We had to put our Miss Ellie Mae to sleep yesterday. She was a great dog who would have been 15 years old in September. She was our perfect pup but sassy at the same time. She was ever patient with the boys (but made her opinions known by chewing up clean diapers). She has been always Andy's dog from the beginning (she came with a house he bought when he lived in Mississippi) and tolerated the rest of us as squatters as our household grew. We will miss her fluffy soft ears and her determination. Think of Andy as all this has happened while he is overseas.
