Still Nameless
But, oh, we do love her. Best dog ever. So sweet-natured and intelligent. She's already learned how to shake hands. She always wants to sit in a lap. This lap-sitting might be a problem when she's fully grown, though. Stella is doing great, although she seems to have decided to live the rest of her life on high ground. Where the puppy isn't.
The Newest McMillan
We picked her up this morning. She's the sister of this puppy; their mother was a black lab and their daddy was a german shepherd, both friendly and social family dogs. The puppies were being placed through a local rescue society.
Our little girl was the most outgoing, smartest puppy in the bunch, so she was the obvious pick. She's very shepherd-y, and smart as they come. Only 4-months old and she was retrieving the tennis ball and dropping it right in our hands. We've been playing all morning, and she's pooked out in her crate right now. No name yet, but we're thinking about June (as in Carter Cash), Esther, Luca, Penny, Lupi, and we're open for suggestions.
In fact, Murray's got a post on Woodforums asking for suggestions for good shop-dog names. The woodworking guys have suggested Bessey, Shop-dog, Jet, Dusty, Kerf and Unidog. Any other ideas?
Our Furry Soft Sharp Thing
Stella (Alpha Bella) McMillan, aka, Little Cat, Big Girl, Stelly, Stelbow, and, when Murray is feeling particularly funny, Dawg.

Cat Report
The cat has not left my shoulder in three days. I'm getting no work done.
Studying
It's hard enough to read all this 20th century art criticism without Stella sprawling out on my book.
