Goobette Gotcha Day

One year ago today, my hooman girl winged her way down to Orlando, Florida to pick up this:

It all started when my girl fell in LOVE with Lacie when she & Scruffy started their blog. My girl is pretty committed to adopting rescue dogs, and never thought she'd see a female Lakeland Terrier she could adopt to be my sissy, until Stella and her four brothers were discovered at a hog farm in central Florida that doubled as a puppy mill. They were in pretty bad shape when Florida Terrier Rescue picked them up, but all of them recovered well after getting some good medical treatment. When my girl saw Stella described as "bratty" she thought that might just be the sissy for me.

GooberStan has NEVER been the same since! Here's my sissy, Stella, Goobette ExtraordinAire, today (photo taken just moments ago).







We started our celebration this morning with some serious stick work in the back yard.

After some lively stick maneuvers, we waited patiently for the presentation of the ceremonial nanner (banana).

Knowing this was a solemn occasion, Stella was abnormally subdued...

... until she got her second bite. She couldn't hold back on that one!

After the initial excitement settled in, Merv said it was time for Stella's official portrait with our hoogirl. She rarely shows her face on our blog, but she's exceptionally vain about her hair. (That's why it features so prominently in the official portraits.) Merv couldn't decide between this one...

... and this one.

Now, everybody say "Awwwwww."

Stella was also surprised by some early cards of congratulations she received from our Frenchie bud, Balboa,

and from my Sweetpea, Asta!

You guys are all such good friends to Stella, and we LOVE YOU for it!

My girl, Merv, and I are so stinkin' happy to have Stella in our lives. She has definitely spiced things up here in GooberStan, and we can't imagine life without her.

The pawty's just getting started,

Stanley
