A New Year


Abbey's Life Lessons will return next Monday - and will continue to be a Monday Feature on our blog. I promised Abbs that I would always find room to love another golden girl - so in honor of her - and everything that she taught me - I'd like to introduce you to......

Eleanor Roosevelt - better known as ELLIE!

In Abbey's honor - I am turning over the reigns of this blog to our newest family member.

It's all yours Elle!

I'm a little overwhelmed here. I'm 14 weeks old - and have spent my young life on a beautiful farm in southeastern PA. My new Mom came to pick me up this morning - and 2-1/2 hrs later - I'M A NEW YORK CITY GIRL!


Mom and her friends Mr. T and Miss Liv met me in Pennsylvania for our journey to NYC.

I found the car ride very relaxing. There's was even a dog bed for me - I thought it might be even more comfortable to sleep UNDER the bed. Very cozy.


Apparently there were snacks in the back seat - but Miss Liv was in charge of keeping me in my luxurious cargo area. (I had toys - a bed - a blanket - but those snacks looked tempting)


When we got home - I discovered just how lucky I am...

There's Mom's chair. OK - so I'm not really suppose to be in it . I'm learning.

My big sis Abbey, left me her dog bed. I promise to take good care of it!

There's my new crate - with it's own custom slipcover.

I even have my own little pop-up "Pup Tent". Mom thought this would be great for weekend trips outside the city. I think it's pretty cozy!

So there you have it. I'm going to do my best to fill some pretty big paws. I look forward to sharing my stories and adventures with you. Right now - I think it's time to nap!

-Ellie
(so far I have been called Ellie, Elle, Eleanor, Mrs. Roosevelt, Elmo, El-ster - apparently I have many personalities!)

Oh yay Ellie!!! Such a cutie you are and so glad to see your many cozy hideouts!
We look forward to getting to know you and hearing all about your NYC adventures!

Lola and also Franklin, too said...

Oh, it is lovely go meet you my dear! You're going to love Central Park, I know. Blog Mom says to ask to go to Riverside Park once in a while, too. That's where she played in the human puppy run when she was a girl. And the pee-mail just everywhere. The bestest part of being a city dog, I think, is that every time you go for a walk you meet new people who want to pet you. Oh, you're going to have a great time in your new life, Ellie.

lotsa licks, Lola

Brooke said...

Hi Ellie! What a lucky pup you are with some big shoes to fill!

Ollie said...

Ellie, you're too cute for words! Every person you meet is going to want to snatch you up for a cuddle.
You have an amazing mom who's going to make sure there's a whole lot of fun ahead of you.

Golden Samantha said...

What wonderful news! You are totally adorable, Ellie - and what a wonderful new home you have, with so many cool amenities! We know your sis will be guiding you in your new NY life! Can't wait to read and see pix of you growing up and we look forward also to Monday life lessons from Abby as well!

Yeah! So glad you two found each other! Abbey was whispering in your ear, Ellie...and I know she will keep doin' that. After all, she has your Momma trained so well! I am a "sequel", too, and I know I am as much loved as my predecessor was. You have found yourself a mighty wonderful furever home, and we're celebratin' with you both.
Welcome home, Ellie,
Rex & Momma

Julie said...

Awwww! How adorable. Meg just told me that Ellie had arrived and I had to come and have a look.

That sweet little face! I would be helplessly unable to resist that face and would therefore be unable to prevent Ellie from sleeping on the couch, the chair, or any other place she wanted to!

Best wishes for a long and happy time together for you and little Ellie.

Congratulations!
