SHOP DOG
Stella Blue Best Friend Pups I, Stella Blue, am a Humboldt pup. My dad taught me how to live and grow clean medicine using the DANK method (I helped dad come up with that name!). I’m a regal cross between a Pitbull and Great Dane and have gracefully owned my size and title as Farm Dog. There’s no pond muddy enough, no hill too steep to stride, and no truck too big I cannot stop. At 12 years old, it has been a privilege to earn my green paws and, three years into retirement, I have a willing student who has risen to her duty—my little sister Lucci. Summertime reminds me of the good ‘ol Cali days, so you know I love to get my tan on, and at my tender age I have perfected the sun to shade ratio for that perfect Stella tan. When I am not keeping up with my sunning or my beauty sleep, I am hard at work showing ‘Lu’ the ropes. It is important as a farm dog to ensure all deer, coyotes, and any other critters know that Boss Pups live here (so beware!). Perimeter checks are a must. Once all is marked, we love to greet all our uncles. Starting the day with a good greeting gets us all in the mood for work. Then it is off to the medicine fields—they are sniffed and weeded where needed. Grass is tastiest at the hemp field, and choosing a lifestyle of balance, a grass roll is in order, add some dust, and we have the makings of a relaxing time. Lu and I love vegetables and, like everything on the farm, they are grown using living soil—regeneratively. Everything looks colorful, happy, and alive; Lucci loves the lawn surrounded by gardens and likes to roll around here. Every day we pick some veggies to feed our chicken friends. They like tomatoes, cucumber, squash, and vates kale. We have seen them lose their chicken minds over night crawlers; in those times I like surprising them with sudden movements, only to keep them on their feet. After my busy days, I enjoy my dinner with my favorite BBQ chicken and CBD grown by my dad at Best Friend Farms. It has helped me so much. Being my age, getting up takes a little longer than it used to, but with CBD each night I move easier when I wake up.

date with my health have never been more important. As of my recent doctor’s visit, my health has never been better—for an old girl. The fatty bumps that have formed on my back due to age have reduced in size with topical CBD application, and one has gone completely with the daily application of regenerative medicine I put my paw on.
