be full time students again! We love to help ;)
Wet kisses,

We are totally cracking up at Stella's talk to the paw picture! What a character she is!
We weren't under the impression that you needed obedience class, Stanley! You seem like a gentleman to us just the way you are!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
I am so glad that you are back. Stella dun look too happy. Poor girl. Are you still on strike? Will you need your girl to write another chapter before you write another blog entry? I hope not...heee...
Luv,
Snowball
Thanks for the update, Stanley! We were definitely having Goober withdrawal. That look on your face in some of those pictures should make ANYBODY write a thesis. Love the talk to the paw shot!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy & Penny
STAAAAAAANLEY! Finally, some word from the trenches. I'm so happy your girl got those chapters done. It's a tough slog, but worth every second. (Blah blah blah .....My mom made me type that .... I'm with you. Thesis writing is booooooring!)
It is so great to see you and Stella. I can't wait until you're back for good.

Oh my Stanny...
That's great news!!! And I bet it is all because of you!! You are a strong by sensitive task master and I'm sure your girl appreciated it! And they way you multi-task...dealing with the Stellanator on top of it all...I just don't know how you did it!
You are my hero!!! Lots of Loving Licks, your Ruby Bug
It is good to see you and Stella again....I am proud of you. You are so good for your girl. I hope she knows how lucky she is....
Kisses, Faya
Oh, that's great news but still a loooong way to go with the thesis thingy!
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
Write, human, WRITE!! Our servant is HOPELESS. She is somewhere around 70,000 useless words into her useless novel, which is as useless as no words if she doesn't finish it, already.
We are totally proud of your girl!
wags from the whippets
Your back! Your back! OMG! We are SO stinkin' happy to see your faces plastered on that blog again! We were having some MAJOR withdrawls! Your back! Your back! OMG! SO happy! Give your Momma a HUGE kiss on the lips for me-nice a juicy, just the way she likes it!
Love, Herc
Dear Stanley and Stella:
Muzzer has asked me to write to enquire about your TMS (Thesis Motivation Service.) When you have finished this assignment, she would like to hire the two of you to work on my Sissy, E.Rabbit. Can you please respond with rates and anticipated available dates.

Hey Stanny! So glad you're back and better than ever! I've missed you and your Goober smooches so.

Yay! We missed you! Love, Martha
You guys are so funny!!! I loved to see all the pictures. Poor girl, to write a thesis is very strenuous - my maid tells me a lot of time she found herself waking up with her head fallen on the desk and couldn't even remember who she was, hahahahahahaha.
Just give her that "look" from the last post, that is a good one! Good thing you have each other!
Karl

We are so glad you are back with us again after all your duties of keeping a close eye on your hooman.

I missed you soooooooooooooooo much. When I saw that first photo of you I came over all weak at the knees, your tummy is just so gorgeous. How I wish I lived nearer to you, sigh.
Your ever loving Taffy.xxxxxxxxxxx
I can't pick out which picture made mama laugh more - the V for Victory or the Stellinator series...
Good work keeping mom on track. We need ya back Stan!

Oh my oh my, my mum hasn't even got a valid excuse like a masters thesis. She's just a plain disappointment to me. Thank you for sending messages to check if I was still alive. And big sorry I haven't been around in months.
Your upside-down photos had us howling with laughter. Such a familiar sight to my mum as I stand on her hair and deftly remove her glasses.
big hugs to all of you

Stella is such a cutie! You are so lucky to have a cute lil' sissy, Stan! (ok, but I gotto admit her teefies look kinda scary...)
You two are so cute!!!!! You sure have a tough job keeping your mom on track, but if anyone can do it.... its gonna be the two of you.
WOW, Stella's teeth made me shiver from fright.

Dear S & S,
Those photos were great-- upside down, inside-out, right side up, left side down, whatever. They were great!!!
Is Stella really that tough? My grandpa had a sister Stella. She was tough, too, and also a real sweetie. Just like you, Stella!
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
