Ella’s Puppy

Thursday, while running errands with my Mom and little sister, we ended up at a thrift store, looking through toys. I found two really cute stuffed animals, a dog and a piggy, one for a dollar and the other one for fifty cents. Now when I found the cute, burgundy dog, I immediately thought of Ella because we use to have this sweet little blue dog stuffy and Ella carried it everywhere with her when she was a puppy.
So of course I had to buy the cute little thing.
And what was the first thing Ella did when I walked in the door?
She stuck her head in the bags (too see what I got, as always) and pulled out the burgundy dog.
And she’s been clinging to him ever since.

See that blur of her tail? Wagging a mile a minute.

I knew it would be a big hit, I just didn’t realize HOW big of a hit he would be.

“C’mon, Ella! Give me a turn!”
“No! He’s mine!”

Nap time.


If only they had two!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Pants!

I don’t know if you guys have noticed this, but..
The first thing I noticed and thought of when I saw a picture of Petal for the first time was “That Collie is wearing pants!”

Check out those brown pants!
Note: this was not the first picture I saw of Petal. This one was taken after she came home to live with me.

Nowadays they’re red and strawberry blonde pants. ;]


She never leaves the house without her pants on. Such a modest little doggy.
She even wears a bra!

And yes, Ella is looking through a Delia*s catalog there on the floor. What can I say? My girls have a thing for fashion.


Now if I could just get Petal to stop running around topless…
