So I had to give a quick update on my dog Stella Bean Portnoy. Now for those of you who are like who or why do I care about Stella Bean Portnoy you can go kill yourself. Real Barstool people know Stella has been with Barstool since the beginning. Renee got her 3 days before we met. She’s been with us for 15 years. Basically from Day 1 of Barstool Sports. She rests high upon the Barstool Crest. She is the first dog of Barstool.

Well last week Stella got very ill.

She had something called acute gastroenteritis. Renee told me she started throwing up Wednesday. We didn’t think much of it in the beginning, but by Friday Renee took her to the Nantucket animal Hospital. They told her it was serious and she had to go to Boston so she could be admitted into a 24/7 ICU center. Things started looked better on Saturday morning only to suffer a major set back that evening. Non stop puking and diarrhea. (Don’t tell Stella I told you that. She’d be very embarrassed). She was losing weight, refusing to eat and in pain. She couldn’t be off pain meds or IV’s for more than 15 minutes at a time. She would end up having to stay 3 more days in the ICU before she finally turned the corner. It was super sad and depressing. Well I’ve waited to officially pronounce her healthy until we were sure she was fully recovered but we are finally there. Stella Bean Portnoy has survived this scare and continues to rule the 7 kingdoms. Thank you for all the support and a special thanks to Renee who was with her every step of the way. Without her literally telling the doctors whenever Stella need more pain meds or had to pee it may not have turned out as well.
