{ FOR THE
OF PETS }
I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!
BILL, SUSAN AND THEIR GOLDENDOODLE, TEDDY
STORY BY JOSEPH SIRIOTIS * PHOTOS BY ROB WILKERSON
Many of us have been asked the question, " When are
you going to grow up? " That's not a question that Bill and
Susan Stella plan on asking their curly-haired goldendoodle,
Teddy, anytime soon.
" He never gets old, " Susan said. " He's the same dog. "
Bill and Susan, originally of Rockport, Massachusetts,
have been avid dog lovers throughout their lives. Their love
for their pets would go as far as treating them like their own
children, unable to part with them for extended
amounts of time. Wherever there was an
adventure to be had, their dogs would be
right beside them experiencing every
step of the journey.
" I dropped the kids off at school, "
Susan said. " Then I'd hit the road to
try and find inventory, and the dogs
came with me. "
Even though they were no strangers to owning a canine
companion, Teddy was still a change to Bill and Susan's
usual breed of choice.
" When we were first married, we had a basset hound, "
Susan said. " Then we had springer spaniels for the next
40 years. "
THEY'RE VERY
LOVEABLE
DOGS. THEY
WANT TO
BE WITH YOU
ALL THE TIME.
