On Decem­ber 11^th 2012, the Borderview team had a surpris­ing discov­ery of two puppies tied to the back door of the clinic. One pup was male, the other female, and they were esti­mated to be about 5 months of age. To the aston­ish­ment of BVH staff, these pups were extremely charm­ing, friendly and sweet, and it didn’t take long for the two of them to find their forever homes. It was love at first sight between our Recep­tion­ist Sesellee and the female puppy Stella, and the rest is history. Stella is truly a one in a million dog. She loves every person that she meets, and is good with most dogs (although she can be a bit bossy!). Stella is a very ​“busy” dog, and her mom works hard to keep her active. Stella LOVES walks, and has partic­i­pated in Agility, Rally Obedi­ence, Tricks classes, Cani­cross and Bike-Joring. She likes to do things her way, and can be a chal­lenge to moti­vate unless food is involved! She is very inde­pen­dent, but does enjoy a good cuddle now and then (on her terms). In 2015 Stella was diag­nosed with chronic bladder inflam­ma­tion. This condi­tion is managed by diet and monthly injec­tions, and has not slowed this saucy dog down one bit! She is happi­est when she is bossing her house­mates around at home and being treated like a princess by her dad.
