Hello Ellie, it's a pleasure to meet such a lovely girl as you. I'm sorry you had a rough start in life and were abused. I am so glad you were adopted and can tell that your human loves you very much and vice versa I'm sure. I really like that second photo; it seems that all four legs are off the ground . I hope you all have many years together. My Annie was a stray (abused I think) who adopted us; she too was scared at first but after years with us she is a sweet trusting girl. I am so glad you all are together and that you gave Ellie a chance for happiness and a good home. Congrats on being DOTD Ellie!
