No)Ella is about eight years old. She had lived since a puppy with a woman who recently died at age 89. She has had little contact with other dogs, spending most of her time in the house or in a smallish yard. I give her major points for taking us all on. She has already learned to negotiate one of those panel screen doors so she can follow the boys in and out, in and out, …… and enjoys having so much room to roam.

She’s a little needy and has already decided I belong to her, but don’t know if that is her nature or the newness of her situation. She didn’t eat the first night, but has been chowing down at meal times since. The nice bed Jamie bought for Callix was appropriated by Kai and seems to have passed down to her. Callix sleeps on a sleeping bag anyway.

She is a real sweetheart and we love her already.
