Red girl "Ella" is hoping for her perfect home!

Who can resist this face!!

Ella is a delightful combination of spunky and sweet. She is confident and fearless, but comes running when I call her. She loves to explore, wandering back to check in with me, and then heads off again to follow a new smell in the yard. She relates so well to the bigger and older dogs--she is very playful with them but is willing to submit when they tell her to toe the line.

The guardian of Green girl was over yesterday to introduce her Great Dane--Ella was not at all fearful when it was her turn to meet Truman. She pranced right over and wandered under and around him. He stood patiently until she nipped his paw. He lifted it up gently and all of a sudden she realized how BIG he was and skittered away for a few minutes--then right back to check him out some more. He's coming back over for a visit in a couple days--I'll get some pictures of him then with the puppies--my camera battery died just at the wrong time yesterday!

Sorry for the over-exposed picture above--my SLR camera is broken--out for repairs. Ella really is a beautiful red/apricot! This not-so-great indoor picture below shows her coloring better.
