Catch and catch up

  Hello there!  My name is Ellie.  I'm a BDAR girl.  For those of you who haven't heard of BDAR, I believe it stands for savers of lives or something like that, but I'll ask my foster mama quick.  Oh oh oh oh oh, she says it's Black Dog Animal Rescue.  So I've had a bit of a rough go of it so far.  I had a real-live-true family of my own for a very little while, but they changed their minds about me a little bit after my first birthday.  See, I have a medical problem.  MEDICAL, not an Ellie problem.  When I'm sleeping or relaxed, I piddle a little bit.  It's not intentional or anything; it just leaks out.  It's not how I want things to work, but it happened.  My mama right now says it is something we are going to work on.  I'll get to that.  AAAANNNYYYhow, when BDAR saved me, I was a different girl.  

That was me when they came to get me.  As you can see, my smile is missing.  I was skeered!  Since then, I've been living in a foster home east of town.  It's pretty great!  I can bark when I feel like it and as loud as I want.  It's funny, though.  I don't really feel like doing that much.  Once in a while, though, there's this pony, and I've given him a piece of my mind a time or two.  And I can bounce and play and EAT!  I love to eat!  And I still look so sleek, so modelesque!   

I absolutely love playing outside with my pal Koda.  This is him and I in our playground. 

<------ Out by our pool

you can see our pony in this one, sort of 

Sometimes, we'll rough house inside, too. 

As you can see, I usually let Koda pretend that he's winning.  I'm pretty submissive, though.  

So about this piddling thing.  It's not as big of a deal as it might seem.  BDAR is going to get a surgery done for me that should correct the problem I have.  It's a medical thang!  Until that gets done, though, I'm just going to chill out at my foster ranch.  I call it the EllieBelle Ranch.  It'll catch on.  

Check back to visit me!  I've got a ton of pictures to show all y'all.  And updates on the when/where/how of my surgery.  

Big kisses!
Ellie
