I just wanted to give a quick report on Stella. Refer to this post if you want the beginning of the story.

Things are going splendidly. Somewhere around the beginning of January she really settled in and became a part of the family. Stella and Stuart worked out their differences and now seem to love each other. They even play together, which is something Stuart and Kramer never did.

There are still a couple of problems, such as aggressiveness toward other dogs when we're on walks. I have been shamed on the street many times by my crazy barking girl. We're working on it.

I'll admit to being rather infatuated with her right now, which feels good after having some bonding issues earlier on. It bothers me to think how very close I came to giving up on her. She's turned out to be a lovely little girl.
