They tried to revive her, but couldn't. Our hearts were broken.
Two weeks later there was a new fence covering 1/2 acre of our front yard. It won't happen again. It doesn't matter what breed or mix you have...always err on the side of caution and keep them leashed if not in a fenced in or safe area.
So to me, Stella is an AWESOME name!!  |
Oh my goodness!!! I'm so sorry about your Stella. We rent for now (crossing fingers to transfer jobs out of state and buy a house) and have no fence. My mom said I should just leave her on a tie out and let her get used to it

I said no right away! We live near a lake with people that fish who could take her, and geese she could chase, etc. She will be on a leash at all times. Right now I'm pad training until she's done with her last shot.
Again, I'm sorry about your Stella. That makes me so sad just reading it
However, I am very glad that you like the name I chose! I had so many I was tossing around and couldn't go to the vet calling her "baby puppy"! Lol! But of course I pick a name that is common with my last name!
