The holidays with Ella

It has been quite a Christmas, my daughter had about 5 of them lol. Even Ella is exhausted. 

She's definitely showing her age. She gets so excited 

when we're getting the leash. She does the zoomies randomly, not because she just pooped (like some other fosters we've known). 

She's a great energy to play with our dog who just loves to play. Although she's def stronger, but she'll let him win lol. 

She's a chewer, hence a whole new set of toys for Christmas!! Teaching, "leave it", "lay down", and "no".  Working on potty training but a lot of our fosters from Alabama need some time figure out the white stuff and where all the dirt and grass went to pee. She was DEF confused.

Welcome Nutella

  Welcome "Ella" because my daughter forgot the "Nu" already. The car ride home was so adorable because the car ride there was late night and a bit long so it was talking about meeting a new dog and she's going to be nice.  The whole car ride home my daughter kept asking Ella to come and she did and licked her hand and at one point jumped in her car seat (WAY too big to fit) and lap dogged my toddler until she realized it was uncomfortable for all involved.  Before we got home she was just non chalant laid in the back seat and chill.  The photo above was about an hour into her coming home. I think they're going to get along just fine!! :)

What are we finding out??

We love walks. We love sniffing everything. We like peeing on small shrubs and pushes like boy dogs (weird, but peeing outside...I'll take it).  Still love to be super in your face for kisses. Learning to lay down when asked.  OH! We LOVE LOVE LOVE to chew on EVERYTHING!! Can't figure out what's the kids and what's mine yet. (Lot's of learning opportunities).  Still couple messes in the house. But working on a schedule and toileting cues.  Christmas is around the corner, hoping for more toys so I stop mixing it up with new foster sister's also very crunchy toys.

Nutella in the New Year 2022

She is eager for love and cuddles. When she is calm, don't call her, lol she'll never hesitate to jump RIGHT up and stick her wet nose to your face for kisses. She's going better with pottying on the warmer of the Wisconsin winter days. Still some accidents, but expected. She is getting better and better at this bubble thing and the command "go lay down". She still hovers around the toddler when she has food, but getting better at when we are all eating will go lay on the floor under the table. Sometimes she does it before we are settled and so quiet we don't know WHERE she went. She DEF falls in the category "when it's too quiet, look for her" haha I found she needs a blanket to nest in to sleep. So now she gets one of the toddlers because she's gotten like 14 blankets as gifts. She won't miss one.
