Hi Ella! Happy Dog of the Day!!!

I say it all the time, and today is no exception! Nothing melts my heart more than seeing a beautiful, most deserving seasoned citizen as our extra special, Sunday, Dog of the Day honoree! And how beautiful you are, Ella, in body and in heart, from the top of your sweet head to the tip of your tail! You have the prettiest coat (ust look at those soft curls, and a face that could melt the coldest of hearts!

I can't imagine how a pup as beautiful as you came "this close" to facing the unmentionable. Thank goodness your family found their way to you before it was too late, and how well their kindness and compassion have been rewarded these past 13 years! From day one, the day you first set paw into your forever home, you were all about showing your gratitude, paying forward the kindness shown you, most notably by being a source of comfort and companionship to your blind brother! And now, being the elder stateswoman that you are, it's your turn to wile away the days napping on pillows, cuddling with your adorable kitty sibs and your parents, enjoying your retirement! You may be hearing and vision impaired, but in true canine spirit, you haven't let those challenges keep you from loving life, your forever family, to their fullest! How blessed your family is, Ella, having known your unconditional love and devotion these many years, and I hope and pray that you and your family will know many moe! You're a true survivor, Ella, a treasure, and so very worthy of your big day in the spotlight! I hope you're enjoying it to the max, being loved and pampered to bits, treated to all your heart desires and more! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, precious Ella, Dog of a Lifetime!
