Faith and her new momma, Barb Fails, on their adoption day. They live in Michigan.

I shed many tears when this baby left. She had a rough start in life and had been my pick of the litter. As things go, she had shorts toes on her front feet. In reality, it could not have turned out any better though, as she could not have gone to a nicer family. They love her and can give her so much more than she could have ever dreamed. She has all she needs now.

Faith has been renamed Stella, in honor of her "STAR" qualities.

(I still love you and miss you dear Stella, love gramma Pat)

She likes to take long walks, go camping, sailing, playing with her human cousins and stuffed toys.

This photo was sent to me by Barb. It is from a vacation in September of 2001. Location is out at Lake Michigan on the beach. Her big brother Rudy, an English Springer Spaniel, allows her to tag along. (Although secretly, he probably still wonders why they didn't get him another toy instead of a horrid little sister?)
