CRAZY STELLA

I AM AN OUTLAW

2009-01-05T09:52:00.000-08:00

Hi !
Just wanted to let everyone know I have joined an outlaw gang--they are "The Pink Outlaws".
They do random acts of kindness and sometimes they let me tag along. They do their acts undercover and that works for me, as you know I use assumed identities all the time.
My Maltese cover is an ongoing work.
There is a family of rabbits living under one of our barns. As a German Shepherd I cannot get my big nose into their little hole, but my Maltese nose is a perfect fit. I know where they live because my friend the black lab, Ally showed them to me. She actually brought one to me in her soft lab mouth--unhurt, of course.
They are getting bigger and sometimes I think they do a good job of out running me. I sure do have alot of fun around my little farm. Soon it will be time for another adventure. I did chase the wild dog pack on to greener pastures, but there is a wild cat who likes to sleep on my pillow while I am away. I am plotting a scheme to rid myself of that nuisance!

Hi to all my pals!
I have been so busy running around with the "Outlaws". They sure are a busy bunch. Sometimes I think Zee might forget about her little Crazy Stella, but then she always comes through with a hug and a treat.
I would like everyone to check out their new web page: www.pinkoutlaw.com
It is up and running. What a great site it is. Those Pinkoutlaws are a mighty group. They are armed with a purpose and will not let anything stop them from getting their message out.
I am one proud pup to call them my friends and besides it is alot of fun riding the outlaw bike and leathers agree with me! I am sooo cute!

SUMMER VACATION

2008-07-09T10:11:00.001-07:00

I am taking off for the summer. Alot of new adventures are awaiting. I will be back in the fall with a truckload of stories.
Have a great summer. See you soon.

The daffodils have come and gone. I loved playing in the flower beds. They are soft and smell so good. Zee, chases me out, but I never listen. We have had alot of rain lately so the dirt is just right for digging. Did I mention I really like Zee's flower beds? Believe me it is worth the nasty looks she gives me. My little paws enjoy the wet, cool earth with all the neat rolly polly bugs . I do eat anything which is in my direct path....sometimes twice!

MY MAKE OVER

2008-04-04T13:11:00.000-07:00

Zee, decided I needed a professional make over. She took me to "All Breed Grooming and Boarding" in Mansfield. The owner "Tooter" is my special gal. I think I look even more beautiful after my make over, of course I am stunning even when my hair is a mess. You see I am a natural beauty, not like Zee. She has to work really hard at "looking" natural.
When one of my pals has a bad hair day, I say she has "gone to the people!" I think the saying "gone to the dogs" is a compliment. I am not snooty but being able to live the life of an adventurer gives me certain abilities and privileges. OK, maybe I am a bit snooty, but I am lovable...

BIKER BABE

2008-03-29T09:29:00.000-07:00

"WOW! Look at the chick on the back of that cool bike! She is awesome--the doggie chick that is, the bike it not bad either." I hear comments like that whenever I decide to go for a ride. I needed to get a bike for my next adventure. I have to go undercover as a biker babe in order to infiltrate a gang of nasty pups who are riding their choppers through local fields destroying the land as they go. I need to find out why they are being so destructive. What is behind the behavior. I think they are a break off group from the wild dog pack I have been working undercover with for some time. Seems like one thing leads to another. No biggie for Crazy Stella. I always get to the bottom of mysterious actions. I will keep you posted on my leads and let you know why these pups are so determined to make enemies. This mission may take awhile, the feel of the wind in my face and the power in my hands is so exhilarating besides I think I strike quite the pose...don't you?

SPA TIME

2008-03-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

Well, it happens to everyone...bath time. I am not really fond of the whole getting water in my eyes thing. I know some of my pals go to "doggie spas" to get pampered, brushed and facials..yes facials--blueberry for those of us with white fur. They say it makes them feel special and the blueberry makes their white fur glow. Zee, of course, feels she can do the job herself and save a few bucks! I bet if I let my inner dog (German Shepherd) come out, she would not have so much fun dunking me in the kitchen sink! I have to admit , reluctantly, I do feel better after my bath. I am always anxious to go outside and roll in something. I love the look on Zee's face...it is priceless.
Here is a picture of me at my "spa". Notice the hair dryer. Zee styles my perfect white fur, I allow this for about five minutes, then I am done with the whole process. A little spritz of my favorite pooch cologne and I am ready--"LET'S ROLL!!!!!"

RAINING CATS AND--UMMM NOT THIS DOG

2008-03-18T17:33:00.000-07:00

Well, it is raining cats and ooops--not dogs, or at least not this one. You see, I really got into trouble today. I love the mud. Zee let me go out onto the porch for a little R&R today as it seemed a safe place for me since it is really raining and my normal "play" area is wet and nasty (just the way I like it). So, Zee thought she was so smart(we have already covered the fact that this is just not the case) by putting a leash on me. As soon as she closed the door I jumped the porch and landed right in the middle of a yummy mud hole. Yep, you guessed it, the leash was a long one, just the length needed for this Olympic jumper!

When good old Zee checked on me and all she saw was the leash leading under the porch, my hide-out. Well, I gotta tell you I am now housebound. I see a short leash in my future. No biggie for me, I will just assume my real identity( the clever German Shepherd) and break that silly little leash.
I need to check on my next assigment soon. It will be a trip to McKinney, Texas. I am buying a new motor cycle, one invented for the canine rider. I am getting my leathers in order and a special "do-rag" for my fine locks as well as custom feeder to fit on the back. I'll keep you posted and send pictures as soon as the weather permits. Rev them engines--here I come!!!

PRETENDING

2008-02-27T10:05:00.000-08:00

There are days when I have to lay really low. Zee, is not as dumb as I first thought she was.
I cannot afford to have her blow my cover. The wild dog pack which I have successfully infiltrated, thinks I am a loner and have no one who really cares about me. They wonder why I hang out with Zee and ride in the back seat of her car. This is not the action of a renegade wild dog. They do not understand I have to play two roles. I cannot tell them or Zee the truth. I tell my wild dog buddies that I am using Zee for food and will sneak some to them when the occasion arises. So far, they are satisfied with this. Zee, on the other paw is more suspicious. So, I have decided to play "puppy" for a few days. You know I hate to turn on my wild dog outlaw buddies, but they kill other defenseless animals and wreak havoc on everything in their sight. I have tried to rehabilitate them, but they just smack me around and laugh at me. When they find out my true identity I will give them another chance to go straight before I give them a dose of the real Crazy Stella. Must go play now...pretend to be a puppy and laugh secretly at silly Zee..

2008-02-18T15:59:00.000-08:00

I am ready for my close up , Hollywood. I really like having my picture made, even though I am working undercover. I think my disguise is clever and very realistic. I do get tired of these short legs, not really good for running at warp speeds, but I do get momentum being so close to the ground. Good for hiding in tall weeds, too. I am working on a special project. There is a gang of dogs terrorizing the local farms. I am to infiltrate their hide-out and gain their confidence. Once accopmlished, I will morph into my real "super" self and reveal to those nasty critters who is boss. I am betting they have never seen a German Shepherd of my stature and certainly not of my magnificience. I will slap them around a little, not too much, just enough to get them scared. I cannot reveal at this time the main purpose behind my mission, but will tell you that they are loving my little alias, Stella. I am good--I tell you , I am the best...

Rattle That Box

2008-02-13T10:54:00.000-08:00

Well, I have finally trained Zee to do a trick. Whew! I was exhausted--she is one stubborn gal. Anyway, I love treats...big surprise--right?
Zee keeps a box of treats under her computer desk. She seems to stay at that computer forever lately. My walks and play time have been in short supply. Ummmm, I thought, what is a snack hungry German Shepherd alias Maltese ( actually I am undercover but more on that later) supposed to do.
I know she hates it when I "investigate" other rooms of the house. Rooms which are off limits to the likes of me. So, when she gets so involved in her own little world, I sneak into the forbidden rooms. She hates to leave her desk, so after getting up many, many times to check on my actions she has started rattling the treat box and lo and behold here I come a running..
Got ya!! It took awhile but she finally got a clue. Now, I hope she doesn't put doors on those prohibited rooms, but if she does I will think of something, after all I am Stella the Renegade Pup and I have a reputation to uphold..
