A Way With Animals

Stella has a gift. She is not afraid of any animals, only bugs. Recently, she got to spend some time at MawMaw and Paw Paw's house by herself. Paw Paw tells me that she grabbed on to Smooch's collar as soon as she got there and Smooch (who is a dog) did exactly what she said the whole visit. When she goes to sleep in her "big girl" bed, she wants either Anikan (one of the cats) or Daisy (the new dog) to sleep with her in her bed. She wants them near her, so that she can hold their hair and suck her thumb and go to sleep. On Wednesday, I took her to see some horses and she loved it. She went right up to this horse who stands 17 1/2 hands tall and stuck out her hand for the horse to smell. No fear whatsoever. It is amazing!
