I am at the point now where I realise we must be more vigilant in teaching Ellie good manners!
I had my nephew over for tea yesterday. He has a dog of his own that can be quite boisterous (boxer), however, Ellie did her usual trick of jumping all over the sofa to get near to him! He wasn't scared, but a little unnerved as he wasn't really sure of her (he has only met her a few times). So I had to give Ellie a couple of 'time outs' to calm her down. I then allowed her back in to the living room and she proceeded to plonk herself right on his knee :
Best Friends
I think she has had too much freedom and been allowed to 'sofa surf' too much by her besotted Dad!
Today Ellie has had her 'off lead' walk. She was a lot more behaved, so I think alternating between on lead and off may be working (I wont speak too soon though!).
Ellie is obsessed with water! She always drops her balls into puddles when playing. Today though, she went one better :
"Think I will just have a little lie down for a while"
Here's how deep the puddle actually was :
She was soaked! It was a good walk though (any walk is considered good when I don't have to try to catch her or cajole her into getting back on lead)
She certainly is a character. I love her to bits.
