Stella, originally known as Pepper, spent an amazing 11 years with her “Mumma”, and while saddened at her passing, everyone at BTRC is grateful to know Stella had so much love and happiness in her life.

“It’s been a month since I had to say goodbye to my ridiculous little sidekick and remembering all the of the adventures & laughs has been good for my soul. There’s so many it makes it impossible to pick only a few pics! Stella. Baby Lou. Babaganoush. Fiona. Goober. You’re enthusiasm for breakfast & excitement to “wanna go?” is so missed. Thanks for the 11yrs of being happy to just chill in the slow days of chemo, but then also to chase me down mountain bike trails, go on endless road trips & forcefully love all of your fav people. But most of all thanks for having almost as much sass as your Mumma!

You were very loved and are missed by so many. Goodnight Goober “
