Stella DellaVella just wrote a diary! And it’s all because of Daisy – only the most adorable puppy in the whole wide world! When Stella adopted Daisy from Emily Crawford (and that’s a whole CR-A-Z story), her whole life changed. Stella and her 2 besties – Annie and Bowsie – along with their 3 furry friends, entered a Fundraiser contest at school and created a doggy biscuit stand. BTW, that’s how they got the name - 3 Hungry Dogs, dedicated to helping homeless dogs. These super-duper creative crafty girls baked doggy biscuits, sewed doggy toys, and designed doggy chef outfits ... and that's just the beginning!!Stella’s mom always says be the difference … see the difference … and you’ll make a difference. And that’s just what these 3 BFFs did this year – all because of Daisy!Read about Stella’s sixth grade adventures and what happens when Robbie Putterpaw and Meanalie Hart (oops, Melanie and we don't think she really has a heart) join forces for double snarkiness and DOUBLE TROUBLE. Find out how Stella, Annie, and Bowsie made it to the last day of school! Oh, I almost forgot. A portion of the sale of each book really does go to doggy rescue groups. These 3 besties and their 3 hungry dogs ARE making a difference!!

3 Girls + 3 Adorable Dogs + FurRaisers Galore = MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!And that’s what Stella DellaVella and her 2 besties (Annie and Bowsie) did this summer.

BTW, Daisy’s still the most adorable puppy in the whole wide world and Stella has a gazillion pics of the little doodlebug to share in her new book! Melanie and Robbie are still super snarks this summer, but the 3 BFFs are joining forces against snarkiness – wait until you see what they do!I can’t wait for you to read Diary 2! Stella, Annie, and Bowsie have been writing down all their FurRaiser ideas and put them together in a kit. Now you can create special memories and make a difference with your own special super-duper fun FurRaisers. BTW, we’re still donating a portion of the sale of each book to doggy rescue groups. Read about that at 3HungryDogs.com.

Stella, Annie, and Bowsie were sooooo spot on last summer with their FurRaiser’s, the Buzz TV show asked the BFFs to demo their doggy biscuits. One thing led to another and the 3 girls and their 3 hungry dogs are now TV stars!! Okay, maybe it’s really the dogs that are the stars. Yea, the besties are pretty sure it’s all about the dogs, but they are enjoying all the attention.If you’ve read Stella’s first two diaries, you ABSOLUTELY know Stella DellaVella and her 3 besties’ ideas don’t always turn out the way they plan. And Stella’s first day in seventh grade at Kilbourne Junior High is no exception. Stella thinks she’s getting the most awesome hairstyle, but ….. well, wait until you see what happens. YIKES! The BFFs decided that seventh grade is going to be the Best Ever – new year, new positive attitude, so they all – maybe just Stella - decided to enter a Cook-Off contest at their school with Chef Shoobert (UGH, wait until you read about him), but so do Rory and Robbie (that’s good), but Meanalie (oops Melanie and THAT’s bad) also enters, so you know there’s going to be some excitement. BTW, the winner wins a trip to NEW YORK CITY!!!Despite a barking parrot, Melanie’s recipe sabotage, and unscrupulous FurRaisers (and you know Melanie’s involved with these) the besties are having an AWESOME school year and making a difference in Stella’s third diary - Cooking Show Fiascos!
