Ellie Mae has recovered very nicely from her No-Momma surgery. She shows no side effects and has continued regular play with resident GR Maren. Not sure about this, but I believe she smiled when the last seconds of the game clock ticked off and she knew Iowa beat Wisconsin today.
She loves attention. Will even stand around close while doing weekend cleaning in the bathroom. Is one of best ever on the "Gentle Leader". She has become very accustomed to other noises which used to bother her and does very well when meeting strange/neighbor dogs on walks.
Ellie does very well sleeping in unlocked, open door kennel at night. It is her favorite spot to sleep, cuddling up against the blanket which SO sent with her. She appears totally house broken, letting us know when she wants out and when she wants in.
