Little Ellie came into Ashton in an awful state June 2008. She had lost most of her hair, was covered in sores and her neck was out of place. She was a nervous little thing.
I took her into foster immediately. It was very obvious Ellie had also been used for breeding on top of everything else. She found her paws pretty quickly with me and began to get rather cheeky, deciding she 'd like my bed instead of her own
In her famous red jumper, given to her by Marie to keep her warm:
And of course her sitting demurely while my lot were demanding to know where I was going:
After 6 weeks of rubbing bio oil on her skin and washing her sores, her hair began to come back. When she was neutered it was discovered she had cysts on her ovaries and after the operation her hair started to grow back at a rapid pace. She left me for her new life with a wonderful lady and a German Spitz to keep her company, this is her before she left me:
I popped into see Ellie a few months ago and just couldn't believe the difference in her and how happy she was in her new home:
Ellie died in her sleep today, Saturday May 30th 2009. I am absolutely devastated and so upset that this little beauty didn't get longer in her new home, were she was loved and spoilt as she deserved to be. But at least she knew love and kindness in the last year of her short life.
You will always be in our thoughts my little woman, you are at peace now where no one can ever neglect you again xxx
