Poor Ella was up all night on Sunday trying to pee but not much was coming out, however, I noticed a lot of blood in her urine. I took her to the vet yesterday and they did a urinalysis and gave us some antibiotics. Now the vet just called and said the results showed bladder inflamation with a...

I took Ella to her first tree lighting ceremony at the fire station in our town. There were swarms of screaming kids, men dressed as Santa and elves, an extremely loud bouncy snow globe house, fire truck sirens and tons of people rushing up to pet her and all she wanted to do was lick that elf...

I was taking Ella on her morning walk today with my 2 friends that have young toddlers. Ella is very gentle and loving with them. These 2 moms are dog lovers too and dont seem to mind when Ella licks their kid’s faces. However, today we ran into another mom who also has a toddler, and when Ella...

Ella was on the prowl enjoying her 2nd B-Day...Happy 2nd B-Day baby girl and I can't wait to take you for peanut butter ice cream tonight !Hopefully this Youtube clip works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2N9AXjCwZ4&t=15s

Ella started a nursing home's pet therapy program today and we were so proud of her. Overall, she did really well. She didn't jump on anyone or knock anyone down, which was my biggest concern. She went from wheelchair to wheelchair and just put her head on everyone's lap and licked their hands...

I finally watched "Must Love Dogs" last night and thought the star of the movie was the Newf Mother Theresa. I read that she was played by two 6 month old Newf puppies who got adopted by the director after they were done filming. Does anyone know who the breeder was for these 2 beautiful girls...

I was checking Ella's spay incision today and noticed that she was lactating. It is very bizarre because there is a lot of milk coming out and she is acting really strange. She is being really protective of her stuffed animals and she keeps digging in her blanket. However, The incision looks...

I have been dreading it since I got her and have been arguing with my vet about it since she was 6 months old...But as of yesterday, Ella is spayed. I realize now that much of that worring was for nothing. The procedure went so well. The vet said she was a total sweetheart from beginning to...

I'm feeling really worried about Ella today. She has been licking and chewing on the inside of her front paw pads all week. I have been soaking them in warm water and patting dry. Yesterday she started scratching at her ears really bad and she just got over an ear infection last month. Then this...

Trying to pick a good pic of Ella for our holiday cards this year. i was going to try and make her wear the Santa hat, but she wasn't having it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1212310258806660&set=a.1212303198807366.1073741847.100000830914140&type=3&size=1008%2C756...

Does anyone know who the Newf was in the National Dog Show yesterday? I only caught some of it and missed the Newfoundland.

Ella's training has been pretty good so far, until she discovered cats. We have several stray cats in the neighborhood and they have organized against Ella lol. My greatest training challenge with Ella has always been pulling on the leash. She does not do it all the time, but if she sees a child...
