"Deller's"

Adella is our family German Shepard. When we were up in Kooskia, Eric was camped out close to the middle fork of the Clearwater. The kids and I took a walk to check it out. Adella walked about a foot or two out from the shore line. Where ever the kids were, she stayed in front of. She didn't like the kids too close to the water. It was like she was "on guard" in case they fell in. The first question we get when we introduce her to anyone is " Does she have lab in her?" No. She's a pure black, pure bred German Shepard. Papers and all. We have literally had her since day 1. We were fostering her mother for the time being, and we got a free pup out of it. She was the runt and Eric fell in love with her, he HAD to have her.
When naming her, Eric wanted something German. Since I was pregnant with Caitrin, I was digging in my baby names book for all sorts of German names. We settled on "Adella" because it mean noble. She has proven to be all that to us.
