3/9/21 - In the car leaving the foster home, wondering what's going on. Ellie, not me. |
New home! Still confused. Me too. |
Maybe I'll just lay here and chew things. |
This seems like a warm place to lay down. |
Awww. |
Everybody's pooped. |
Well, Mary finally has something to take her mind off not having a puppy. |
Nose. |
Keeping Mommy's foot warm while she's on the phone with Pam. |
This is your bad ankle, it'd be a shame if somebody... |
...laid down on it! |
Lap dog. |
She'll grow into her crate. |
Sure, she's cute when she's not being bratty. |
Checking out her Facebook page with Mommy. |
Nose!. |
Learning to walk on a leash. |
You have food! I also like food. |
Folded pupper. |
She slid down into the cracks, but she seems comfy. |
Bleb. |
Her warrior name shall be "Ellie the Boneless." |
Well, Mary's happy. |
Getting her used to riding in the car, because the 2 times time she rode in a car 2 weeks ago she ended up in a different home. |
She's worried. |
All settled down. |
The vet took a picture on her first visit. |
3/25 - gotten her last puppy shots, and ready to receive worshippers. |
Starting to train her to walk at heel. Everything's new and scary! |
She likes to hang out on our laps on the porch. |
...also hanging out with Mommy watching sappy movies and doing puzzles. |
Even autofocus can't handle the cuteness! |
Lambchop... |
...must... |
...die! |
She held still long enough to focus! |
She looks innocent, but I know she wants to chew on my hand. |
As long as she's comfortable. |
And hanging out on the porch again. |
Doing well learning to walk at heel. |
Yes, in the most inconvenient place possible. |
It's empty because you ate it all, in 15 seconds. |
Getting big! 14 pounds when we got her, 21 pounds in April |
SQUIRREL! |
Mary made her a nook under her sewing machine. |
Much better than under the chair. |
We brought the porch cushions in out of the rain. She likes them. |
Where's that snoring sound coming fro- |
Oh. |
Golden Slumbers... |
Draw me like your French girls, Jack. |
My fuzzy baby. |
Covering even more tiles. 25 lbs. on 4/21. |
Cheese... |
...cake! |
Bleb. |
First bath 5/7! It wasn't fun for anyone involved. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chillin' with her squeeky ball. |
Her tail is a perfect caligraphy brush!. |
Trying to get the neighbor-dog's attention. |
Family porch time. |
Porch bleb.She's 31 pounds as of 5/19. |
Long little doggie! Waiting for Mommy at the store again. |
I sense food! Where's the food?? |
I shall be very happy to help open this (nibble nibble). |
Taking up even more of the couch. |
Hi. |
She has chosen this chair as her own (which is fine since we never use it). |
Watching over the back yard for dangerous bluejays and squirrels. |
See? No dangerous bluejays or squirrels. |
As of the end of June she's 35 pounds and 34" long!. |
Ready to play fetch! |
Of course her idea of fetch is to keep the ball herself. |
Such a doggie face! |
Ya gonna throw the ball or what?? |
Nope, the ball is mine now. |
Watching Wimbeldon! The score is "Puppy/Love." |
Aww! Yeah, she just wants my snack. |
Spiffy new harness, so maybe she'll behave on her walk. |
Doggies in the window. |
Yes, she's sleeping with her foot on her head. |
Pretty posing. |
Mary: "You're going to behave on this walk, right?"
Ellie: "Whatever, Mom." |
Bob from across the street running over to say hi. |
As of Mid-August, she seems to have stabilized around 40 pounds. |
I look cute. Give me treats. |
Bleb. |
I dunno, man, sometimes I think about life, and... ooh, squirrel! |
LOOM! |
Us hanging out on the back porch while Ellie... |
... watches out for deer and squirrels. |
Treats? Please? |
I'd just shouted a word she'd never heard before when I figured out a clue to a crossword, and Ellie came running over to see what was wrong. I guess "Skua!" means something urgent in dog. |
Guarding the middle of the kitchen floor from falling food. |
My dog has too many feet. |
Mary got the rolling chair so could move freely around her work room. Then we got a dog. |
Seems comfy. |
RAHR! |
1 year old and still afraid of the garbage truck. |
The princess on her throne. |
Posing pretty for her 1st birthday. |
Boop da snoot. |
On her first birthday, Dec 3, 2021, she weighed 44 pounds. Hoping she's done growing. |
