Oh my, wasn't she a cute pup? Carl and I picked out sweet little teddy Ellie shortly after we got married in 2005. Brought her home in October. She was/is the best little snuggler. She loves the outdoors, adventure, and has a strong love-hate relationship with Grace.
We always joke that we should've named her Scout. Her breeder said she was the first of the puppies to "escape" her litter box. She's escaped our backyard tons of times, digging under our fence to freedom.
My mom told me (much later) that one of the times my parents were puppy sitting when she was brand new, she escaped the backyard. They were watching TV in the living room, and my mom heard barking at the front door, and there Ellie was on the front porch!
She turned six today, which is 42 in human years. You're a good dog, Eleanor Grey Teddy Hebert!
