Shawn's mom's dog, Cleo, is some sort of whippet cross so she loves to run. She would do these leisurely laps around the park and Stella would be running full-tilt trying to keep up. It was pretty humourous.
Cleo waited until Stella caught up to her and then took off These pictures are a bit too small to tell, but I tried to capture the adorable floppiness of Stella's ears when she runs. Also, the skin roll - she hasn't fully grown into her skin so she's got this extra skin flap that rolls forward and back when she runs quickly.

Stella's angry face
nose to the ground in true beagle fashion
Cleo is really patient but she does have her limits; when Stella pushes her too far, Cleo pins her to the ground and reminds her who's in charge
the park was huge but Stella just want to play in the one mud puddle she could find
Reading your blog gets me so excited to get a dachshund.
ReplyDeleteaw they are just so cute. looks like a lovely afternoon.
ReplyDeletehow big is stella? 16 pounds or so? i pictured her much smaller, but i think i've underestimated her size.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic pictures! Stella looks like she enjoyed herself.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteAll of our off leash parks aren't fenced in so we can't take the boys, but it looks like you guys had a great time!
Stella is adorable!! Have I said that one too many times? Well she is!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun-filled day at the park with super cute puppies! =)
ReplyDeleteWe think our SoMi has either a little Whippet or a little Greyhound in her. Either way, she's a runner, too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun is that?? I love the photo of Cleo giving Stella the business.
