Stella Knut is possibly the funniest dog you will ever encounter. Like any proud owner, I boast that she is the cutest dog that ever existed. My opinion that she is the cutest is really just an opinion. However, the fact that she is the funniest dog is absolute truth. She is terrified of other human beings (especially Ron) and most other dogs. When afraid, she hides behind me and literally pee's herself. I usually laugh when this occurs...until I realize that it's my responsibility to clean up the mess. To compensate for her fright, she often terrorizes smaller animals. Squirrels and lizards are her favorite victims to chase. Based on an experience with an empty soda can rolling down the street, I guarantee that if a lizard or squirrel turned around and chased Stella instead, I'd have to invest in a lot more paper towels.
She is 1/2 poodle, 1/2 cocker spaniel and 100% cockapoo. She is named in honor of Tennessee Williams' A Street Car Named Desire. I thought it would be hillarious (and it is) to yell "Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" to a dog. Her middle name "Knut" comes from the popular, German polar bear. I still don't have the right pronunciation, so I change it depending on my mood. She is NOT a fru fru dog. I do not carry her in my purse and I do not dress her in clothes (unless it's cold or I want a good laugh). While pink is one of my favorite colors, it never shows up on Stella.
Despite her sometimes hilarious downfalls, she lives up to her marketing promise of being my best friend. She is full of love and playfulness, but is sometimes afraid to show it. She makes me laugh and reminds me of what is important in life. She is a lot like myself (though at 24 years old, I'd like to think I handle my fright in different ways).
Not motivated by food, incredibly spoiled, and often peed-on...I present to you Stella Knut.
