We are dogsitting for Sue and Gary while they are visiting friends in TN for five days. So far, Ella has been very easy. We have decided to nickname her Moocher because she can't stand when we are eating anything, especially a big meal like dinner. We offer her the cute green bowl of dog food that she is supposed to eat, but instead of digging in, she stares, licks her lips, growls a little, and follows us around the table. I feel bad for her. I have snuck one or two things her direction, which probably doesn't help. She still refuses her food most of the time. Caleb is hand feeding her 1/4 cup of her food after we finish eating because she thinks we are treating her that way. That's the amount Sue said she should eat twice a day. Other than bad eating habits, she is great. She loves to sit on our laps while watching movies, doing homework, even driving in the car. She slept with Ashlyn for most of the night last night and part of the morning with Joshua. She loves to wake up happy - extremely happy! She runs all around the house licking everyone and hopping all around. I've never seen her like that before. Tonight is our second night with her and we are interested to see what she does tonight. It's been getting in the 30s at night and in the morning so we are not looking forward to those potty breaks either, but hope it speeds her up a little. We'll keep you posted on the rest of her stay...
