October 17, 2013 was my last day with Ella.  She had pretty severe bone cancer in her leg and was unable to get herself up anymore with out great difficulty.  She was a great dog to the end, and I still miss her terribly every day.
Since then, I have rescued 2 brown dogs, no idea about breed type.  They had been abandoned in their backyard with out food or water, and the female had a litter of puppies (the rescuers found homes for them before I got her).  Makes you really wonder about people!  she and her brother were on petfinder.com and they were very helpful in the adoption process.
I also have 2 other rescue dogs that ended up at my sisters place.  my sister lives on a vineyard, and people drop off animals, thinking they'll find their way.  Thankfully, these 2 found their way to ellen and Patrick.  one is a beautiful black and white bull terrier mix who unfortunately has 2 bad knees and can't run around the vineyard any more, so she's restricted to my back yard (and does very well).  The other is a pit bull who is the sweetest (dumbest shocked look on his face) who doesn't get along with another stray pit bull they have there.  he gets along great with the 3 at my house, so he's a semi-permanent resident too.  I will eventually post photos, when I figure out how to get all the ones in my phone onto this blog.
