Let us know how the meeting goes Leslie. I hope Ellie finds her forever home tonight. It sounds like you could use the break and she needs it.
Praying this is the perfect forever home for sweet independent Ellie! Keep us posted.
Ellie is officially adopted to a very nice, very active young couple who came all the way from Ohio to adopt her. They had been looking for a red tri female aussie for a long time and Ellie was love at first sight. I warned them of all her typical aussie ways, and they are thrilled to take on the mission of raising a happy, healthy Ellie! Her new mom is a jogger and her new dad is into obedience and especially frisbie! He's going to do obedience and disk dog training with Ellie, and the wife will take her on her daily jogs once she is ready. They have no plans on having kids, and they plan on making Ellie their new child. Tonight is my last night with Ellie, and tomorrow I am taking her to the Humane Society where they will meet me and they'll take her from there.Quote:

It was hard to see Saph go (who is now named Riley), but Ellie has worn out her welcome :) I love her, but I am not terribly sad about her leaving. I know that I will miss her, but I also will breath a huge sigh of relief. Puppies are a LOT of work, especially when they are spunky like Ellie! And I feel great about the homes that both of my babies got, so I am quite confindent that they will never know abuse or neglect. They will be spoiled and adored, as they deserve to be. Both puppies' new parents promised to keep in touch, and send pics of their growth and development. I also asked both of the puppies' new parents if they would please let me know if something goes wrong and they can't keep the dog for any reason. They both assured me that nothing like that would ever happen, but they'll keep in mind what I said.
I am not sure how Kersey will react, but I imagine she'll be devistated. I know that she'll get over it, because I'll be paying extra attention to her and Graham when Ellie is gone.
They asked me if I would take a Kennel Cough infected, 79 pound chocolate labbie boy over Christmas and New year, but I think I'll pass, unless it's life or death for him. I'll let you all know if I take on that big fella, but odds are not likely...I need a break :)
It sounds like Ellie is going to an ideal home! I'm so happy for these two pupsters. Yes, take your break. ;)
I am so glad that Ellie found a new home and Here in OHIO!!! Maybe you could have told them about PetTalk and they could bring her to the dog park sometime!!!
Take a break Sweet Leslie you deserve it!
It sounds like she will be very happy & loved!
Yes, sound like you need a much deserved rest, expecially with christmas right around the corner:eek:
WOW!!! Holland Ohio, is Toledo!!! That is sooo great!!! I wonder where they do obdience?? It is possible we may see this little pup at school, although there are plently of places around here to train...
I'm glad Ellie has found a good home and that you are getting a well deserved break! I have asked people about fostering before and how you can let dogs go, and I was told, some dogs you just know aren't going to be a dog you are even tempted to keep, even though you want the best for them. Sounds like this may be the case, and the way it worked out. That is great!!!
Like Staci, said, maybe we can get them to go to the Dog Park...if not Findlay, BG would only be about 20 min for them.
Last pics of Ellie before she went off to her forever home:
These show nicely how neat her eyes are...one as blue as Kimmy's Kia's eyes, and one green:

It's neat how her ears are going to be completely errect, compared to Saph, who's ears were and still are droop. I swear, Ellie is a spitting image of Kia, only small!

OMG!!! Would you look at that!! Her ears are now erect! How cool! Now she really does look like a mini Kia. :D Andy will just love to see these pics.
I'm so happy to hear that Ellie found a forever home. Sounds like she'll be in heaven. :)
And you do take that much needed rest Leslie and enjoy your holiday season. You deserve it.
Congrats on all your work.
Ellie is going to be one beautiful doggie...she looks so alert to everything around her. What a beautie! I am glad that she has found a forever home. That sounds like it was a huge job, even though it was only for a few weeks, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday now!! :D
Congratulations on a job well done, Leslie. You deserve a break (and a metal) for taking on the puppers. Give yourself five gold stars too.
Those pictures are just adorable!! She really does look like a mini Kia!! Enjoy your well deserved break and have a great holiday!!

I knew you could do it Leslie!!! I am thrilled to hear Ellie has the perfect forever home. I know all too well the bittersweet feeling of missing them but having them wearing out their welcome. When we had 10 running around at 8 weeks it was an all day (and night) job. I cried when they left but slept peacefully (until Dusty had to get up to potty)! LOL
Ellie is a really beautiful girl! :D Take your much needed break and Have a happy holiday knowing you helped two families have a richer and more joyful Christmas!!! ;)
Oh my, she is just beautiful!!! Her new family is just going to love her:D
