Many of you know our Basset Hound, Daisy, passed away back in September. This winter was kind of sad and lonely (and quiet!) for our household. We couldn’t bear to get a new dog right away, no one could replace Daisy, but as the months went along, it became clear that we are not a one dog household. In late February we added a new member to our family.

Her name is Eleanor Rigby, but she goes by Ellie. She is a Tibetan Terrier and has fit herself into our family like she was always meant to be here. She is sweet, smart and thinks she is hilarious all at the same time.

Ellie is a very typical Tibetan Terrier, she is my shadow, always having to know where I am at, but then she is content to sleep at my feet. She is also very proud of herself whenever she finds a toy she has hidden away, or when she sits pretty or goes into her kennel like her big sister does. She loves to sit on the deck with the wind blowing in her face. She loves to share toys with Molly, even play tug of war or play chase. Ellie even loves to play with our cat, Emmett, who, surprisingly, likes to play with her too. They spend hours chasing each other back and forth and when they are tired, they curl up together on one of the many dog beds around the house.

She has already grown so much since we first got her. Yesterday was her first grooming appointment and she came home looking her finest (and she was very aware of how adorable she looked).

She had quite the time posing for the camera.

We are so thankful to have such a happy, crazy, sleepy, silly puppy like her.
