Stella

Boxer

12”x 16” acrylic on canvas

Stella is one silly and unique girl! This sweet boxer is goofy, cuddly, and always smiling, even despite her medical struggles. Stella has undergone multiple surgeries to remove invasive/cancerous growths (I even doggy-sat for her during one of her unfortunate coned recoveries) but has a wonderful family taking care of her. One of Stella’s unique pleasures in life is sitting or “docking” her body on the feet of anyone sitting in the living room. She loves to be right next to her people, and will prop her whole body weight on your feet for hours if you let her! Stella also loves walks, the beach, digging in the sand, playing ball, and scratching her back on the floor like a wiggly worm. She is 12 years old, but young at heart, and a very loved member of my extended Peters family :)
