Friend Date

It's been a while since we've blogged! My how time flies when you're busy-- this holiday season has been crazy for us!

I moved desks at work so Ellie no longer sits by her best friend Sadie. Unfortunately, she is very antsy and bored at work now that she has no buddy so I have to leave her home during the day instead. However, Sadie's mom said that we should still have play dates so that's what we did this weekend!

Sadie's mom came and picked Ellie up and took her over to their house where they have a fenced back yard. Not only did Ellie get to spend time with her best bud, but she got to explore the outdoors without a leash! It definitely made me very happy!

Ellie's typical work day

What's on the agenda:

• Potty
• Come inside and kiss Sadie (black doggy friend) hello
• Greet human coworkers
• Sleep on the floor
• Go on a walk with the dog walker and some 4-legged friends
• Sleep in my bed
• Play with Sadie
• Sit in on a meeting (I climb up into an office chair to sit) ;)
• Sleep on the floor some more
• Make out with Sadie
• Whine when it's 4:58
• Go home at 5pm

Ellie's latest BFF

Ellie is a very social dog, both with people, dogs and even sometimes cats. Getting to come to work with me is a special treat for her because she sees doggy friends every day. Well, even more fun for her is that I tend to occasionally get shuffled around with the office which means she gets to befriend new dogs all the time.

Here I will take you through her various love affairs.

It all started out with Goldie. She is my sister's dog, and Ellie's first friend since knowing me because we used to all live together.

More recently, Ellie has taken a liking to my coworker's English Lab, Stella. Stella is a very well-behaved dog who gets along with everyone and her only vice is being queen of the ChuckIt ball.

Ellie had a short office romance with Walter, the deaf Great Dane. She was nervous about his size, but loved to submit to him and kiss his face off.

Now her current BFF's name is Sadie and she's a Black Lab/Basset Hound mix. She looks like a Lab whose legs forgot to grow! (And the Basset was the dad!)
