Ellie




The newest member of our family is Gabe's puppy, Ellie. He has worked very hard to earn the money for her and also permission from us. He has tried really hard to prove that he is responsible enough for a dog by helping out around the house and taking care of Cash when Tyson is gone. We drove down to Riverton, Utah to pick her up. Gabe was in love the moment he saw her. He started crying and kept saying, "She's perfect!" He has been very good at taking care of her. He feeds her, baths her, cleans up her messes, and plays with her every day. He is working on training her and is learning a lot along the way. It took a lot of debate for Gabe to finally decide on a name for her. I have nicknamed her "Ellington Fitzgerald" because I think it fits her more then just plain old "Ellie". :) She has been a lot of fun, work, and frustration in the charming way only puppies can be.

So excited to see an update!!! We are so proud of Gabe for working hard to be responsible enough for a puppy. What a cute dog. We loved playing with her at Easter.
