We own a 10 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix doggie. Her name is Ellie and we're about to celebrate our 8 year Gotcha Day (the day we adopted her from the shelter).
She was originally named Jelly (she had a puppy with her named Peanut Butter). Unfortunately, Peanut Butter was too young to adopt. The hubs refused to call her Jelly, so we changed it to "Ellie" which fits her perfectly.
Ellie LOVES food (except lettuce and bananas). Yes, I know it's bad to feed her human food (please don't comment) but she just looks so darn cute, we can't help it. Here is a funny pic of Ellie begging for popcorn. How can we resist?
She's a funny dog.
