Ellie
Cathy and I saw an add at the local Krogers in Delaware Ohio that stated a family was moving and needed to give up their dog, Ellie. When we saw her, we were suprised that she had a stubby tail, but knew she would be loved. This was our first dog as a family, and she was special indeed. She was 3 when we adopted her and her family was so sad to see her go. We loved her and after we started getting involved in rescue, she handled the new additions well. She had a few scraps, but put them all in their place!After 13 years, a few days before Christmas, she laid down in the computer room and left us. Before that happened, I talked with her, even though she was deaf and pretty much blind, I think she understood. I told her that these other dogs did not mean that she was being replaced, but that we had to help them find homes. I really feel she understood that.
