Dear Andrea and Family: WOW...It's been several years since we've "spoken", but I have some wonderful updates! Ellie is now almost 6. She will be 6 on December 2, 2012. She is the best dog I have EVER had. I've gotten so many compliments about her disposition. She is also VERY intelligent, sometimes too intelligent, if you ask me. HaHa! Besides her wonderful, spunky, quirky personality, she doesn't shed. It's amazing. I can travel with her to friends and family because of this. Oh yes, and Miss Ellie LOVES going "bye-bye"! Ellie has been a delight to all of those who have met her. Additionally, she is "the most preferred dog" in my apartment complex because she is so well behaved; all of the staff know her and like playing with her.
Please find the attached picture from Labor Day weekend, 2012. I caught her yawning. She's not very photogenic, so I like this picture a lot because it shows how "fun" she really is.
