![](ellie-2023-02.jpg) "Stop tickling that keyboard and start tickling my tummy!" |
![](ellie-2023-03.jpg) Mommy went out to get the mail and left me alone. What if she never comes back?? |
![](ellie-2023-04.jpg) It only snowed a tiny bit in February, but ya still gotta take care of business. |
![](ellie-2023-05.jpg) Snow walkies. |
![](ellie-2023-06.jpg) We got a new couch to match the dog! |
![](ellie-2023-07.jpg) Everybody's comfy. It's extra long so Ellie has enough room. |
![](ellie-2023-08.jpg) I fit too now! |
![](ellie-2023-09.jpg) Boop! |
![](ellie-2023-10.jpg) The only time her ears go up. |

![](ellie-2023-14.jpg) ... it's sooo depressing being stuck in here. |
![](ellie-2023-15.jpg) A beautiful day on the front porch! |
![](ellie-2023-16.jpg) Scanning the neighborhood for squirrels. |
![](ellie-2023-17.jpg) Mary's sister Annie visited. Ellie wasn't sure about her. |
![](ellie-2023-19.jpg) Still not so sure. |
![](ellie-2023-18.jpg) "Well, okay, I'll pose with her." |
![](ellie-2023-20.jpg) She's probably okay, then. |
![](ellie-2023-21.jpg) The traditional sisters visit shot, which the dog must photobomb. |
![](ellie-2023-22.jpg) Neighbor Janet likes to come over and chat when we're on the porch, and Ellie likes it when she does. |

![](ellie-2023-26.jpg) A target-rich environment! |
![](ellie-2023-28.jpg) The back porch is comfy too. |
![](ellie-2023-27.jpg) BUNNEH! |
![](ellie-2023-29.jpg) "Put the damn camera down and throw the ball - if you can get it away from me!" |
![](ellie-2023-30.jpg) Damn! They spotted me! |
![](ellie-2023-31.jpg) She really hates it when I do this. |
![](ellie-2023-32.jpg) But she loves it when Mary does this. |
![](ellie-2023-33.jpg) "Woof! Let me at 'em!" |
![](ellie-2023-34.jpg) "Mommy keeps leaving to get the mail. She ain't moving again, dammit!" |
![](ellie-2023-35.jpg) "Don't you dare take a pic - " |
![](ellie-2023-36.jpg) Uh oh, she spotted me. |
![](ellie-2023-37.jpg) Puppy dog eyes - and nose. |
![](ellie-2023-38.jpg) Halloween decorations with ears. |
![](ellie-2023-39.jpg) Her Tinder picture. |
![](ellie-2023-40.jpg) Tummy rubs! |
![](ellie-2023-41.jpg) Tummy rubs, alternate angle. |
![](ellie-2023-42.jpg) It's probably more comfortable than it looks... |
![](ellie-2023-43.jpg) You're in my spot. |
![](ellie-2023-44.jpg) Posing for the Christmas card - "look at the camera." |
![](ellie-2023-45.jpg) "No, look at the camera, not me." |
![](ellie-2023-46.jpg) "Over there, Ellie! No, over..." |
![](ellie-2023-47.jpg) Well great, but now I look stupid. |
![](ellie-2023-48.jpg) Okay, good enough! Whew! |
![](ellie-2023-49.jpg) Ta daaa. |
