Wow, I've just realised it's well over a month since I last posted! My apologies for the extended absence.
Well now, how is Ellie doing?
She continues to be a complete diva. Still demanding as ever but totally adorable.
She is now full blown into her second heat (a frustrating time for her as she can't go off lead in public). She has taken to this heat much better than the first one. She's just taking it in her stride.
A few weeks ago, on one of her walks she started limping badly (I honestly though I would have to carry her by the end). When we eventually got home I checked her front paw and leg over, but found nothing. A couple of hours later her foot was completely swollen! I looked at it and found what looked like a thorn stuck in the bottom of her leg, it looked like she was having a reaction to it. I phoned the vet and asked if I could give her an antihistamine (hubby was away for the day with the car so I couldn't take her straight down). The vet said that would be ok and to phone back if the problem persisted. Well the tablet worked a treat (saved a hefty vet bill too!) and she was back to her naughty self in no time. She is such an accident prone dog, she just has to be into everything!

She has had so many outings during the summer. One of our favourite places is Beamish Museum (pic below). We went on the last bank holiday of the year, it was very busy, but Ellie coped well with the crowds.
I am really pleased that we took her to puppy classes and socialised her as we did. It means we can take her anywhere without worrying how she will react.
We have had such a wonderful summer here in the UK, and we have made the most of it. (It's going to be a long winter!).

I will try not to leave it so long between posts next time :)
Here are a few photos taken over this last few weeks (she's such a poser) :

She is sooo adorable. I love photos of her. Her personality is so big it just brings her to life!
She is a character to be sure Susan! (and not just a tad naughty lol)
