I’ve never known a little dog who loved water more than Stella. We can’t walk her past a pond—or a puddle—without her jumping in it and splashing around. That makes it both easier and harder to keep her clean, depending on the depth of the water.
She also loves to run. She’ll chase the four-wheeler around a pasture and then jump straight into the pond to cool down. I’ve clocked her running at almost 30 miles per hour. Not bad for a bitty dog.
