She left me in SunshadeMOBILE while the STINKIES pawtied!!!!)

(mum: I'm sorry Sunshade...... but you know how you are around food and I really can't have you eating THREE cakes you know... because of your *ahem* weight issue... and it was their birthday....)

(Sunshade: Whatever! THREE cakes sound an awful lot better than being left in the car! HMMMMMMPH!)

(Stella: Please don't like fight ok Aunty Elaine and Aunty Sunshade. Princess Stella doesn't like loud noises you know what I mean??

Anyway, the cake was like very yummy. I liked the cream cheese icing so I eated that first.)

So I was like no way is Princess Stella going to eat from something that wobbles you know what I'm saying??? Princesses don't eat from wobbly tables!! (mum: Stella can still sometimes be startled by certain new objects, but she recovers fast.)

My dear dear Sunshade, even tho it's not your birthday quite just yet, I still have to say something because, well my world revolves around you. I know this hasn't been an easy year for you with the pups, but you have taught them so much. They love and look up to you. As always, I love you, and you continue to amaze me day after day with the little things you do, stunts you pull.)
