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...

    Nursing Home Pet Therapy

    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...

    Must Love Dogs

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...

    The dreaded spay is over

    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...

    Feeling Worried

    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...

    Prey drive

    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...

    Hot Spot

    Ella woke up today with what looks to be a hot spot on her tail. She is extremely itchy and biting at her tail and but. I would suspect fleas, but she has been on Nextguard for 8 months. My next suspicion is allergies, but I really hope not. The hot spot was lightly bleeding and then got crusty...

    Matts behind the ears

    I noticed that Ella is getting knots and matted fur behind her ears. I tried combing it out and had to pull hard to get them out. The knots get inbetween the back of the ear and her neck. I tried to take a pic but where I combed it, but now the other side is matting. She tolerated the hard...

    Sneaky 10 Month Old Puppy

    I was wondering if any of your dogs do this. Ella holds her treats in her mouth for 20 min before hiding them in the couch cushions. The funny thing is she enjoys holding and hiding them, more than eating them. Sneaky girl...
