About a month ago I decided to start fostering dogs for our local SPCA chapter.
Ellie
is our first dog to foster. We have had her for about a month. She is
the active younger sister that our "old man" dog, Scout, never asked
for. If her life had a motto it would be the same as Ricky Bobby's from
Talladega Nights, " If you're not first, you're last."
I don't
think Ellie knows where she is going most of the time, and so she
follows Scout's lead to get up and follow me. But somehow while
following Scout she is also right up in front, determined to beat Scout
through every door, for every treat, and on top of every couch.In
the quieter moments she is an incredibly sweet dog who loves to cuddle,
and guards the house from any strange noises as though our lives depend
on it.
