I have to say now that Elsie is 4 years old; she is one of the best dogs. It only took 2 years of torture to get here but it is worth it. She loves Averie and every morning runs into her room when she awakes. One night after Averie had a routine vaccination she was feeling rather "needy" and did not want me to put her down. Well, I eventually had to in order to get her bedroom ready for bedtime. As soon as I put her down she started to scream; then she was instantly quiet. I immediately thought she had gotten into something she should not have and would be really mad when I took it away from her. To my surprise Elsie was there comforting her. Now if only she could change diapers.
Sledding - This year Averie awoke Christmas morning to find that Santa had left a sled under the tree. She loves her sled and we go sledding around the block to say "Hello" to all the show shovelers.
