The Humans tell me that Stella made it through her surgery well with no complications. She can’t come home until tomorrow, though.
Tomorrow is a super long time away.
Human Daddy gave me a chunk of baguette to console me. Usually, I gobble it up. Sometimes, I even steal Stella’s portion.
Not tonight. I left a chunk for my girl, for when she comes home.
I love my Stella more than bread.

Puppy Eyes work great for some things, like convincing your Humans you deserve a game of Frisbee or speeding up the delivery of your dinner.
You know what Puppy Eyes can’t do? Puppy Eyes can’t fix Stella’s knee and they can’t speed up her return from orthopaedic surgery.
We will be apart until Friday.
We’ve never been apart more than a couple hours, not ever, since we first met.
It was love at first sniff.
I love Stella with all my heart.
Dear Readers, please send positive energy for her surgery and speedy recovery. We love you all so much.
I miss my Girl so very, very much.
Woofs and Wags,

Sometimes, your best Meowie friend may something hurtful like “I need my space” or “Get out of my face, Woofie.” Don’t listen to her and, above all, don’t take her words personally.
She probably just has a hairball.

Thank you all so much for your good wishes! I have a luxating patella caused by my heroic charge into the front fence to defend my yard against an interloper. The Humans have told me that I will be going to a third vet next Wednesday for a surgical consultation. After that, I will have knee surgery to become a bionic Dog.
For all our Dog and Meowy followers, think very carefully about heroism. You don’t always get a medal. Sometimes, all you get is a visit to three–count them, three!–vets for your trouble.
Woofs and Wags, Stella
You know what’s bummier than a bum knee? Going to two vets in two days time to get their individual opinions regarding the level of bumminess of your bum knee.
You know what’s bummiest of all? The waiting, paws down, the waiting.

Did you dislocate your right knee by running into your front fence when attempting to scare off an unknown Dog who was marking the hill below your fence as if he didn’t understand property law?
Ouch… That really hurt.
Let your Humans figure out the finances of knee surgery.
You just need to milk it.
–Stella
Did you think you could participate in the Meowies’ Friday Night Catnip-fueled celebration because you are much bigger than the Meowies and therefore should have a much higher capacity for the ‘nip?
That was a mistake.
There are not enough hairs on your whole body to make up for last night’s miscalculation.

Thank Dog It’s Friday! Welcome home, Human Mommy! We see you carrying a box full of beer, wine, and chips.
Where are our bully sticks, our pig ears, and our marrow bones?
–Cosmo and Stella
This may not look comfortable but it is. I swear it is, for the both of us, honest.
