I have proof. I finally have proof.
Proof that these two CAN get along!
And I caught it all on camera.
So there’s no way to deny it ever happened…
Ella and Pancake were SPOONING.
Now for those of you imagining my lovable lab mix spooning with the tasty breakfast food, you’d be imagining it all wrong. Because Pancake is not a breakfast meal, Pancake is my sister’s cat who pretty much came with the house (and his name, which he knows and comes to, so there was no changing it).
Now normally (just last night, in fact) we have to scold Ella for charging this poor cat.
The weird thing is is she never ever treats Harriet, the other cat, the way she treats Pancake. She barks at Pancake, pretends like she’s going to chase him down, gets right in his face and just pesters him.
She’s treats Harriet more like a delicate little puppy or something.
Maybe it’s because Harriet is only 8 lbs while Pancake is 20 lbs (yes, he’s huge).
Or maybe it’s because we never interfered with that relationship as much, we simply encouraged Ella to be gentle with Harriet, rather than scolding her like we do when she’s not particularly kind to Pancake.
And clearly Pancake is quite the booty lover.
Ella loves…
2: Ella loves to wag, wag, wag her tail and do a little dance whenever she’s excited. Not even whipping herself in the eye with her own tail will keep her from happy dancing.
3: Ella loves to ‘roo, roo, roooo!’ Especially after I’ve finally gotten the collies to quiet down (anyone who owns collies will likely know how difficult this can be at times).
4: Ella loves to ride in the car.
5: Ella loves to get all wet and then roll in the dirt.
6: Ella loves neck scratches.
7: Ella loves breaking the rules and then giving you that wide-eyed innocent look so she can get away with it.
8: Ella loves to carry things, whether it be a sock, a shoe, a toy, or a piece of paper.
9: Ella secretly loves to snuggle with Petal.
10: Ella loves silencing those squeaky toys forever and hiding/keeping the toys away from the collies.
11: Ella loves her collies.

Bath time!
Ella had a (much needed) bath today!
And she was NOT very happy about it.
But she did a wonderful job of leaping out of the tub, mid rinse, and getting myself, my sister, and the bathroom soaking wet.
She also smells sooo lovely now thanks to Happytails’ Bubbles n’ Beads shampoo and Dirty & Hairy’s Protect conditioner.
Who doesn’t love a clean dog?
Ella’s New Bed
Remember when I said Ella was going to get a new collar for her birthday?
Well I changed my mind and decided what she really needed was a new bed.
I was all set to get her this warm cave-like bed when I looked around and realized we have a couple of old, worn and tattered dog beds. I thought I would save myself the money of buying a whole new bed and instead buy a Molly Mutt duvet cover (off Amazon) to stuff our old dog beds/filling/sheets/clothes into.
This cover was half the price of the bed I was planning on getting for Ella and it’s much cuter!
And Ella loves it as well. She was curling up on it faster than I could finish filling it!
(crazy I’ve-Got-My-Eye-On-You look)
Sorry your birthday present was so late, Ella! ♥
Lots of Pictures
Today we went out and played in the mud and dirt and got nice and dirty!
Well except for Lassie, of course, ’cause that would’ve messed up his nicely brushed hair. ;]
But the girls had no problem with getting muddy and dirty.
Lassie says that’ll all change for Petal once her coat is long like his.
We’ll see. ;]

The girls had a blast while Lassie and I kicked back and took photos.

Freedom!
Some pictures from running and getting dirty on the trail today!
They had a blast even though we couldn’t stay out for very long before everyone was hot and ready to go back to the car for some ice cold water. ;]
