A couple weeks ago my sister and I took my Boston Terrier, Otis, and her new puppy mill rescue, Ellie, for a long walk around Lake Calhoun. It was something of a nightmare because Ellie still has no idea how to do normal dog things like “walk in a straight line”. She kept tangling us all in her leash again and again and again. I thought maybe she’d follow Otis’s lead, but no, she has her own ideas about how to walk and that’s that. She is making tremendous progress, however, and is even getting a little cuddly now with us! She still prefers other dogs, and that may always be the case, but she’s warming up. She is such a doll. Here are some photos of our walk:

Haha! doggies swimming, so cute. I’m glad Ellie’s doing better. She looks happy.

So cute!
