The day Stella showed up here starving and in desperate need of a drink of water. We found her in the pasture trying to get a drink from the cattle tub.
I could see the "adoption" happening while I was on a conference call. The nearest "town" is nearly 20 miles away, son some ******* dumped her somewhere out here and we happened to be the ones she chose.
She's an awesome dog and a bird killing machine. She's bought 7 birds in the house as a prize for us. She loves my oldest son and is currently sleeping on my wife's recliner while she's crocheting. It's funny how strays appreciate you. Much like one my father in law took in Stella keeps ranch security in check!
